Destiny 2 Season Of The Haunted: Seasonal Challenges Guide – Week 3

It’s Week 3 of Season of the Haunted, and once again it’s time to see what tasks lie in store for Guardians with the latest round of seasonal objectives in Destiny 2.

You’ll need to polish your marksmanship skills this week, as several challenges are related to seeing just how good your aim is. You can easily finish several tasks with a trip to Savathun’s Throne World, particularly the Extraction Lost Sector in the Quagmire. More experience points can be earned for taking part in the seasonal event Nightmare Containment, and the grind to reach the power level of 1560 will also be quite rewarding.

For the Scorched Earth challenge, it’s worth remembering that Team Scorched rotates in and out of the Crucible playlist. Catch that mode while you can, as it’s an explosive option where everyone wields a Fallen cannon.

As usual, you’ll gain a substantial amount of experience for completing seasonal challenges. That in turn helps you fill up your season pass sooner, grabbing even more loot in the process to outfit your Guardian with in Season of the Haunted. You can also tackle seasonal challenges at your own pace, as they’ll only expire once a season concludes. If you decide to take a break from Destiny 2 for a week or two, you can return and complete multiple challenges at the same time.

For more on Destiny 2, you can read up on how Iron Banner has been overhauled, the new tweaks to the Duality dungeon, and our Season of the Haunted guide.

How Do Seasonal Challenges Work?

Seasonal Challenges can be accessed from the Quests tab in your main menu, which is where you’ll find tasks that revolve around eliminating certain enemies with a specific element, taking part in one of the game’s new activities, or completing a Raid. Each challenge can be completed once per account, and each week will usually add around 10 new challenges which will be active for the duration of the season.

Completing Season of the Risen’s challenges will fulfill the requirements for the Master of All seasonal challenge, which in turn will net you a large Bright Dust reward that can be spent in the Eververse store on select cosmetics, emotes, and items.
