Destiny 2 Season Of Plunder: Seasonal Challenges Guide Week 2

With a pirate adventure in full swing in Destiny 2’s Season of Plunder, the second week of seasonal content has brought with it some fresh challenges.

This week the focus is on getting up close and personal with enemies, as close-range weapons wielded inside of the Cosmodrome will help knock several objectives off of your list. Taking an SMG into a few rounds of Ketchcrash will also earn you plenty of experience points, and with a few Star Chart bounties in your inventory, you’ll be completing goals very quickly.

Once you head in for a treasure hunt, don’t forget to do your part and hurl engrams at your little caravan, and if you’re up for a challenge, you can tackle a Lost Sector and maybe even earn yourself a new Exotic like Fallen Sunstar or Point-Contact Cannon Braces depending on the gear rotations this week.

Antiquarian II and Expert Expedition should be first on your list this week, as that’s where you’ll get Repute. That rare material is used to unlock new nodes on the Star Chart, allowing for upgrades that can be used in Ketchcrash and expeditions.

That steady flow of experience will help fill up your season pass sooner so that you can grab even more loot in the process to outfit your Guardian with in Season of Plunder. You can also tackle seasonal challenges at your own pace, as they’ll only expire once the season concludes in December. 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.

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 Plunder’s challenges will fulfill the requirements for the 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.
