A new season of Destiny 2 means new challenges, new storylines to explore, and more seasonal goals to pursue. Like the previous installments, completing these challenges is well worth the effort in Season 18, as you’ll gain a significant amount of experience in the process. That will help you fill out your season tickets sooner, garnering even more loot in the process to equip your Guardians in Season of the Haunted.
You can also tackle seasonal challenges at your own pace, as they will only expire after the season ends. If you decide to take a break from Destiny 2 for a week or two, you can come back and complete multiple challenges at once.
During the first week, you should be able to easily complete several challenges in one go. As long as you’re killing Scorn on the Derelict Leviathan with a mid-range weapon, you should be able to earn some easy XP that can be used to unlock gear and passive season bonuses.
Throw a few rounds of Gambit and Momentum Area Control, and you’ll easily land a large pile of Bright Dust by the end of this season. For more on Destiny 2 check out Season of the Haunted Guide and How Solar 3.0 is turning the classic subclass into a powerful new option.

Each account can complete each challenge once, and each week will typically add around 10 new challenges that will be active throughout the season.
Completing the Season of the Risen challenges will fulfill the requirements for the Master of All seasonal challenge, which in turn will give you a large Bright Dust bonus that can be used in the Eververse store to purchase cosmetics. selected products, icons and items.
