Quick Links
Week 3 of Destiny 2’s Season of the Seraph is here, and with it, you have another set of 10 weekly challenges to complete. Some of these challenges can be completed pretty quickly, so they’re worth focus-firing. Others are meant to be handled as you progress throughout the season.
As long as you’re playing regularly and hitting the appropriate activities, you should have little trouble completing most, if not all, of these before the season ends.
More Than A Weapon III
Complete Week 3 of More Than a Weapon. Defeat Hive and Fallen combatants anywhere in the system.
- More Than a Weapon: Week 3 completed
- Combatants 0/250
Rewards: Exo Frame Module, Challenger XP+
A relatively straightforward challenge for the week, you’ll simply want to continue into week 3 of the More Than a Weapon season questline following the rescue (of sorts) of the Warmind AI, Rasputin. You should be able to defeat most if not all of the 250 combatants while you pursue the new stages of the seasonal quest line.
In The Cold Light Of The Sun
Defeat combatants with Solar or Stasis damage in Heist Battlegrounds.
- Solar or Stasis final blows 0%
Rewards: Challenger XP+
A perfect challenge to complete alongside some of More Than a Weapon’s week 3 quest steps, simply equip Solar or Stasis weapons and a Solar or Stasis subclass and slay away during any Heist Battlegrounds. You’ll likely need to run a few separately from the weekly quest step requirements, but as far as seasonal activities go, this one’s been pretty engaging!
Europa Activities
On Europa, earn progress by completing bounties, patrols, public events, and Lost Sectors.
- Progress 0%
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Head on over to your favorite moon of Jupiter, grab some bounties from Variks the Loyal, and complete any activities you come across. Europa is crawling with Fallen enemies, so it’s a great opportunity to complete defeating the 250 Hive and Fallen combatants from the More Than A Weapon III challenge.
Close-Range Calibration
Calibrate close-range weapons — Sidearms, Submachine Guns, Shotguns, Glaives, and Swords — on Europa. Bonus progress for rapidly defeating combatants.
- Calibration 0%
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Another great opportunity for challenge completion synergy, you’ll need to calibrate some close-range weapons on Europa — perfect alongside the Europa Activities weekly seasonal challenge. Simply equip one of the required weapons (Sidearms, Submachine Guns, Shotguns, Glaives, and/or Swords) and slay enemies to your heart’s content.
Scorched Earth
Defeat Guardians in Team Scorched. Charged detonations in midair or on surfaces earn bonus progress.
- Guardians 0/40
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Time to dust off your PVP set (if you have one) and enter the Crucible activity for Team Scorched. Team Scorched can be a blast (literally) as everyone comes equipped with Scorch Cannons. This game mode isn’t great for completing weapon-specific bounties for Lord Shaxx, but it can still be great fun.
Seraph's Shield I
Complete the Exotic mission “Operation: Seraph's Shield” to earn the Revision Zero Exotic Pulse Rifle.
Defeat combatants anywhere in the system while using Pulse Rifles.
- “Operation: Seraph’s Shield” completed
- Combatants 0%
Rewards: Exo Frame Module, Challenger XP+
You’ll gain access to this Exotic mission after completing More Than A Weapon’s week 3 quest steps. After acquiring the quest on the H.E.L.M., you’ll find it available via the H.E.L.M. menu. This is how you’ll acquire the new seasonal Exotic weapon, Revision Zero. This Exotic happens to be a Pulse Rifle, so you can defeat combatants with it to complete the second part of this challenge, but you can also wait until after you acquire Revision Zero: it’ll be a nice opportunity to test it out!
Rapid Loadout
Defeat targets with Pulse Rifles or Trace Rifles. Bonus progress for defeating Guardians.
- Pulse Rifle or Trace Rifle final blows 0%
- Rapidly defeated 0/10
Rewards: Challenger XP+
A simple challenge to complete, simply equip a Pulse Rifle or Trace Rifle and slay enemies (rapidly, I might add). You’ll finish this more quickly by defeating Guardians in the Crucible playlist, but if you don’t have a solid track record of actually eliminating enemy Guardians, you’re probably better off heading to the Moon for some Altars of Sorrow action.
Power Broker
Reach Power Level 1580 by earning powerful rewards and Prime Engrams.
- Power Level 1580
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Another simple challenge, you should have little difficulty achieving a Power Level of 1580 by simply taking part in gameplay activities and equipping better and better loot as you go.
Primeval Entourage
Defeat Taken in Gambit. Earn bonus progress for defeating tougher combatants.
- Taken 0%
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Another fairly simple challenge, you’ll need to play some Gambit games and defeat the Taken whenever they show up. If you don’t play too much Gambit, you might benefit from waiting until later in the season. That way, you’ll have several Gambit-related challenges built up over the weeks, and you can work toward them all at once.
Ultimate Champion
Defeat Champions in any Nightfall strike on Hero difficulty or higher. Earn bonus progress at higher tiers.
- Champions 0%
Rewards: Challenger XP+, Bright Dust
Get ready for some Vanguard action! Head into the Nightfall strike playlist and make sure you’re tagging any Champions you come across — don’t just let your strike team deal with them! Also, make sure to equip the appropriate Champion mods before heading in. They’re important.
