It seems that Bungie will be keeping seasonal challenges as one of the most important sources of EXP in Destiny 2. With each objective requiring players to calibrate weapons, complete activities, or acquire specific gears, the amount of EXP the game offers in return is essential for powering up.

To summarize the nature of each challenge, eight new objectives will be added with the reset next week. The objectives will include completing the final step of the seasonal questline and acquiring the ritual weapon, with the latter being retroactive for everyone.

The following article lists all the seasonal challenges scheduled for week 5 of Season of Defiance.
