Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted is upon everyone, where the Guardian boards the Leviathan. Typically, the seventeenth season introduces everyone to a new artifact known as Nightmare Harvester. This will further unlock several other modifications for everyone.
Each of these modifications will be useful against Champions and other enemies, granting players several new buffs introduced with Season 17. The following article breaks down the process of acquiring seasonal artifacts, allowing everyone to get started with the season.
Season of the Haunted artifact and how to acquire it in Destiny 2 right now (2022)
The latest artifact in Season 17, the Nightmare Harvester, is the latest addition to the Guardian’s inventory. Similar to the seasonal artifacts that came before, players will need to level it up and acquire blue mods for their weapons. To start things off, Guardians will have to complete the introductory mission in Season 17, Operation Midas.
After entering the game, every Guardian will be placed inside the newly haunted Leviathan ship. Following a series of waypoints and the Egregor mechanism from the Prestige mission, the game will ask players to enter Calus's throne to investigate. Upon facing multiple nightmares, they will need to evacuate from there.
Upon completing the first step, everyone will be sent to the newly formed H.E.L.M in the Tower. From there, players will need to go to the room on the H.E.L.M and interact with the Crown of Sorrow. This is the new seasonal vendor for Season of the Haunted, where everyone will be able to claim bounties, armor, weapons, and focus engrams.
As mentioned before, the seasonal artifact consists of a new set of mods, that may very well change the meta for weapons in Season 17. All the mods in the Nightmare Harvester are as follows:
- Barrier Sidearm
- Overload Auto Rifle and Submachine Gun
- Unstoppable Scout Rifle
- Unstoppable Glaive
- Anti Barrier Pulse Rifle
- Shotgun Holster
- Trace Rifle Ammo Finder
- Nightmarish Opulence
- Pulse Rifle Targeting
- Sidearm Holster
- Shotgun Dexterity
- Trace Rifle Reserves
- Unquenchable Thirst
- Armor of the Dying Star
- Sidearm Dexterity
- Overload Trace Rifle
- Revitalizing Blast
- Withering Heat
- Molten Overload
- Glaive of Dreams
- Classy Restoration
- Radiant Orbs
- Rays of Precision
- Flame Harvesting
- Solar Fulmination
Similar to previous high-energy seasonal mods, most of them consist of synergized Class Item modifications with the new Solar rework. The Classy Restoration mod provides healing to users upon activating Solar energy, while Radiant Orbs grants 27% increased damage by applying the Radiant buff.
Scout and Pulse Rifles might become meta in the upcoming Grandmaster Nightfall as well since both these weapons can be paired with Unstoppable and Anti Barrier modifications. Players can get all of these mods alongside extra power by leveling up the artifact. The best way to earn EXPs is through seasonal challenges.
