Destiny 2 Season Of Plunder: Seasonal Challenges Guide Week 3
After two weeks of outer space privateering and digging up treasure, Season of Plunder is well underway in Destiny 2 and has a fresh set of seasonal challenges to work through.
This week, you’ll want to tackle the latest Antiquarian quest and Ketchcrasher to earn the rare Repute material, which can be used to unlock more nodes in the Star Chart. Many of this week’s seasonal objectives also tie into each other, so a quick trip to Nessus, a few runs in Ketchcrash, and a few matches in the revamped Iron Banner will start knocking those objectives off of your list.
As a reminder, Iron Banner is using a new mode called Eruption, and also has several other tweaks to its design in play. While you don’t have to focus solely on Iron Banner to get Iron Sharpens Iron completed, it’s worth noting that there will only be two Iron Banners per season.
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.
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.
