The fourth set of Seasonal Challenges for Destiny 2's Season of the Seraph became available, granting players a fresh batch of Triumphs that reward substantial experience points and Bright Dust. These particular challenges were notably accessible, leaning heavily on core activity participation and precision final blows with Scout Rifles. Many players who had been consistently active throughout the season likely found some objectives already completed upon log-in. This guide covers every challenge released during that week, their respective rewards, and the most efficient methods for finishing them.
More Than A Weapon IV
This challenge forms part of the season's main quest, which is obtained by completing the introductory quest at the start of Season of the Seraph. Players need to finish Week 4 of "More Than a Weapon" by visiting the Exo Frame in the H.E.L.M. and completing the listed objectives. The second portion of this challenge demands the defeat of 250 Scorn or Hive combatants anywhere in the system. A highly effective method is to farm Heist Battlegrounds, especially the Moon variant, because that location offers dense clusters of Hive enemies. The reward for completing More Than A Weapon IV includes an Exo Frame Module and 12,500 XP.
Heist Battlegrounds III
This challenge asks players to complete 20 Heist Battlegrounds and breach three submind vaults without alerting Wrathborn reinforcements. Completing twenty Heists can feel repetitive, so spacing this objective out over the course of the season is much more comfortable than attempting it all at once. The second objective requires killing Deathtongue Choristers before they reach a Hive Totem. Whenever a Chorister spawns, the game displays a message and usually plays an audible warning from Ana Bray or Mara Sov. These enemies are surprisingly durable, so using Heavy ammunition or a Super is completely justified. The reward is an Exo Frame Module and 12,500 XP.
Entropic Shock
Entropic Shock requires players to defeat 150 combatants in Heist Battlegrounds using Arc or Void damage. Any source of Arc or Void damage counts, including weapons, abilities, and Supers. Equipping a favorite Arc or Void Primary weapon and a matching subclass is the simplest way to complete this quickly. Voltshot weapons are especially effective because the chain lightning can clear groups of adds rapidly. Hunters can run Nightstalker with Gyrfalcon's Hauberk for constant Volatile Rounds, Titans can use Striker with Storm Grenades and Touch of Thunder for frequent grenade spam, and Warlocks can lean on Voidwalker with Echo of Persistence for sustained Volatile Rounds. The reward is a moderate amount of XP.
Seasonal Shaping
This challenge requires unlocking the Pattern for any Seasonal or IKELOS v1.0.3 weapon. During the fourth week, the Exo Frame provides access to most red border upgrades. Players who do not yet have a craftable seasonal weapon should focus on an IKELOS pattern instead. Using the Enhanced Resonance Amp from the inventory detects a Resonate Stem on a destination. These floating diamonds bear the Warmind insignia and, when opened, have a high chance of dropping a red border IKELOS weapon. Repeating this process until a craftable IKELOS weapon is obtained is the most reliable route.
Mod Collector
Mod Collector asks players to unlock 12 mods from the seasonal Artifact. This is accomplished by earning XP throughout the season, so active players will likely complete it automatically. Those who are pressed for time should complete other Seasonal Challenges and vendor bounties to quickly gain XP. If retroactive credit does not apply, resetting the Artifact through the Artifact menu and selecting 12 mods again completes the challenge at the cost of a small amount of Glimmer. The reward is 50,000 XP and 150 Bright Dust.
Precision Calibration
Precision Calibration requires landing 200 precision final blows with Scout Rifles, Sniper Rifles, or Linear Fusion Rifles. Precision final blows against Guardians grant bonus progress. A Scout Rifle and a Lost Sector farm on Europa or Savathun's Throne World is a solid approach. Dead Man's Tale is an excellent choice because Season of the Seraph improved its hip-fire headshot consistency, and it also deals strong damage against majors. Linear Fusion Rifles work well for eliminating bosses quickly. The reward is 25,000 XP and 75 Bright Dust.
High-Value Hunter
This challenge involves defeating powerful combatants in Gambit. Orange and yellow bar enemies count, and high-value targets grant bonus progress. The listed requirement is 75 powerful combatants, though the actual number feels lower because many enemies grant extra progress. Blockers, Primeval Envoys, the Primeval itself, and enemy Guardians all contribute. Focusing on killing blockers and Envoys during each match should finish this challenge in just a few games. The reward is 50,000 XP and 150 Bright Dust.
Momentum Crash
Momentum Crash requires defeating 50 Guardians in the Momentum Control playlist. Holding Zone Advantage, meaning two objectives captured, grants double progress. Momentum Control reduces ability uptime while increasing weapon lethality, so the mode plays much faster than traditional PvP. A Scout Rifle or Bow is recommended for the longer sightlines. The reward is 25,000 XP and 75 Bright Dust.
Darkest Nightfall
Darkest Nightfall requires completing any Nightfall strike on Hero difficulty or higher. Three completions are needed. Hero difficulty has matchmaking enabled, while higher difficulties do not. This challenge should take under an hour for most players and rewards a Nightfall weapon, 25,000 XP, and 75 Bright Dust.
