Lloyd Coombes
Season of the Lost Destiny 2

Destiny 2’s new Weekly Challenges are here – here’s how to earn plenty of Bright Dust and XP in Season of the Lost via Destiny 2 Seasonal Challenges. 

Destiny 2’s latest season, Season of the Lost, brings back the weekly challenges that players have come to expect from Bungie’s MMO/loot-shooter hybrid.

These offer a great opportunity to level up your season pass in the game, earning sizeable amounts of XP for each one completed. Another benefit is Bright Dust, Bungie’s free-to-earn currency that allows players to buy a selection of rotating premium items including Armor Ornaments, emotes, and weapon customization options.

Now that all ten weeks of challenges are available, here’s everything to complete before The Witch Queen arrives in February 2022.
