by With the current Season of Plunder storyline coming to an end in Destiny 2, there aren’t too many new objectives to chase this week. They’re still worth doing for Repute and some Bright Dust, and if you’ve had a short break, you can easily knock out a lot of them in a night of action.
This week, you’ll want to load up on some anti-Champion mods and head into the Ketchcrash and Expedition activities. Taking out Champions and collecting map shards will quickly earn you the two pieces of Repute available this week, as well as machine guns, scout rifles and sidearms equipped, and some Bright Dust.
If you’re up for a challenge, you can tackle a Legendary Lost Domain and maybe even earn a new Exotic like Fallen Sunstar or Point-Contact Cannon Braces, depending on the gear rotations this week.
This steady flow of experience will help you fill up your season pass sooner so you can grab even more loot in the process to equip your Guardian in Season of Plunder. You can also tackle seasonal challenges at your own pace, as they will expire once the season ends in December. If you decide to take a break from Destiny 2 for a week or two, you can come back and complete multiple challenges at once.

How do seasonal challenges work?
Seasonal Challenges can be accessed from the Quests tab in your main menu, where you’ll find tasks that revolve around eliminating certain enemies with a specific item, participating in one of the game’s new activities, or completing a Raid. Each challenge can be completed once per account and each week will typically add around 10 new challenges that will be active during the season.
Completing the Season of Plunder challenges will satisfy the seasonal challenge requirements, which in turn will net you a large Bright Dust reward that you can spend in the Eververse store on select cosmetics, emotes, and items.
