All Seasonal Challenges, Season of the Lost - Destiny 2
Take note of all the Season of the Lost Seasonal Challenges so you can plan your sessions in Destiny 2.
Seasonal Challenges are back in Season of the Lost, giving players a way to earn a lot of XP, gear, Bright Dust, and more in Destiny 2. Unfortunately, the challenges only reveal themselves each week, otherwise remaining hidden from view in-game. This can make it tough to plan out your playtime and see what lies ahead. Thankfully, some clever players in the community have learned to dive into the game’s API.
All Seasonal Challenges – Season of the Lost
Each Season of Destiny 2, starting with Season of the Chosen, includes Seasonal Challenges, and Season of the Lost is no different. The Seasonal Challenges for Season 15 are much like previous seasons, with the focus being in completing various season-specific tasks, engaging in end-game content, and otherwise interacting with the game in various ways. Players that want to upgrade the Wayfinder’s Compass Seasonal Artifact will need to do a couple of the challenges each week, as the upgrades are locked behind challenge progression.
Below is a table that utilizes the Destiny 2 API, which was collected by Reddit user nutty-max. As always, this datamined information is subject to change.

Chipping away at the Seasonal Challenges in Season of the Lost is a pretty good idea. With only 10 weeks of challenges, there will be significantly more time between when all the challenges are available and the end of the season. Even if you do hold off until they’re all available, you’ll have plenty of time to finish them. Be sure to check out the Shacknews Destiny 2 Guide for more coverage of this season.
