Destiny 2 has almost reached the midpoint for Season of Plunder, and like previous weeks, there’s a whole new set of challenges to start ticking off so that you can earn your Scallywag seal and title.
This week, you’ll want to grab the Antiquarian IV and Freebooter challenges, which will award you the rare Repute material once they’re completed. You’ll need Repute to unlock more nodes on the Star Chart, and while you’re taking on other challenges, equip shotguns, sniper rifles, scout rifles, and linear fusion rifles to knock some other tasks off of your list.
You can also farm Nessus for some easy Vex kills to blaze through Antiquarian IV easily, and if you’ve been absent from Gambit since Season of Plunder, now is a good time to hop back in and kill several Cabal birds with one Exotic stone.
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.
