Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted is here, and it’s brought with it the usual swath of seasonal offerings, including seasonal challenges. These challenges are great for leveling up your season pass or your Artifact with XP, and earning special rewards that are key to progressing the season (such as this season’s Figments of Darkness).
In this guide, we’ve used datamining from bray.tech to determine all the seasonal challenges coming in Season of the Haunted.
[Ed. note: This post contains some mild spoilers for later in this season, mostly comprising mission titles that haven’t been released in-game.]
