Destiny 2‘s Season of the Chosen changes how seasonal challenges and weekly bounties work, which should make it easier for players to actually complete everything. Instead of tracking down weekly bounties, players will now get between three and 10 weekly challenges every Tuesday for the first 10 weeks of the season.
Here are all the seasonal and weekly challenges for Season of the Chosen up to week five.

How challenges work in Season of the Chosen
Bungie has overhauled the weekly challenges in Season of the Chosen. Weekly bounties are now weekly challenges, and you’ll have access to them for the duration of the season. If you miss a couple of challenges, or if you take some time off, you can still complete them before Season of the Chosen ends on May 11.
There will be 75 total weekly challenges over the first 10 weeks of Season of the Chosen, tasking you with gathering Cabal Gold for the Hammer of Proving, calibrating elemental weapons on certain planets, and much more. Every challenge awards XP, at least, though others may include emblems, weapons, and/or Bright Dust. A few select challenges award War Table reputation, allowing you to upgrade the Hammer of Proving at the HELM.
You don’t need to do anything to start the weekly challenges. Inside the Quests panel in your Director, you’ll see the weekly challenges listed with your progress. Simply complete the challenge, claim it in the Quests panel, and the rewards are yours. You don’t need the season pass to access weekly challenges, though some require you to complete activities only available to season pass holders.
Some challenges persist between weeks, too. For example, week one has the Golden Reaper challenge, where you need to gather 100 Cabal Gold. Week two has the same challenge, but it requires 200 Cabal Gold. Your progress in these types of challenges carries over between weeks.
In addition to the rewards and War Table reputation, completing all 75 weekly challenges will round out the Master of All seasonal challenge. This is the only seasonal challenge at the time of writing, and it simply requires you to complete all of the weekly challenges. For your effort, you’ll be rewarded with a large pile of Bright Dust.
Season of the Chosen: Weekly challenges
Below, we’ve listed the challenges for each week of Season of the Chosen, along with a few tips for completing them. If you need to jump to a specific week, use the links below.
Week one
| Weekly challenge | Requirements | Rewards |
| Contender’s Ascent |
|
|
| Golden Reaper |
|
|
| Crash and Converge |
|
|
| Lenses in Focus |
|
|
| Challenger’s Aspiration |
|
|
| Icebound |
|
|
| Hail of Bullets |
|
|
| Dredgin’ Up Victory |
|
|
| Flourish of Power |
|
|
| Dominance Operandi: Fallen |
|
Week one is very straightforward. After you complete Challenger’s Proving, we recommend heading to the Battlegrounds playlist first. That will automatically complete Lenses in Focus and give you a head start on defeating 75 Cabal enemies. Then, cycle through Gambit, Crucible, and strikes to gather your Cabal Gold and finish off the bottom three challenges.
By then, you should have a few Hammer Charges (make sure to put an emblem in the Hammer of Proving between each Battlegrounds match), allowing you to complete Crash and Converge. Then, it’s just a matter of cleaning up some enemies on Europa for Icebound and Challenger’s Aspiration. Week one is easy, so you shouldn’t have any problems completing all 10 challenges.
Week two
| Weekly challenge | Requirements | Rewards |
| Contender’s Ascent II |
|
|
| Golden Reaper |
|
|
| Crash and Converge |
|
|
| The Bigger They Are |
|
|
| Trials of the Tinker | ||
| Chosen Cosmonaut |
|
|
| Expose to the Elements |
|
|
| Drifter’s Chosen |
|
|
| Entertain Lord Shaxx |
|
|
| Dominance Operandi: Cabal |
|
Week two continues the pattern established in week one. The first three challenges are continuations of challenges from week one, and your progress carries over. Battlegrounds is still a great place to start, allowing you to tackle The Bigger They Are and Crash and Converge. From there, cycle through Gambit, Crucible, and strikes to complete the bottom three challenges and rack up some Cabal Gold.
Before doing any of that, though, head to the HELM to pick up Challenger’s Proving II. Just like the week one quest, this one is short and straightforward, and it’ll give you a decent start on the other weekly challenges.
Week three
| Weekly challenge | Requirements | Rewards |
| Contender’s Ascent III |
|
|
| Golden Reaper |
|
|
| Crash and Converge |
|
|
| Captain’s Log |
|
|
| Failsafe Forward |
|
|
| Challenger’s Apogee | ||
| Algorithmic Precision |
|
|
| Primeval Entourage |
|
|
| Iron Sharpens Iron |
|
|
| Challenge Our Foes |
|
Week three is all about Nessus, echoing challenges from the first two weeks in a different location. Golden Reaper, Contender’s Ascent, and Crash and Converge show up again, so make sure to head to the HELM and complete the quest before grinding the Battlegrounds playlist. Otherwise, play PvE on Nessus and participate in playlist activities, and you shouldn’t have too many problems.
The oddball is Captain’s Log. This challenge references the Presage Exotic quest that awards the Dead Man’s Tale Exotic scout rifle. After playing through, return to the quest and hunt for five logs to complete this challenge.
Week four
| Weekly challenge | Requirements | Rewards |
| Contender’s Ascent IV |
|
|
| Golden Reaper |
|
|
| Intruder Alert |
|
|
| Explosive Entrance |
|
|
| Contender’s Delve |
|
|
| Challenger’s Cipher |
|
|
| Sling the Stone… |
|
|
| High-Value Hunter |
|
|
| Cadre of Contenders |
|
|
| Vanguard Chosen |
|
Week four marks an uptick in difficulty across the board, with more difficult strike, Gambit, and Crucible challenges. As with previous weeks, start this one by heading to the HELM to pick up Challenger’s Proving IV and complete it. This time, you get more lore, War Table reputation, and XP, but also the Far Future sniper rifle from Season of the Chosen.
There aren’t any planet-specific challenges this week, so we recommend bouncing back and forth between Battlegrounds, strikes, Gambit, and Crucible. As long as you’re focused on Vanguard Chosen, Cadre of Contenders, High-Value Hunter, and Explosive Entrance, you should naturally pick up the other challenges without too many problems. Golden Reaper shows up again this week, too, building on the Cabal Gold you’ve earned in previous weeks.
Week five
| Weekly challenge | Requirements | Rewards |
| Contender’s Ascent V |
|
|
| Golden Reaper |
|
|
| Graven Scrawl |
|
|
| Lenses in Focus |
|
|
| Apex Armorer |
|
|
| Salvager’s Salvo Armament |
|
|
| In It for Infamy |
|
|
| Ultimate Champion |
|
Week five brings a lot of changes. New versions of Contender’s Ascent and Golden Reaper are available, so make sure to head to the HELM before doing anything else. Otherwise, the challenges are specialized. Graven Scrawl references the Captain’s Log challenge from week three, tasking you with finding all the clues in this season’s Presage Exotic quest. Apex Armorer and Lenses in Focus are straightforward, but make sure to check out our guide on Destiny 2 Masterwork gear if you’re having problems with the former.
Salvager’s Salvo Armament tasks you with unlocking the Salvager’s Salvo grenade launcher, this season’s Ritual weapon. Make sure to read our Salvager’s Salvo guide to unlock it, as it’s an extremely powerful grenade launcher and will net you 4x XP. In It for Infamy and Ultimate Champion just require time, but you’ll earn Cabal Gold and progress toward Golden Reaper. You have to do a little more legwork in week five, but you’ll earn more XP and War Table reputation compared to previous weeks.
