Only a handful of challenges have been added to the Destiny 2 quest tab this week, now that the Wayfinder's Voyage storyline has wrapped up. An easy selection of tasks, a few runs in Astral Alignment, and a journey into the Ascendant Realms with the right gear equipped should see most of these objectives completed quickly and smoothly.
Like previous weeks, you won't have to complete every objective within seven days as Destiny 2 stacks new seasonal challenges on top of older ones. The advantage to this system is that it not only allows you to prioritize the tasks you deem most important, but you can sometimes complete multiple challenges at the same time.
Here's how it works and all of the seasonal challenges available so far.

Season of the Lost Weekly Challenges – Week 1
Week 1's challenges are focused on starting the new Wayfinder's Voyage quest through the Astral Alignment activity, gathering Parallax Trajectory, and taking part in weekly playlist challenges.

Season of the Lost Weekly Challenges – Week 4
This week's challenges will likely see you spending some time in the Tangled Shore, a location infested with Scorn. Besides encountering them in Sorik's Cut and Thieves' Landing, the Kingship Dock lost sector and The Hollowed Lair strike are also solid locations for quickly earning Scorn kills for the Wayfinders Voyage IV challenge. Astral Authority tasks you with grabbing Trace Rifle kills, and by now you should have at least one of the rare Exotics in your collection.
If you haven't acquired one yet, you'll either need to hope that one drops as an Exotic engram, is available from Xur when he visits every weekend, or spend a hard-earned Exotic Cipher at the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower. Alternatively, you can take part in a Shadowkeep quest to unlock the trace rifle Divinity, if you're up for taking part in the Garden of Salvation raid.
The quickest way to get a Trace Rifle--or at least a new one--this week, may be to take part in the Ager's Scepter quest that has just gone live. We'll update this post with a guide on how to obtain the latest Exotic soon.
