The latest weekly reset for Destiny has just kicked in, and with it comes a fresh set of seasonal challenges. It's another modest week on this front, as you'll be fine-tuning hand cannons, crushing the Ghosts of Lucent Hives, and running the latest raid as part of this week's objectives.
Completing these challenges is well worth the effort, as you'll gain a substantial amount of experience in the process. That in turn helps you fill up your season pass sooner, grabbing even more loot in the process. It's a win-win situation.
Even better, you can pursue these seasonal challenges at your own leisure, as they'll only expire once a season concludes. 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. For more on the game, you can check out the latest Iron Banter column, save up some Legendary Shards now that Xur no longer sells junk armor, and spend all your Iron Banner tokens before it's too late.

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 the Risen's challenges will fulfill the requirements for the Master of All 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.
