It’s that time of the Destiny 2 seasonal cycle where things are a bit more relaxed. Season of the Seraph is still active, but at this point in the season, there are only a handful of objectives to check off of your list.

For this week, there’s definitely not that much to do. Iron Banner is back, but the focus with these seasonal objectives makes for some easy XP and Bright Dust gains. Simply focus on dealing Void and Stasis damage through your weapons or classes, keep a machine gun equipped, and cycle through Heist Battlegrounds to knock several challenges off in one go.
