For week three of Season of the Splicer, another set of 10 seasonal challenges have been unlocked for Destiny 2 players to complete. This week’s challenges are heavily themed around some of the new additions for this week, including the Tangled Shore’s Override variant and the new Expunge pinnacle mission.
Destiny 2 players will also need to venture into Mayhem Clash in the Crucible and defeat Taken enemies in Gambit. Furthermore, as part of this week’s Path of the Splicer quest, players will need to continue working with Eliksni Splicer Mithrax to learn more about the Vex Network.
Here are the 10 seasonal challenges for week three of Season of the Splicer in Destiny 2:
Breakthrough:
To complete this challenge, players need to complete the Path of the Splicer III quest and defeat powerful Scorn enemies. Path of the Splicer III can be picked up from the Splicer Servitor in the HELM.
Powerful Scorn can be found throughout the Tangled Shore and Dreaming City in Strikes and Lost Sectors. However, bonus progress for this objective is awarded for powerful Scorn enemies defeated in Override, and this week’s Override: The Tangled Shore mission has a chance to spawn Scorn instead of Vex.
Expedited Expunge: Labyrinth:
For this challenge, Destiny 2 players need to complete the new Expunge: Labyrinth pinnacle mission in under 10 minutes. Players will have access to Expunge once they have completed Path of the Splicer III, and the mission can be repeated so that players can get quicker times.
Some new Splicer Gauntlet upgrades that apply to Expunge have also been added, so players should definitely focus on getting these upgrades to get the fast times. Players can check their time by looking at the mission clock in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Eliksni Ally I:
For this challenge, players need to reach Reputation Rank 10 with the Splicer Servitor. Players can increase their reputation with the Servitor simply by earning Decrypted Data, which can be obtained from Conflux Chests in Override, other seasonal challenges, and the Season Pass.
Pulse Rifle Splicer:
To complete this challenge, Destiny 2 players need to use Pulse Rifles in Override missions to defeat enemies, with precision final blows awarding bonus progress. A great weapon for this challenge would be the new Legendary Void Pulse Rifle, Gridskipper.
The Tangled Web We Weave:
This challenge tasks players with patrolling the Tangled Shore to complete two objectives. Players must complete 10 bounties from the Spider and need to earn progress towards a second objective by completing patrol missions, Lost Sectors, and Public Events. Starting at Thieves’ Landing, players can complete a big loop around the shore by completing any appropriate activities in Thieves’ Landing, Soriks’s Cut, and the Jetsam of Saturn.
Challenger’s Apogee:
To complete this challenge, Destiny 2 players reach 1310 power which is the hard power cap for this season. Players can do this by getting Powerful Rewards Engrams and by decrypting Prime Engrams. The Challenge’s Cipher challenge from week two required players to open five Prime Engrams so players that have completed that should be well on their way to 1310.
Long-Range Calibration:
For this challenge, players need to get kills with Pulse Rifles, Bows, and Trace Rifles on the Tangled Shore, with bonus progress available for kills with these weapons in Tangled Shore Lost Sectors.
Primeval Entourage:
In Gambit matches, players need to defeat any Taken enemies, but they can get bonus progress for defeating more powerful Taken. To complete this challenge quickly, players should aim to defend their bank from the enemy team’s Taken Blockers as much as possible as this will be an easy source of Taken enemies. Once onto the Primeval boss fight, players should ensure they are ready with a Void weapon to quickly defeat the Primeval Envoys.
Flourish of Power:
To complete this challenge, players need to head into Mayhem Clash in the rotator playlist in the Crucible to get Guardian kills with their Super abilities. Players need to know that Mayhem Clash is not always available to play since it is part of the rotator playlist, so players need to keep an eye on which game modes are available each week to make sure they do not miss out on this challenge.
Ultimate Champion:
For this challenge, Destiny 2 players need to defeat Champions in Nightfall Strikes on Hero difficulty or higher. Players will earn bonus progress for defeating Champions in higher difficulty Nightfalls.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light and the new Season of the Splicer are available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
