Seasonal Challenges continue in Season of the Splicer, giving players a great way to earn XP, gear and even Bright Dust in Destiny 2. Keeping track of the Seasonal Challenges in Season of the Splicer is a great way to plan out your daily Destiny 2 game time, so you don’t waste a second. Let’s check out what’s on offer this season.
Much like the previous Season, Season of the Splicer includes Seasonal Challenges that unlock each week. While some might prefer to smash through them all at once, this at least focuses players on a handful of tasks. Those that do want to do them all in one go can hold off until Week 10, at which point all the challenges should be live.
Below is a table that utilizes information that has been pulled from Destiny 2’s API from Reddit user nutty-max. It’s always worth mentioning that datamined information is subject to change, so until I can confirm each challenge each week, take any unreleased weeks with a grain of salt.

Depending on your playstyle, you might like to chip away at the Seasonal Challenges each week or wait until Week 10 for when they’re all available. Ideally, doing a bit each week will ensure you’re not overwhelmed by the time the Season of the Splicer end date approaches.
The Seasonal Challenges for Season of the Splicer will no doubt be fairly straightforward. Typically, there are only a handful that might cause players a moment’s pause, but other than that, enjoy earning a whole lot of XP and gear quickly and easily.
