Looking for a comprehensive list of all the seasonal challenges in Destiny 2’s Episode Echoes? Look no further—this guide has everything you need.
With the launch of The Final Shape, Bungie has shifted away from the previous seasonal model to the episodic release structure. Now, instead of four seasons a year, Destiny 2 players will get three larger episodes per year.
Each of these episodes will have three acts with each act having a runtime of six weeks. The first episode, called Echoes, has officially been released in Destiny 2, adding a new set of seasonal challenges, season pass rewards, and tons of new weapons and armor for you to unlock.
