Destiny 2 Season of the Splicer is a fun seasonal feature for Destiny 2. It’s a bit of a departure from the main Destiny 2 story, but it’s also a chance to play with new weapons, armor, and other goodies that are only available for one season. Season of the Splicer 2018 is a continuation of the 2018-2019 season, which is themed around King’s Fall, a new raid in Destiny 2’s upcoming Wrath of the Machine expansion.
Destiny 2’s first seasonal event, Season of the Splicer, is just around the corner. Bungie has revealed that the event will feature a new raid, which will be released on January 2nd. During this event, the Leviathan boss will be replaced by Arcade, a Cabal boss. Bungie has also revealed that there will be increased level caps, and the addition of a new armor type called Splicer.
Destiny 2 provides players with Seasonal Challenges to spice up the gameplay and to reward players for their hard efforts. In the Season of the Splicer, we are introduced to a whole new set of features such as Overrides, Conflux Chests, Decrypting, and more.
For those who love to complete challenges and achievements, we have listed down all the Season of the Splicer weekly challenges for you.

Tips
- The fastest way to complete seasonal challenges would be to simply play through the game first as you normally would and catch up later on what is missing.
- As you do missions and complete activities, your seasonal challenges may complete on their own, allowing you to focus on the seasonal quest first.
- Completing the seasonal challenges is a great way to level up your artifact, as it requires XP to gain levels.
Verdict
The Season of the Splicer Seasonal Challenges provides you with a huge boost when it comes to leveling up, making it easier to rack those rewards from the Season Pass.
This also makes it much easier to maximize your artifact, since it gains levels based on the XP that you obtain, meaning higher levels makes your artifact stronger. Most of these challenges will be complete without you even focusing on them, which means you can come back later to complete what you missed out on.
There are a total of 75 Seasonal Challenges for you to complete, some of them reward Bright Dust, XP, Gear, and more, making it worth completing.
