One of the changes to Destiny 2 in Season of the Deep is the introduction of “Seasonal Bonuses.” In past seasons, certain Seasonal Challenges would award players with currencies they could use to upgrade the seasonal vendor and unlock new abilities. But in the Season of the Deep, that’s changed. Now, Seasonal Challenges reward only XP and Bright Dust, with a few rewarding weapons and other gear. And rather than earn currencies to upgrade the seasonal vendor, players must complete Seasonal Bonuses.
To find your Seasonal Bonuses in Destiny 2, go to the Seasonal Challenges page then click on the middle tab. There are ten Seasonal Bonuses in the Season of the Deep, and rather than grant a currency you can use to unlock upgrades, each is tied to a specific upgrade. Here are each of the challenges, along with their corresponding upgrade.
- Deep Challenger: Complete Week 1 of “Into the Depths”
- Bonus: Completing a Season of the Deep weekly activity challenge grants a chance to earn an additional Deep Engram when completing activities. Resets weekly.
