Destiny 2: The Final Shape has brought with it a slight rework to the seasonal formula. Each season is now called an Episode, lasting for approximately four months. Each Episode is broken up into three Acts, wherein new content, weapons, and story beats will unfold. It's more of a content delivery shakeup than a proper rework to Destiny's seasonal offerings.
That goes for Seasonal Challenges as well, which are all mostly the same as before. Each week, a set of time-sensitive Triumphs will unlock that you can complete at any time throughout the Episode. Complete the challenge, and you'll earn a large chunk of XP and some Bright Dust. There are 15 sets of Seasonal Challenges this Episode, so let's go over them.
