All seasonal challenges for Destiny 2 Season of Defiance week 3 (March 14) 

New seasonal challenges will be added to the game's directory with the arrival of Destiny 2 Season 20's third weekly reset. These objectives require players to kill combatants across the system or complete seasonal quests and calibrations for EXP.

To summarize what is in store for everyone, Guardians must defeat others within the Iron Banner, Shadow Legions in Defiant Battlegrounds, calibrations in EDZ, and more. These challenges are some of the core sources of EXP and Bright Dust, so completing them is vital for powering up.
