All seasonal challenges for Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph week 3 (December 20) 

Seasonal challenges in the initial weeks of a new Destiny 2 season are the primary source of XP gains for many players. All players are on a quest to make their characters fit for specific activities, such as Grandmaster Nightfall, Master Raids, and even Trials of Osiris.

To do so, pinnacles and artifact bonuses are the primary elements everyone looks at. The upcoming reset will introduce a new set of challenges, rewarding everyone with a massive chunk of XP upon completion, alongside other materials as rewards.

To complete this challenge, players must defeat combatants using Solar or Stasis damage inside Heist Battlegrounds. As mentioned, it can be either of the two damage types, so clearing adds (additional enemies) with Gjallarhorn or using a Kinetic Stasis Primary will count towards progress.

Rewards: Challenger XP+

2) Rapid loadout

Players will need to defeat combatants using Pulse Rifles or Trace Rifles. However, bonus progress will be granted upon defeating Guardians. Pulse Rifles in PvP is the most recommended choice, as Messenger, No Time to Explain, or even the new Disparity can be lethal against Guardians.

Additional objectives require players to defeat combatants inside the Heist Battlegrounds quickly.

Pulse Rifle or Trace Rifle kills required: 150

Quick kills required: 10

Rewards: Challenger XP+

• Ketchcrash playlist.

The Playlist pinnacles will also be a great option until the cap hits, and players will still get +1 in the upcoming weeks.
