Seasonal activities from Season 19 will be entering the pool in the upcoming week, as Heist Battlegrounds from Mars will be the second entry in the list of six Nightfall Strikes. It is also the first Battlegrounds scheduled for Nightfall ever, as players can expect more in the seasons to come.

Based on the normal runs in Season of the Seraph, it can be gathered that the mission will have both Barrier Knights and Unstoppable Ogres across all encounters. The five encounters on Heist Battlegrounds Mars include the following:

• Capture three points outside.
• Defend Ghost.
• Jumping puzzle.
• Open the bunker door.
• Defeat the final boss.

Any further details on modifiers and rewards will be revealed once the Nightfall goes live on March 7.

3) Mayhem and bonus Crucible ranks

Mayhem will be in the rotator playlist of the Crucible, letting players complete three matches for the pinnacle gear. This PvP game mode significantly regenerates super energy for all players, allowing almost every interaction to happen between supers only.

There will also be seasonal challenges tied to the Mayhem playlist, as scoring 25 kills in the game mode will reward Challenger XP and Bright Dust. Additionally, forming enough activity streaks will grant bonus ranks, as Mayhem is the best possible game mode to earn ranks quickly.
