Additional challenges include completing Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes and winning competitive matches in the Crucible.

Destiny 2 Season of Defiance Week 7 seasonal challenges and how to complete them (April 11)

1) Eternal Queensguard

To complete this challenge, players must run a Defiant Battlegrounds activity from this season and finish it without dying. Since it can be done at any difficulty, players are highly recommended to run the EDZ node, as it's shorter in comparison to the other two.

Additionally, Guardians can either matchmake solo or enter with a fireteam since the objective's tied to individual achievements rather than a single fireteam. Loadouts such as Well of Radiance Warlocks, Overshield Titans, and Invisible Hunters can be great for safety.

Those wanting to skip jump mechanics can do so by waiting for their fire team members to reach an encounter.

• Completion required: 1

Rewards: Challenger XP+

2) Defiant Focus

Players will need to decode or focus on Defiant Engrams at the War Table during the Season of Defiance. While Defiant Engrams are easy to obtain, focusing them on the War Table will require a few more materials as currencies. Additional upgrades will help players get guaranteed red-bordered weapons and high-stat armor pieces.

• The number of Defiant Engrams focusing required: 20

Rewards: Challenger XP+

3) Favored Liberator
