Season of the Chosen is officially underway in Destiny 2, and there’s a lot to check out already. More content will be introduced over the course of the season, but already we have a new activity, hub location, Strike, Exotic, challenge system, balance changes, and much more.
If you’re looking for the nitty-gritty changes to the game, you’ll want to check out the Season of the Chosen patch notes. But that only begins to touch on what’s new, and you might need some help sorting through everything that’s new and different. You can check out our Season of the Chosen guides and rundown on all of the key new additions, including all of the unlocks in the season pass, below.

Ticuu’s Divination
Ticuu’s Divination is a new Exotic bow as part of Season of the Chosen. It’s a fun addition to the game, firing auto-tracking shots at multiple targets when fired from the hip, while aiming down the sights allows you to detonate targets you’ve marked. Season pass owners get it for free right at Rank 1, but even free players can get their hands on it by leveling up the season pass to Rank 35. Once you’ve got it, you can word toward getting the Exotic catalyst or the Ticuu’s Divination ornament that awaits at the end of the season pass.

Salvager’s Salvo
Another new weapon this season is Salvager’s Salvo, an Energy-slot grenade launcher. Unlike Ticcu’s Divination, don’t expect a route to getting your hands on it quickly: Unlocking it involves completing the Messy Business quest, which is intended to be the sort of thing you work on over the course of the season. That doesn’t mean you can’t speed the process along, however, so be sure to check out our guide for tips on how to approach the quest.

Battlegrounds, HELM, Hammer of Proving, And Umbral Engrams
HELM serves as your new base of operations for Season of the Chosen, housing many of the Tower’s key functions (like Vault access and a postmaster) and quest givers. It’s also where you’ll make use of Umbral Engrams, which make a return from the past as a means of letting you have control over the types of gear you receive. There’s also the Hammer of Proving, which serves as a key component in taking part in Battlegrounds, a new core activity for this season where you’ll challenge Cabal enemies.

Seasonal Challenges
Among the changes in Season of the Chosen is how you’re tasked with objectives. A number of weekly bounties have been removed, and in their place, Bungie has introduced what are called seasonal challenges. These feature a wide array of tasks and will be rolled out in sets for the first 10 weeks of the season. But unlike weekly bounties, you’ll have the duration of the season to complete these challenges once they’re added to the game, so you aren’t penalized for taking a break from the game.

Season Pass Unlocks
While the same armor can be earned in both tiers, premium season pass owners can grab that new gear three times and with higher energy ratings, thus requiring fewer valuable resources to be spent on them.
