Week 2 of Lightfall has already come to an end with week 1 focused on providing more reasons to start testing new Strand abilities across the solar system.
This week we are collecting two War Table Upgrades. The first upgrade can be obtained by completing the latest chapter of the We Stand Unbroken quest. If you have Queensguard armor equipped, you can quickly get a second upgrade by generating Favors in Seasonal Activities.
Weapons should be equipped with close-range options. This week, you can use sidearms, swords, glaives, shotguns, and submachine guns to complete your objectives. Using these in the Cosmodrome doubles the rewards he earns. If you’re brave enough, tackling Lost-his sector on Legend difficulty will reward you with more Challenger XP and Bright-his dust. Also challenging Hive with playlist activities is another season goal that can easily be achieved. Bile, Lightblade, and Disgraced birthplaces are excellent strikes for farming regular tough hives.
At Neomna, a prize awaits if you can find some action figures. In PvP, Mayhem is back on the menu. With the new Strand Supers, you can reach this goal in just a few rounds.
Usually you have to complete a season goal of about 10 weeks. Achieving these goals is well worth the time and effort as they provide great rewards. Additional XP and Bright Dust currency are typically provided weekly. Certain challenges also give you War Table upgrades. This will unlock additional perks that can be used throughout the season on HELM’s war table.
For more information as Destiny 2 enters a new year, check out our Lightfall guide, take a sneak peek at upcoming raids, and see what wild things players are doing with their Strand subclass.

1st week
Righteous Defiance, Awaken, Queensguard, and Legion’s Bounty are the challenges you’ll want to get first, primarily focused on the new Defiant Battlegrounds seasonal activities and first week story missions.
The rest of this week’s challenges are designed to help you familiarize yourself with the new Lightfall experience. You can easily earn Challenger XP and Bright Dust by exploring Neomuna. Equip your Guardian with Pulse Rifles, Bows, and Trace Rifles, and experience everything the new location has to offer through Lost Sectors, patrols, and events.
For Anti-Cabal Sweep, the best strikes to run include Arms Dealer, The Insight Terminus, and Proving Grounds. Because these activities are full of space rhino enemies. On the PvP side, Rift is played, and spending some time in that mode also rewards you with XP and Bright Dust. It’s usually a limited-time event, so you’ll either have to play it while it’s available, or wait a few weeks for it to return to your playlist.
