The first week of Destiny 2's Season of the Deep has commenced, and like previous seasons, there are new Seasonal Challenges to tackle. These are optional but rewarding challenges that you can tackle which will earn you Bright Dust that can be spent on cosmetics and experience points that can help you level up the season pass more quickly.

One of the other changes this season is focused on how seasonal bonuses are earned. Previous seasons would give you a chance to earn a rare resource each week which could then be redeemed at a vendor for a specific seasonal bonus, but Season 21 is changing up that approach. Instead, you'll have a selection of Season of the Deep-specific challenges that you can complete. Once you've completed one of these challenges, you'll automatically unlock a perk for your Guardian.

These perks are familiar to the ones that were available in previous seasons, as you'll be able to earn high-stat armor pieces, extra Deep engrams, and increased vendor reputation. You won't be able to accomplish all of them in one go, but you will be able to work through them at your leisure during Season of the Deep.

In terms of the standard Week 1 challenges, the focus is on getting to grips with the new Salvage seasonal activity and completing the first chapter in the Into the Depths storyline. A few rounds in Salvage will help you complete the Front Line Salvager and Successful Salvager objectives quickly, and for extra experience points, don't forget to stock up on bounties from the command table in the HELM.

Once you're done with those activities, you can knock out more tasks in the EDZ. Head to that location, cycle through public events and lost sectors, equip close-range weapons, and you'll be able to quickly finish up the EDZ Activities, The Fallen Fall, and Close-Range Calibration objectives.

Lastly, you can head to the Crucible to take part in the time-limited Rift multiplayer mode. This will only be available until next week's reset, so finish this quickly and move on to Gambit next. Make good use of a weapon in your primary slot--specifically auto rifles, hand cannons, and scout rifles--and take on as many enemies as you can.

For more on Destiny 2, you can check out the very long patch notes that came with the start of this new season.
