Destiny 2: Season of the Lost is now live. We’re at the tail end of Beyond Light, which means that the next few months will set the stage for The Witch Queen expansion. For now, we’ll see the return of Mara Sov, as well as a major reveal about an old ally’s true identity. Likewise, Guardians will enter the Shattered Realm and partake in Astral Alignment activities. Here’s our Destiny 2: Season of the Lost guides and features hub to help you with all the new content and activities that you can expect.

Note: Destiny 2: Season of the Lost lasts from August 24, 2021 to February 22, 2022 (when The Witch Queen launches). We’ll continue updating our guides and features hub when additional content drops become available.

 

Destiny 2: Season of the Lost guides and features hub

Cross-play, Bungie Names, and inviting friends – Cross-play has been enabled for all Destiny 2 players now that the Season of the Lost is live. We take a look at how this feature works and how you can add your friends who are playing on other platforms.

Leveling guide (1330 PL) and pinnacle rewards – It’s still a player-friendly grind to hit the cap.

The Wayfinder’s Compass artifact mods – You’ve got new mods to unlock and play with.

The Wayfinder’s Compass HELM upgrades – Nope, this isn’t a joke. The terminal with HELM upgrades also has the same name as the seasonal artifact.

Astral Alignment – The Astral Alignment is a seasonal playlist activity. Your team will need to complete objectives and phases so you can fight a boss in the Blind Well.

Exotic: Lorentz Driver – It’s an exotic linear fusion rifle with a built-in wallhack. How ridiculous is that?

Exotic: Ager Scepter – If you’ve been looking for Atlas Skews, then you’ll get a glimpse of this weapon.
