The release ofDestiny 2’sEdge of Fate expansion has brought some major systemic changes to the core game. Nearly all activities are accessed through the new Portal UI, and the reward structure of most content has seen some major revision. One such reward source is Pathfinder, a previous system that allowed players to complete account-bound triumphs that award major chunks of XP and Bright Dust.
This has been replaced with a new seasonal hub that gets updated on a weekly basis. If you’re looking to level the battle pass or boost your Portal rewards, you’ll want to get comfortable with this menu. In this guide, we cover how the seasonal hub works in The Edge of Fate and give a quick breakdown of its reward track.
What Is The Seasonal Hub?
The seasonal hub is a new progression system that has replaced the Pathfinder system.When you boot up the Portal, select the “Seasonal Hub” tab on the right of the UI to bring up the reward track.This is effectively a free battle pass that resets every week, awarding you with Powerful Engrams, redeemable loot tokens, and upgrade materials.
Progressing The Seasonal Hub
Your seasonal hub track is progressed by completingDaily and Weekly Challenges.If you played during the Heavy Metal event in Heresy, it’s the exact same process. Each day, three new Daily Challenges will be made available in this menu. Completing them will award XP, Bright Dust, a bonus drop in a Portal playlist, andWeekly Rank.
Each challenge you complete will contribute towards your Weekly Rank, which can go up to 20. Daily Challenges award roughly one rank; Weekly Challenges award three to four ranks. This rank determines how far into the seasonal hub you are and how many rewards you can claim, similar to how the battle pass works.
Daily Challenges
Daily Challenges consist of three objectives that can be easily completed through normal gameplay. These are effectively bounties that are tracked across your account.Completing a daily challenge awards a Weekly Rank, a small chunk of XP, Bright Dust, and awards a bonus drop to arandom Portal playlist—the affected playlist will be noted when you claim the challenge.
Weekly Challenges
Each week, five challenges will be added that will last for seven days. The challenge requirements are significantly higher than a typical Daily Challenge. But if you manage to complete one, you’ll earnmultiple Weekly Ranks, multiple battle pass ranks, and a massive chunk of XP.These challenges are always worth doing if you have time.
Seasonal Hub Rewards
Turning in your challenges will progress a battle pass of sorts that resets weekly. You donotneed to own the current season or any DLC to access this reward track; it’s free for everyone. Here is a rundown of the rewards you can expect from each rank.
