Destiny 2: All Episode Echoes Seasonal Challenges

After the fall of the Witness, Nessus began to shift from an impact caused by the foe’s downfall. However, because of this, the Vex responded in a rather hostile way, leading us to Episode: Echoes, Destiny 2‘s first Episode. Throughout the Episode, there are 15 weeks worth of challenges to complete that will help you on your way to uncover the truth beneath the strange happenings on Nessus.
