Season Pass, Ranks, Artifacts and Mods – Bungie Help

What is a Season Pass?

Season Passes give players access to new content within a Destiny 2 Season. Throughout a Season, players will gain access to a new story, tackle new challenges, complete new activities, and unlock new gear.

In each Year of Destiny 2, some seasonal content will persist beyond its Season if players own that Season’s Season Pass. Players who don’t own that Season’s Season Pass and would like to access this content must purchase or upgrade to the latest Destiny 2 Digital Deluxe Edition. This content will be available until the current Year ends.

Included in a Season Pass are Premium Track rewards for Seasonal Ranks which give players access to rewards earlier than the Free Track, with some rewards being exclusive to the Premium Track. More information about Season Pass Ranks can be found below.

A player's Season Pass and its progression will be able to travel with a player via Cross Save. Players should enable Cross Save before applying the Season Pass to their account if they plan to play on multiple platforms or have multiple platform accounts.

Purchasing or Acquiring a Season Pass

Each Season Pass costs 1000 Silver and can be purchased during a specific Season. A Season Pass for a specific season can’t be purchased after that Season ends unless players purchase or upgrade to the latest Destiny 2 Digital Deluxe Edition.

PLEASE NOTE!

Logging into Destiny 2 on any platform will instantly unlock Season Passes acquired from a Destiny 2 expansion bundle, even if no characters have been created on that platform or account yet.

If players want to use Cross Save, it should be fully activated before logging into Destiny 2 on a platform where Season Passes were purchased from an expansion bundle, otherwise, those Season Passes may become lost.

Seasonal Ranks

Seasonal Ranks are available to all players and allow them to unlock rewards by playing Destiny 2 and earning XP. Each rank (up to 100) requires a certain amount of XP to unlock.

There are two tracks of a Seasonal Rank: Free and Premium. The Free track is available to all players regardless of what Destiny 2 content they own, whereas the Premium track is only available to players who own the current Season Pass. The Premium Track gives players access to rewards earlier than the Free Track, with some rewards being exclusive to the Premium Track.

Once a season ends, the ranks will reset, and players will be able to earn new rewards from the tracks for the next Season. Seasonal Ranks for previous Seasons are not available to players who purchase or access previous Seasons during the current Year.

Artifacts and Mods

Artifacts are available to all players and allow new ways to customize Guardian builds every Season by unlocking Seasons mods to insert in armor. Earning XP will level up the Seasonal Artifact, letting players unlock the mods in a tier until more tiers are unlocked.

Seasonal armor mods are used to elevate reload speeds, ability regen, and more, to higher levels. Starting in Season 12, armor will have a mod slot that accepts mods introduced into the game throughout a full Year.

While leveling up and unlocking mods, players will also increase the Power of the Artifact, which will continue increasing until the end of the Season. Artifact Power adds directly to a player's overall Power and is unlocked account-wide.

Seasonal Artifacts and Seasonal mods will go away at the end of the Season they were introduced in, but mods will eventually be added back into the game.

Vital Information and Troubleshooting

INSTANT UNLOCK

Logging into Destiny 2 on any platform will instantly unlock Season Passes acquired from a Destiny 2 expansion bundle, even if no characters have been created on that platform or account yet.

Cross Save should be fully activated before logging into Destiny 2 on a platform where Season Passes were purchased from an expansion bundle, otherwise, those Season Passes may become lost.

GAME SHARING

Season Pass Premium Track unlocks and rewards cannot be game shared and every player must purchase a Season Pass on their account to access that Season's seasonal content. Game sharing is a platform feature and is not officially supported by Bungie.

TWO SEASONS TO CLAIM EARNED REWARDS

Players have two Seasons to claim earned Premium Track ranks rewards from a Season Pass, including the Season it was active in where XP unlocked the rank. After a Season ends, players can claim the earned rewards found in that Season Pass on their Previous and Current Season Pass page. Players may need to click their platform ID and then click the platform ID again for it to load the page correctly. This page can also be found on the Destiny Companion App.

Players need to have earned the corresponding Season Pass rank when the Season was active to collect previous Premium Track Season Pass rewards. Any earned Season Pass rewards older than two Seasons are unavailable to collect. Bungie does not grant previous uncollected Season Pass items. Players should ensure that they collect all available rewards prior to the Season Pass becoming unavailable to access.

Additionally, Bungie does not offer refunds or grants for lost Bright Engrams earned from the Season Pass.

SEASON PASSES FROM OLD BUNDLE PURCHASES

Season Passes will not unlock for players who purchase a bundle that doesn't contain the newest expansion. The current Year of Destiny 2 is what the newest expansion includes.
