Like previous seasons, Destiny 2‘s Season of the Seraph features a new activity in the shape of Heist Battlegrounds, which forms a central part of the current storyline. Anyone who has dived into the Battlegrounds playlist will be familiar with the structure of this mode, which tasks three Guardians with a mission to help restore the Golden Age AI Rasputin by obtaining vital data from key points in the Solar system.
Like Season of Plunder’s Expeditions and Season of the Haunted’s Nightmare Containment, this is also designed to be a rewarding experience that will drop plenty of seasonal armor and weapons once the event is over. It has a few interesting wrinkles to the Battlegrounds formula, and if you’re interested in seeing how a run against Xivu Arath’s forces differs in comparison, you can read more below.
It’s worth noting that in the first week of Season 19, Heist Battlegrounds is only focused on obtaining fragments of the submind Malahayati and keeps the action contained on the Moon. There’ll be more locations to visit as Season of the Seraph continues, but for now, the first week of the current season is sticking to the lunar surface.
