The third week of Season of the Risen weekly challenges can be completed in Destiny 2, allowing players to earn another Insight, more Glimmer, and large amounts of XP through some difficult objectives. Despite it only being the third week in Season of the Risen, some of the challenges require players to be ready for the newly released Vow of the Disciple Raid. Additionally, as expected, players will be tasked with continuing the Operation Elbrus story quest as well.

Even in the Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit activities, players can expect the challenges to be a bit more difficult to complete over the next couple of weeks. Similar to past seasons in Destiny 2, players will be pushed towards being ready to complete activities that will better prepare them for endgame modes such as Grandmaster Nightfalls and Trials of Osiris. Though Grandmaster Nightfalls aren't part of the season activities just yet, Trials of Osiris debuts on Friday, March 11 for the first time in Season of the Risen. For now, however, most Guardians who have been consistently active in Season of the Rise shouldn't have a problem completing week three's challenges.

Although there isn't a weekly challenge tied to the Dead Messenger Exotic grenade launch Catalyst, Guardians can now get it by completing the Master difficulty of Vox Obscura. Of course, the first playthrough of the mission has to be completed beforehand, but the Dead Messenger Catalyst is a guaranteed drop after looting the chest at the end of Master Vox Obscura. To unlock the Master difficulty option, head to the H.E.L.M. to grab it from the War Table.
