The story continues in Destiny 2: Season of the Splicer, as the Guardian works alongside Mithrax to pinpoint Quira's location and put a stop to the never-ending night. Week seven of the Season of the Splicer is live in Destiny 2, resetting pinnacle and powerful gear for all players in activities. The story doesn't quite finish up here though, as Path of the Splicer VIII is sure to continue on June 29.
Outside of the main story and rewards reset, new weekly bonuses have been added to Gambit. For a short time, Gambit players will be able to earn up to three times the normal amount of Infamy earned from matches and consecutive wins. It's a bit of a relief to hear this, especially considering one of the seven new weekly challenges will require players to spend some serious time in Gambit.
Every Week 7 Challenge in Destiny 2: Season of the Splicer
Week seven begins with Path of the Splicer VII in a challenge called The Dark Network. Players will have to complete Path of the Splicer VII, as well as defeat a specific percentage of Champions anywhere in the system. Champions defeated in Override or Expunge are worth more towards completion. This quest is obtained by visiting the H.E.L.M. and speaking with Mithrax via the terminal.
