Ticuu's Divination

Ticuu's Divination is a new Exotic bow as part of Season of the Chosen. It's a fun addition to the game, firing auto-tracking shots at multiple targets when fired from the hip, while aiming down the sights allows you to detonate targets you've marked. Season pass owners get it for free right at Rank 1, but even free players can get their hands on it by leveling up the season pass to Rank 35. Once you've got it, you can word toward getting the Exotic catalyst or the Ticuu's Divination ornament that awaits at the end of the season pass.

Salvager's Salvo

Another new weapon this season is Salvager's Salvo, an Energy-slot grenade launcher. Unlike Ticcu's Divination, don't expect a route to getting your hands on it quickly: Unlocking it involves completing the Messy Business quest, which is intended to be the sort of thing you work on over the course of the season. That doesn't mean you can't speed the process along, however, so be sure to check out our guide for tips on how to approach the quest.

Battlegrounds, HELM, Hammer of Proving, And Umbral Engrams

HELM serves as your new base of operations for Season of the Chosen, housing many of the Tower's key functions (like Vault access and a postmaster) and quest givers. It's also where you'll make use of Umbral Engrams, which make a return from the past as a means of letting you have control over the types of gear you receive. There's also the Hammer of Proving, which serves as a key component in taking part in Battlegrounds, a new core activity for this season where you'll challenge Cabal enemies.

Empress Caiatl

As teased in a trailer ahead of the new season, the major villain this time around is the Cabal Empress Caiatl. You might not recognize that name, but she's the daughter of the fun-loving Calus and the one who assumed control of the Cabal after you dealt with Ghaul in the vanilla Destiny 2 campaign. There's a lot more to know about her, so if you're interested in having a better grasp on Season of the Chosen's narrative, check out our lore recap.

Seasonal Challenges

Among the changes in Season of the Chosen is how you're tasked with objectives. A number of weekly bounties have been removed, and in their place, Bungie has introduced what are called seasonal challenges. These feature a wide array of tasks and will be rolled out in sets for the first 10 weeks of the season. But unlike weekly bounties, you'll have the duration of the season to complete these challenges once they're added to the game, so you aren't penalized for taking a break from the game.
