With the Ash & Iron major update, Destiny 2 has Guardians completing challenges once more with what appears to be a new season.
Partially continuing what was started in Season: Reclamation, we begin with challenges that are currently on Week 9 moving forward.
Guardians can now continue obtaining rewards for completing challenges provided each week to get rewards to help them progress throughout the rest of the season.
How To Check Seasonal Challenges?
You can view your Seasonal Challenges by holding the “Deploy Ghost” key or button, or by opening your map and going to the “Quests” tab.
From there, select “Season: Reclamation” under Featured Quests to see the Weekly Challenges currently available. (Ash & Iron is an update, so Season: Reclamation is still live)
Each new week brings additional Seasonal Challenges, and you can still access, complete, and claim rewards from earlier weeks even as the season progresses.

How To Claim Challenge Rewards?
Rewards for completing challenges may be obtained by visiting the Seasonal Challenges menu as mentioned above, where you can see your progress with each one.
Once a challenge has been completed, you may select it to claim the rewards associated with it, and these may be different depending on which one you claim.
How To Track Weekly Challenges?
Challenges are easier to complete when you can see them after deploying Ghost, and this can be arranged from the Seasonal Challenges menu.
When looking through the Weekly Challenges, selecting any that remain unfinished will let you track them each time Ghost is deployed.
Verdict
With the Ashes & Iron update, new content and challenges have been introduced, giving you plenty to work on as you progress through the game.
Some challenges may require more effort than others, but you can always set them aside and return later while advancing through quests, missions, and new activities.
Because these challenges are tied to the update, it is best to complete as many as possible each week as new ones are added.
