Vendor upgrades are also making their return in the Destiny 2 Season of the Wish, which veteran players will surely be familiar with by now. However, Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrades work a little differently than those in past seasons. In fact, in this case, the game gives you the opportunity to unlock each vendor upgrade immediately by completing seasonal challenges. In this article, therefore, we will explain in detail how to obtain the Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrades.
How Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrades work
Long-time players will immediately find the system familiar as Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrades work in this season that has just begun. In fact, although it works differently from the one just finished, it is not a completely new system. In this case, if you have been a player of the game for some time, you will surely remember that the same system was adopted in Season of the Deep.
In fact, instead of the traditional 3×7 grid, there is a set of seasonal challenges that you will have to complete. Furthermore, you should know that you do not have any limitations regarding time, so you can also decide to unlock all vendor upgrades at the beginning of the season. It depends on you. Below, therefore, are all nine Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrades that you can unlock and how to get them.
Wishful Armor Focusing
Wishful Armor Focusing becomes accessible when you obtain an entire set of Season of the Wish armor. These gear pieces can be obtained through runs in Riven's Lair, looting The Coil chests, and progressing through the Season Pass reward track. Keep participating in Riven's Lair activities until you have collected the entire set. Or, alternatively, you can exchange Wish Engrams with Riven at the H.E.L.M. for an opportunity to obtain any missing armor pieces.
Upon successfully completing this challenge, you gain the capability to focus on high-stat armor using Wish Engrams. To trigger high-stat spikes, you need to select an individual armor piece. This feature is comparable to the Defiant, Deep, and Witch focusing alternatives. Given that this season's artifact offers perks that synergize with Wish armor, emphasizing armor focus becomes particularly crucial during this season.
Wishful Weapon Focusing
Unlocking weapon focus necessitates earning six weapons either from Riven's Spire or The Coil. These activities yield both the new Wish weapons for this season and the Season of Undying retributions, and both types of weapons contribute to completing this challenge. Once you have acquired six guns, you gain the capability to concentrate your Wish Engrams on specific seasonal weapons. While obtaining all the new weapons for this season still requires engagement in Riven's Lair, this option allows you to selectively target-farm a specific firearm.
Wishcrafting
To complete this Destiny 2 Season of the Wish challenge, you must successfully vanquish a total of eight bosses within Riven's Lair or The Coil. Employing Wishcrafting ensures that the initial Wish weapon you focus on will feature a red border, contributing to the advancement of its crafting pattern. To forge the weapon independently, you'll need a total of five crafting patterns. Consequently, it will take a maximum of five weeks to acquire a crafting pattern of your choice.
Solcrafting
In Destiny 2, embarking on the journey of Solcrafting involves dispatching 150 Vex adversaries using the exclusive arsenal of Season of Undying weaponry. This challenge centers around four specific weapons—Adhortative, Imperative, Subjunctive, and Optative—all obtainable from intense encounters within Riven's Lair and The Coil. Upon successfully vanquishing the required number of Vex foes, a distinctive perk kicks in: the initial Undying weapon you focus on each week will showcase a striking red border. This distinctive feature not only sets it apart but also signifies your steady advancement towards unraveling the intricate, Undying crafting patterns.
Wishful Generosity
To conquer the Wishful Generosity Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrade, hit Rank 10 with Riven at the H.E.L.M. Rack up Riven Reputation by finishing Riven's Lair runs, tackling Coil encounters, and rocking the Blind Well in the Dreaming City. Quick tip: focus on The Coil for speedy progress since its hidden chests give a nice reputation boost. Finish this challenge, and you score an extra Wish Engram each time you earn one. And here's the sweet deal: it's not just in Riven's Lair or The Coil; it goes for any activity where those sought-after Wish Engrams pop up.
Wishful Keys
Grabbing Lair Keys is a breeze; just wrap up some regular activities, open the sneaky chests in The Coil, and hit specific ranks in the Season Pass. What is your goal? Pop open eight Lair Key chests to ace this challenge. A Lair Key is like a secret sauce; toss it in at the end of your Riven's Lair or Coil adventure, and your rewards level up. Use eight keys, and you unlock even more goodies from these Lair Keys. Plus, every time you use a Lair Key, there's a chance it drops an extra Wish Engram. It might seem small, but folks going all out in Coil farming can roll in loads of bonus Engrams once this upgrade is in play.
Keycrafting
As you venture through Coil runs to get this Destiny 2 Season of the Wish vendor upgrade, scoop up those Whispering Glass Shards; they're like the scorecard for your fireteam. The more shards in your pocket, the fancier your rank becomes when the Coil escapade wraps up. Now, if you're eyeing Keycrafting, aim for a Silver score by the end of a Coil match. Once you've conquered the mission, here's the magic: your first Lair Key chest every week rolls out the red carpet, dropping a weapon decked out with a sleek red border. Crafting patterns for this season becomes a breeze, especially if you're in the game each week.
Well Wishes
Powering up with the mightiest Charge of Light in the Blind Well takes you straight into T3 action. Beat the final boss, and you've got a shot at popping in an Unstable Charge of Light, kicking off a T4 showdown. Knock out that T4 Blind Well boss, and you've conquered the Well Wishes challenge. Now, when you hit your first T3 Blind Well run each week, you're in for a seasonal gear galore. Since this happens once a week, it's a bit tricky to suggest gunning for this upgrade right out of the gate. Save it up for when the seasonal quest is calling for those Blind Well triumphs.
Your Wishes, My Commands
