Season of the Deep has returned, and with it, a fresh batch of weekly chores—er, challenges—that promise a mountain of XP and enough Bright Dust to make Tess Everis jealous. Week 4 doesn’t pull any punches, throwing Guardians into the depths of Gambit, high-tier Nightfalls, and a dizzying array of weapon-specific kill quotas. But fear not, this guide will walk you through all nine challenges with a wink and a nudge, ensuring you can grab those rewards and maybe even have a little fun along the way.

Into The Depths IV 🐉

The seasonal storyline trundles on, and step four demands a little jaunt to Savathun's Throne World—because apparently, the H.E.L.M. just wasn't scenic enough. Completing "Into the Depths IV" is as simple as following the quest marker: run a Deep Dive, chat up the NPCs back at base, and poke the Holoprojector. If you get lost, just remember that the quest log isn't your enemy, it's your sarcastic tour guide.

Front Line Salvager IV 🟣

Time to embrace your inner Void enthusiast. Grab any Void subclass and complete three runs of Salvage or Deep Dive—easy peasy. The twist? You also need to squash 50 Hive foes, which usually happens naturally in those activities. If the RNG gods spite you and you fall short, a quick trip to the Moon or Savathun's Throne World will top off the counter. Just don't forget to switch to Void before the mission ends; the game cares more about appearances than intentions.

Deep Diver 🌊

Six Deep Dive encounter completions are required, but sneaky Pressure Trials grant double progress. That means a single flawless run with all Toland Orbs activated can knock this out. Spotting those glowing orbs is half the battle—they love to hide in corners like introverted Exos. Coordination is key; every fireteam member must interact with an orb to trigger the trial. Think of it as a trust exercise, but with more explosions.

Commendable Salvager 🏅

The commends system gets its moment in the spotlight. You need to give or receive six commendations in Salvage. A single run with a full lobby of generous clickers can complete it instantly. If your teammates forget to spread the love, just queue again and spam that commend button. Pro tip: a well-timed dance emote before the end screen often loosens wallets—or in this case, commendation screens.

Mod Collector 🛠️

Unlocking 12 Artifact mods sounds daunting, but it's really just a byproduct of playing the game. Every tick of XP anywhere in the system counts, so raids, strikes, even patrol—it all feeds the Artifact. Once you've lit up a dozen perks, open the Artifact grid and claim your prizes. For a leg up on this season's must-have mods, check out any Repulsion Regulator breakdowns (spoiler: it makes you tanky).

Momentum Crash 💥

When Momentum Control rolls into the Crucible, it's time to embrace chaos. Weapons hit like freight trains, abilities recharge at a glacial pace, and Scout Rifles become instruments of pure deletion. Farm 50 Guardian kills—bonus progress if your team holds zone advantage—and you're done. Jade Rabbit, Dead Man's Tale, or a bow like Le Monarque will serve you well. Just remember: everyone else is a glass cannon too, so shoot first and teabag later.

Sound of Metal 🎸

This is the big one. Gambit demands you kill 100 enemies each with Auto Rifles, Hand Cannons, and Scout Rifles—all within the playlist. Yes, only Gambit counts, so embrace the Drifter's cackling. Exotic picks shine here: Quicksilver Storm mows down waves with Auto Rifle ease, Sunshot or Ace of Spades handle Hand Cannon duties, and Dead Man's Tale or Symmetry cover Scouts. Pair these with a good invading set if you're feeling spicy; Guardian kills give bonus progress, after all.

Darkest Nightfall 🌙

Three Hero-difficulty Nightfalls and the challenge bows before you. The matchmaking on Hero makes it the path of least resistance, though higher difficulties speed things up. If you've got a fireteam with itchy trigger fingers, Master or Grandmaster runs double as great loot sources. Whatever you choose, coordinate elements and champion mods, and you'll be back to the Tower before Cayde's ghost can crack a joke.

Precision Calibration 🎯

Land 200 precision final blows with Scout Rifles, Sniper Rifles, or Linear Fusion Rifles. In PvE, Scout Rifles are the undisputed king of head-popping convenience. Grab Dead Man's Tale, Polaris Lance, or any Scout with Dragonfly/Firefly and head to the Shuro Chi encounter in Last Wish (use the Wish Wall) for an AFK farm. No Forsaken? The Grasp of Avarice loot cave or any Throne World Lost Sector works fine. Guardian kills grant bonus progress, but that's just bragging rights.

There you have it—nine challenges that range from "wait, that's it?" to "why do I hear boss music?" Week 4 of Season of the Deep is a rollercoaster, but with this guide, you'll be vacuuming up that sweet XP and Bright Dust in no time. Now get out there, Guardian, and maybe throw a commendation or two while you're at it.
