How to Complete a Daily Challenge in Destiny 2

The Daily Challenge is an objective introduced in Iron Banner as part of the “rank up” system – but you’ll likely first encounter it when you complete the Forging Iron quest.

To find the daily challenge in Destiny 2, go to the Director screen, select Crucible, then hover over the Iron Banner node. In the lower half of this explainer will be the “challenges” – this is the daily challenge you must complete.

For example, during Iron Banner’s first week in Season 18, the first daily challenge is “Complete Iron Banner matches as Arc or Stasis subclasses.”

Confusingly, it is written “weekly”. Indeed, there are four Daily Challenges over the course of the week, with one new Daily Challenge rolling out per day – during the Daily Reset on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

You can either complete them as they unlock or save them until Friday, depending on your preference.


The season of plunder has arrived! New additions include the Sails of the Shipstealer quest and Quicksilver Storm. Meanwhile, there’s the arrival of King’s Fall and the Touch of Malice exotic weapon. You can also solve cryptic quatrains. Familiarize yourself with our leveling guide before tackling the Duality dungeon and learn how to collect Calus Bobblehead locations, Calus Automaton locations, and find all Opulent Key chests. For The Witch Queen, find out how to get Exotics including Dead Messenger and Parasite. Late last year, we saw Bungie’s 30th anniversary, which introduced the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, weird rooms, and new Exotics including the Gjallarhorn and Forerunner.


Along with completing the Forging Iron quest step, the benefit of completing the Daily Challenges is that it can increase your rank increase during the event.

If you select Iron Banner and then hover over the Rank Boost node in the bottom right, you can see your current boost based on various things, including the number of daily challenges you’ve completed.

If you really want to rank up during Iron Banner – which is all the more important now that it only spawns two weeks per season – then having as many rank boosts active as possible will be a priority.

Enjoy this year’s Iron Banner!
