How to Unlock Destiny 2 Season 18 Artifact Mods Fast

If Season 18 is anything like previous years, there are a few different methods you can use to increase XP gains and earn these mods faster.

Equip an XP mod

Equipping your Ghost with XP Mods can earn you an additional 10% on top of all XP earned.

Complete bounties and challenges

Destiny 2’s vendors offer changing bounties each day, so head to the Tower and stock up on supplies. Each gives a portion of the XP, and if you give a few at a time your XP will skyrocket.

There are also seasonal challenges. These roll out weekly along with the reset, and offer huge XP bonuses as well as occasional weapon and Bright Dust increments.

Play regularly

With each reset, Guardians will receive a buff called “rested” which will earn additional XP for the first five tiers you earn each week. This will help players who log in regularly to unlock more Artifact mods.

So there you have it – that’s all you need to know about the Destiny 2 Season 18 Artifact Mods. For more information on Destiny 2, check out some of our other guides over at Dexerto.
