Destiny 2: What's in the new artifact of Season 10

In Destiny 2, the Warmind assists you with a powerful artifact. Find out what mods Rasputin’s sword has and how to get the seasonal item.

What are artifacts? Each new season brings a new thematic artifact. This artifact is available to every Destiny player, so it is not tied to the season pass.

With the artifact, your Guardian becomes stronger and can face the challenges of the new season more effectively. At the end of the season, the artifact disappears along with all its mods and bonuses. Season 10 will end on June 9.

This is what the new artifact looks like

Warmind’s Child’s Chalice as an artifact in Destiny 2

This is how the new artifact works: In Season 10, the artifact is called “Warmind’s Child’s Chalice.” Visually, it is inspired by a sword and adorned with Warmind ornaments.

Through XP, the artifact levels up almost passively and gives you access to very powerful mods through rank-ups, allowing you to customize and individualize your Guardian.

Additionally, the seasonal artifact allows you to level up beyond the actual maximum power level. In the Season of Worthy, the artifact is the only way to surpass the cap of 1010 power.

You can check the status of the seasonal artifact in your inventory at any time. From here, you can also access the mod selection. Each new artifact level requires more XP than the previous one.

The artifact mods from the Season of Worthy

What you should know about artifact mods: The artifact offers a total of 25 different mods at 5 tiers. You can unlock up to 12 of them simultaneously. The selection can be reset at any time should the situation require it or if you want to try something new. However, a reset costs you Glimmer and becomes more expensive each time.

In each tier, there are 5 mods that become more powerful with increasing tier. To unlock the next tier of mods, you must have already unlocked a certain number of mods in previous tiers.

Tier 1 mods (no artifact mods required): These mods are essential against the Champions from the Firetrial. In Season 10, there is even a new, tougher difficulty added to the specific Nightfall version.

Overload Rounds (Hand Cannon and Sidearms): Consecutive hits on enemies cause disruption, delaying ability energy regeneration and reducing damage dealt to enemies. Strong against Overload Champions.

Tier 2 mods (one artifact mod required): The mods at tier 2 improve your handling of various firearms. All mods are used in your armor and are considerably cheaper than regular enhanced mods.

In Season 10, the focus is on melee combat, particularly auto rifles receive strong support.
