Want to know what the Destiny 2 Pantheon Challenge is all about? Then we've got you covered.
Bungie is hard at work trying to keep the player base enthusiastic ahead of The Final Shape, releasing a free DLC that will keep them grinding for the next couple of months, Into the Light.
The DLC, which is completely free, will feature a brand-new mode called the Pantheon Challenge. It won't be for the faint of hard as it's a raid boss rush mode, that will grant players amazing rewards.
Bungie has given us some information about it, with more coming via datamined content. So let's break down everything we know about the Pantheon Challenge in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 Pantheon Challenge start date
According to the official Into the Light roadmap, the Pantheon Challenge will kick off on April 30.
It won't stick around for long, as the challenge will leave on June 4, when The Final Shape releases.
Pantheon Challenge bosses and release schedule
The following information was datamined by harryy2533. The Pantheon Challenge will have four difficulties, each being harder in terms of Power Level and the amount of bosses you'll have to face.
It won't have a set difficulty, but rather it will automatically adjust a set amount of PL above your current level. These are all the difficulties and when they're releasing:
The Pantheon: Atraks Sovereign (+5 PL): April 30
- Golgoroth (King’s Fall third encounter)
- The Caretaker (Vow of the Disciple second encounter)

Pantheon Challenge weapons
Again, courtesy of dataminer harry2533, we have a list of exotic and legendary weapons that will be up for grabs. Players will allegedly have the option to select from one of five exotics.
Plus, there's a datamined quest called Divine Weaponry that might play into how players can get their hands on these weapons. As soon as we get more concrete information, we'll update this section.
Bungie did confirm that the higher tier of Pantheon Challenges will have better rewards, including Adept raid weapons, Deepsight versions of raid weapons, and even the aforementioned exotic weapons.
These are the weapons you can expect to see:
