Destiny 2 Season of the Risen Artifact - All mods

Destiny 2's latest chapter is finally here with The Witch Queen DLC. Alongside the highly anticipated debut of Savathun as the game's antagonist, Season of the Risen has also kicked off. 

Bringing a new season pass to grind, activities and quests to complete, Season of the Risen on its own packs a big punch for Guardians to complete throughout the next three months. 

As always, with the release of a new season, a shiny artifact follows. If you're new to Destiny 2, the artifact is a tool that, upon grinding and earning XP, will get you mods that you can use to boost stats, help create builds, and most importantly, take down Champions.

Furthermore, upgrading the artifact will grant extra Power on top of the base stats your current gear boasts, making a great way to keep improving beyond the hard cap.

Previously, players had to be careful when selecting which mods they'd wanted to unlock as you could only get a limited amount of them. Starting with Season 16, you'll be able to unlock every single one, making the grind more about efficiency rather than just trying to get the best ones. 

We've rambled long enough, time to take a look at the Season 16 artifact mods. 

Destiny 2 Season of the Risen mods 

The artifact this time around is the Synaptic Spear. Lore wise, the Spear serves as a Light-suppressing item similar to Ghaul's cage during The Red War. It'll definitely come in handy when dealing with the Lucent Brood, Savathun's Light-induced Hive army.

Enough about lore, let's get down to business, these are all the mods available through the Season of the Risen artifact.
