The debut trailer of Season 13, Season of the Chosen, already gave us a ton of information as to what we could expect with next season. If you haven’t watched the trailer or read our in-depth article you can find that here.
Like with previous seasons, Bungie has updated their help articles to brace for the new season to come. Here you can find a plethora of new information about iconic pieces of Season of the Chosen.
Hammer of Chosen
To prove their strength in the eyes of the Cabal empress players will need to challenge Caiatl's warriors in the new Battlegrounds activities across the system. Use the Hammer of Proving to forge and socket Challenger Medallions out of pillaged Cabal Gold for the right to take on Caiatl's fiercest commanders in ritual combat. Visit the War Table at the H.E.L.M. to upgrade your Hammer of Proving through three tiers of pursuits that will unlock Hammer upgrades, new Proving Runes, gear drops, and more.
This seems to read like the Hammer of Proving will be very similar to Season of Opulence’s chalice. The Chalice was by far one of the most well received seasonal styles so I would not be surprised if we found a similar system next week.
H.E.L.M. (The Hub for Emergency Logistics and Maneuvers)
The Hub for Emergency Logistics and Maneuvers, or H.E.L.M., is the new base for all current Vanguard operations within the system. From the H.E.L.M. players can interact with the War Table Seasonal vendor, access the Prismatic Recaster, decode Umbral Engrams at the Umbral Decoder, manage their vault, and retrieve items from the Postmaster.
Prismatic Recaster and Umbral Engrams
The Prismatic Recaster and Umbral Decoder return for official Vanguard use. Players can collect Umbral Engrams from various in-game sources, and unlock new Prismatic Lenses to focus the contents of the engrams for specific gear.
It is worth noting that players will need the Season Pass to make use of Prismatic Lenses and Umbral Engrams will not give rewards if simply dismantled.
Season Pass and Challenges
Like previous seasons, this season will also come with a Season Pass awarding rewards for holders up to Level 100. The Season Pass will include access to the Season's story, the Seasonal Activity "Battlegrounds", new gear, and the premium track rewards for Seasonal Ranks.
Max Power Level
In the Season of the Chosen Legendary gear from the Season of The Worthy will reach their Max Power Level. Legendary gear that has reached their Max Power Level can no longer be infused to a higher Power Level. Exotic weapons and armor do not have a Max Power Level.
Gear from the Season of the Chosen will reach their Max Power Level in Season 16. For a list of items that will reach Max Power in Season of the Chosen, or for more information, please visit our Max Power Level article linked below.
Sadly if you are still holding onto a Trophy Hunter, Steelfeather Repeater, Martyr's Retribution or any other excellent weapons from Season of The Dawn those will no longer be viable in next season's end game activities.
