Obtaining the Seasonal Artifact in Lightfall is actually fairly easy once you understand how it works. For the Ascendant Scepter, all you need to do is complete the introductory seasonal quest in the game, and then speak to an NPC in order to fully claim it for your Guardian. This means that you can quickly get the weapon and begin mastering it in Destiny 2. The Ascendant Scepter is a powerful weapon which has twenty different perks, divided into 5 columns.

Do You Need the Season Pass or Recent Expansion for the Ascendant Scepter?

Fortunately for free-to-play gamers, the Ascendant Scepter does not require you to purchase anything beyond the base game itself. This is because introductory quests are all free-to-play, and thus there is no need to buy the Season Pass or anything else in Destiny 2. While this is great news for many, purchasing the Season Pass is also a great way to boost your progress in the game, so don’t rule it out completely!
