3 months is the duration for each season.

Season ends in 43 days 12 hours, you can check it in game by going to the season tab. there are 4 seasons in a year so figure each lasts 3 months.

In other words, buy the pass at the beginning of the season or you are throwing your money away.

Or just play the game for a few days and do bounties and you're fine. I got my pass done in like 2-3 weeks of just average play and doing bounties. Granted some of that was the holiday xp bounties.

Yes...yes they do. Each season normally brings new season themed quests, exotics, armor ETC keep in mind that everything you earn in a season sticks with ya, so you dont need to worry about losing gear when the season ends.

yes they do that

I got the pass when I bought the DLCs during the discount this week and it only took me 2 days to do the story of the season and get the story exotic (Bastion fusion rifle). That was also with intermingling it with iron banner and other exotic quests (started all the forsaken + shadowkeep exotic quests I could). If you were dedicated to getting it done, you could probably go through the season story missions in 1 day. It took longer for people with the pass from the start because portions were time gated to release dates.

There's still a lot for me to do with sundial and weapon roll farming though. Including the other season exotic quest (Devil's Ruin sidearm) which is even faster than the Bastion one.

is this still Avaliable ?? the Pass with the DLC ?

I doubt you can get to Pass Lvl 100 in less than 2 weeks. Even 2 weeks you have to play an unhealthy amount.

The store page still lists Season of Dawn as part of the shadowkeep DLC even when in the bundle so yes it should still be available. The discount should still be in effect too.

I don't think OP is a new player. You don't have to re-level the season if you buy the pass mid-season. I was maxed over 100 when I got the DLCs + pass and was instantly given all 100 levels of the pass rewards.

Even starting at level zero you'd still have near a month and a half to level up before season end.

I did 50 levels in a week while Eva was around. Her double XP bounties were nuts...

I doubt that’s possible without grinding to the point that the game isn’t even fun now though.

He is talking of *buying* the season pass, not earning XP for the season.

The price of the season pass is the same regardless of when you buy it, but still ends at the end of the season.

It is stupid to buy something that is half used. Would you pay the price of a full bottle of wine if all you get is 1/2 bottle? Of course not! (Unless you are an alcoholic desperate for your next drink) Same thing with the season pass.

A couple of clarifications to the answers posted earlier:

1) There are several aspects of the season pass:

- Accelerated rewards from playing, earned as you get XP up to level 100. These will happen as you play. Depending on how much you play you might reach 100 and get all of the associated gear. Or you might not.

- Quests and activities: Many are time limited. The dawning has come and gone, so is Corridors of Time or maybe you still have 1.5 days (not sure). Others activities are ongoing like the Sundial.

2) There are three ways to get the season pass: You get what remains of the current one included with the Shadowkeep DLC. You get I think the current plus 3 season passes if you buy the (is it called Deluxe?) version of Shadowkeep. Or you can buy 1000 silver and get the season pass in game.

Regardless of how you get the season pass, you are always better off buying it at the beginning of the season.

3) since you are asking this question I assume you don't yet have the DLCs. Be aware that the season pass does not include the DLCs. You buy those separately.

Also, due to inventory limitations it is always best to first play all the free content to near completion (there is a lot of it) , then buy Forsaken (by far the best DLC, and preserves the story in order), then Shadowkeep.

But it takes half way through the season to get all of the content its not like they miss anything in that first month anyway. There is plenty of value in getting the season pass half way through, most people get bored of it within a week anyway.
