Is past seasonal story content still playable?

[Richard]

I stopped playing Destiny 2 years ago. Just enjoyed some BYF recap videos on past seasons. I know some of the previous content was vaulted but is the week to week story content still in the game if i bought all the DLC back to Forsaken? Or is the seasonal content gone when the season is over and just the expansion content remain? Thanks in advance.

The seasonal content from Shadowkeep and Beyond Light are gone. Shadowkeep's seasonal stories/activities disappeared the moment that season ended, while Beyond Light's seasonal content all remained available until the full game year finished.

Witch Queen's seasons follow the latter pattern. Season of the Risen's content is still available - the seasonal storyline and activities, etc, even though we are within Season of the Haunted now. The two major things to keep in mind are, 1) last season's artifact, the Synaptic Spear, has been replaced by this season's, the Nightmare Harvester, and 2) the 100-level reward track from Season of the Risen can't be progressed now that season has ended so you would not get a chance to earn any unearned rewards on that.

So if i bought Beyond Light (it's on sale), the only story content i would get is the Main Quest Line?

Assume that most prior content will be unplayable sooner or later in this game. Especially the seasonal stories.

There is a legacy version of the Synaptic Spear that can be used to complete the Lucent Hive Battle Grounds. You can collect it from the War Table in H.E.L.M.

It doesn't give you any seasonal mods.

Some of the seasonal content from last year is still in the game (Battlegrounds alongside the strike which ends the seasonal story) but the cutscenes and weekly dialogue are gone

My friend is at the war table and can not buy the equipment because it is still from the last season.. (S16) Why ? And how do we get those items ? Thanx

[Nakos]

You need Risen Umbral Energy for that. Which you're supposed to be getting from the chest at the end of a Battle Grounds mission.

Pretty sure you need to do the Playlist version you launch via the icon in the H.E.L.M. (but I could be wrong about that).

Thanx, we will try, and I will let you know !
