Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph: Week 5 More Than a Weapon Walkthrough

Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph Week 5 More Than a Weapon guide: Speak to Rasputin, complete Heist, spend 500 Seraph Key Codes to unlock Seraph Chest.

Okay, Guardians, let’s talk about Week 5 of Season of the Seraph. I’ll be honest—this one is pretty short, which feels like a nice little holiday gift from Bungie. If you’re revisiting this quest line in 2026 or just want to knock out the story beats, here’s exactly how I got through the More Than a Weapon quest this week. There’s a newly restored Rasputin sitting in the H.E.L.M., and he’s got that classic Warmind energy: a little cryptic, a lot powerful, and still hungry for data.

I’m not gonna lie, the flow this week is very much “go here, listen, go there, listen,” so you can absolutely breeze through it in one sitting. Let’s dig in.

Speak To Rasputin At The Exo Frame In The H.E.L.M.

First stop is the H.E.L.M., where Rasputin is waiting at the Exo Frame. He tells you straight up that he still needs more data before he can retake control of the Warsats. That means it’s time to head back into those Submind Vaults, Guardians. He also drops a useful little bonus: new Infiltrator Gear that you can select to help with Seraph Shield missions. Honestly, if you’ve been sleeping on that gear, now’s the time to grab it.

Listen To Osiris At The Holoprojector

Before you head off on the Heist, swing by the Holoprojector. Osiris has a discovery to share with you. I won’t spoil the details, but if you’re into the lore, this is one of those moments that adds a little extra weight to the season. The Holoprojector messages are quick, so don’t skip them—they also progress quest steps cleanly.

Spend Seraph Key Codes To Unlock A Seraph Chest

Here’s where the actual gameplay kicks in. You know the drill by now: hop into the Heist: Battlegrounds playlist and complete a mission. At the end, make sure you’ve got 500 Seraph Key Codes saved up, because you’ll need them to unlock that extra Seraph Chest. Let’s be real—nobody wants to finish a Heist and realize they’re short on Key Codes, so double-check before you launch.

A couple of quick reminders:

• These missions are set 5 levels above your Light Level, so don’t stroll in underleveled.

• Bring Anti-Unstoppable and Anti-Barrier Champion Mods. The enemies won’t wait for you to sort your loadout mid-fight.

If you need Key Codes, running playlist activities and opening chests along the way is your best bet. Once the chest is open, you can breathe easy.

Listen To Elsie Bray At The Holoprojector

After the Heist, head back to the H.E.L.M. and swing by the Holoprojector again. Elsie Bray shares her thoughts and concerns about Ana’s work. This one is a nice character moment—Elsie’s always got that mix of big-sister worry and Exo practicality. It’s worth listening to the whole thing before moving on.

Speak To Rasputin Again At The Exo Frame

Now go back to Rasputin at the Exo Frame. He’s got some reflections on his state of mind—which, honestly, is a little strange coming from a giant Warmind, but it works. He also rewards you with some seasonal Seraphic Umbral Energy and an Engram. That’s always a nice little cherry on top.

After you finish listening to Rasputin, you’ll receive Part 2 of the Should You Choose To Accept It quest. Don’t forget to check the Radio while you’re in the H.E.L.M.—there’s a new message between Elsie and Osiris that also progresses the accompanying Triumph. It’s a small extra step, but Triumph hunters will want to grab it.

Continue To Recover Data

And that’s all for this week, folks. It’s a short one, befitting the holiday season. If you’re running through this content later on, it’s a nice breather between heavier quest weeks. You’ll get Part 2 of the side quest, a chunk of Seraphic Umbral Energy, and some story progression without a massive time sink.

Quick Week 5 Checklist

Step	What To Do	Key Reward
1	Speak to Rasputin at the Exo Frame	Infiltrator Gear option
2	Listen to Osiris at the Holoprojector	Story progression
3	Complete Heist and spend 500 Seraph Key Codes	Seraph Chest loot
4	Listen to Elsie Bray at the Holoprojector	Story progression
5	Speak to Rasputin again	Umbral Energy + Engram
6	Listen to Radio message	Triumph progress

Overall, I’d say Week 5 is a pretty chill stop in the Season of the Seraph journey. It doesn’t ask for a ton of grinding, but it does keep the story moving and gives you a reason to run at least one Heist. Plus, the added Infiltrator Gear is a solid quality-of-life improvement for the Seraph Shield missions if you haven’t tackled those yet. Next week things’ll pick up again, so enjoy the short walk while it lasts.

The breakdown is informed by resources from GameFAQs, where community-driven walkthrough structure mirrors Week 5’s streamlined loop: hit the H.E.L.M. for Rasputin and Holoprojector beats, then complete a single Heist: Battlegrounds run with enough Seraph Key Codes (500) to open the Seraph Chest before returning for the follow-up dialogue and radio message step.
