You can get some serious loot in the Season of the Wish's repeatable seasonal activity, especially if you stick with The Coil for the long term.

Destiny 2 has two new seasonal activities in the Season of the Wish, both of which take you to Riven's Lair, a sort of paracausal pocket dimension created by the near-magical power of Riven, the last ahamkara. But while both events take place in the same location, the two activities you can play this season are pretty different. The activity called The Coil adds a lot of roguelite elements to the activity, like others we've seen in recent seasons, and is highly focused on the score you earn along the way.

Though you can unlock it by completing the first week's story missions, Destiny 2 doesn't really explain what's going on in The Coil unless you seek out the details by hovering over its node in the Director map. Even if you do read about the mode, though, you'll probably be a little confused. Here's everything you need to know about The Coil, what you can earn from it, and why you'll want to put some time into it during the Season of the Wish.

Like in past seasons, The Coil lets you earn extra rewards when you complete the activity, but only if you have special keys that unlock special chests at the end of each run. It's a lot less lucrative to run The Coil without having Lair Keys, so you'll want to stock up between sessions.

As with past seasons, you'll gather Lair Keys from just about every other activity in Destiny 2, including rituals like Strikes, Gambit matches, and Crucible matches. You can also get them from completing Riven's Lair events, for increasing your seasonal reputation with Riven, and in reward chests for other activities like Lost Sectors or
