Quick Links
Every Destiny 2 season comes with a plethora of new content for players to delve into. A new seasonal activity, quests, and Exotics are enough to keep most Destiny fans busy for weeks on end. Each season also comes with a new Artifact, giving players a means of increasing their Power level.
These Artifacts also come with a grid of powerful mods that players can unlock. Some of these mods rival Exotics in terms of raw power, ranging from debuffing targets with grenades to gaining Super energy from Super kills. If you want to create the strongest builds in Destiny 2, you’ll want to unlock some of these mods. Let’s go over every mod that you can find in Season 15’s Wayfinder’s Compass Artifact.
How To Get The Wayfinder’s Compass Artifact
The Wayfinder’s Compass is obtained upon completing Season of the Lost’s opening quest. You’re launched into the mission immediately upon logging in. If you left the mission and need to complete it, you can find it under the Dreaming City tab of the Director. Once obtained, any XP you earn will contribute to your Artifact’s progress.
As your Artifact gains XP, you’ll be able to unlock additional mods in the Artifact. You can only have up to 12 mods unlocked in your Artifact at a time. You can reset the Artifact at any time to change your selection of mods for an escalating Glimmer cost. Artifact XP also increases the Power level of your character.

Wayfinder’s Compass: Column One
The first column contains most of this season’s Anti-Champion mods for your weapons. Season of the Lost encourages the use of Auto Rifles, Bows, Swords, Pulse Rifles, Sidearms, and Fusion Rifles (unlocked later in the Artifact).

Our unlock recommendations are:
- Anti-Barrier Auto Rifle: It’s the only Anti-Barrier mod this season.
- Overload Bow: Explosive Head Bows, along with Le Monarque and Ticuu’s Divination, instantly stun Overload Champions.
- Overload Sword: If your build can handle close-range punishment, Swords are a great option. Grab Passive Guard later in the Artifact to complement this playstyle.

Wayfinder’s Compass: Column Two
Cheaper alternatives to standard armor mods are found in this column, most of which revolve around weapon performance.

Helmet
For column two, some good choices include:
- Hands-On: It’s one point, can be applied to any helmet, and gives a solid chunk of Super energy. Great for melee builds.
- Shotgun Dexterity: Only for Crucible players that don’t use Quickdraw Shotguns.
- Sword Scavenger: Only for those that grabbed Overload Sword earlier. One Heavy brick grants an immense amount of ammo.

Wayfinder’s Compass: Column Four
Column four is when the Artifact starts getting interesting. A Solar variant of Oppressive Darkness is present, along with an Anti-Champion mod for Fusions and some Stasis-themed mods.

Elemental Well
Nearly everything from this column is good. Grab whatever sounds good for your build. Some notes:
- Unstoppable Fusion Rifle: Works with Vex Mythoclast and One Thousand Voices.
- Withering Heat: Effectively Oppressive Darkness for Solar abilities. It only debuffs Champions.
- Resonance Siphon: Grants grenade, melee, and class ability energy. The energy gained per ability is significant.
- Thermoclastic Strike: Works well with Revenant’s Withering Blades or Dawnblade’s Celestial Fire. You gain your entire melee ability when an Overload is stunned.
- Fire and Ice: Currently only grants one Solar and Stasis well, but this is confirmed to be a bug.

Wayfinder’s Compass: Column Five
The Wayfinder’s most Exotic effects can be found in the final column. All of them are good picks for one reason or another. Remember, you can only grab two of these.

Here’s how each mod works:
- Well of Potency: Grants a small amount of Super energy on grabbing an Elemental Well.
- This will pair exceptionally well with the new Elemental Shards mod, allowing you to gain Super energy from Stasis Shards.
- Unknown if this combo works in PvP—as this requires Elemental Shards to release, which should occur later in the season.
- Pyretic Embrace: Fully restores your health and shields when casting your Solar Super.
- Works in PvP.
- Thermoclastic Blooming: Unlike Thermal Blooming from Beyond Light’s Artifact, this doesn’t specify “for your fireteam,” meaning it should spawn Orbs for you to grab.
- Pair this with Taking Charge for a good Charged with Light generator.
- Focusing Lens: Causes enemies affected by Stasis to take 25% more damage from Light abilities. If you frequently raid or play GM Nightfalls, this mod is a must. There are two reasons why this mod is so good:
- It buffs all damage done while in a Well of Radiance.
- It stacks with other buffs and debuffs.
- Particle Deconstruction: Fusion Rifles and Linear Fusion Rifles debuff a target by 8% per hit, capping at a 40% damage buff after 5 shots.
- Only your Fusions and LFRs gain bonus damage from this debuff.
- This mod stacks with Shadowshot tether (credit to Reddit user u/TheBountyHunted for the find).
- If you tether an enemy after using Particle Deconstruction, they’ll take over 80% increased damage.
- This will pair exceptionally well with the new Elemental Shards mod, allowing you to gain Super energy from Stasis Shards.
- Unknown if this combo works in PvP—as this requires Elemental Shards to release, which should occur later in the season.
