History of Artifact Perks

Artifact Perks is a triumph for activating perks from your Seasonal Artifact.

Mechanic

• Each season's artifact offers 25 perks arranged in five tiers, and you can have at most 12 active at once. Perks are unlocked with artifact unlock points earned by gaining season XP, and can be refunded at no cost.
• Tier 1 is available by default; tier 2 needs 3 perks unlocked, tier 3 needs 5, tier 4 needs 7 and tier 5 needs 10.
• Perks replaced the older Seasonal Mods starting with Season of Defiance; before that artifacts granted mods (the artifact first appeared in Season of the Undying). Artifacts reset at the start of each season.

How to complete

Play normally to level the artifact, then spend your unlock points on perks and slot them in. The triumph progress tracks activated perks, so unlock as many as the artifact allows.
