New Seasonal Questline

Vampiric Powers (Seasonal Mechanic)
During Season 2, you will be able to obtain Pact Armors that contain three different Pact types (Ferocity, Divinity, and Eternity). These Pact types are required to activate your Vampiric Powers, which can provide bonus effects to assist you in combat.
To unlock Vampiric Powers, you need to collect Potent Blood from defeating enemies. Additionally, there is the Blood Harvest Seasonal Event, which has a higher chance of dropping Potent Blood and Pact Armor.
You will also notice a number next to the Pact icon on your Pact Armors and Vampiric Powers. This number represents the points required to activate the Vampiric Powers and the points granted by a Pact Armor.
Customized Pact Armor
It is also possible to create your own Pact Armor by using Cleansing Acids and Standalone Pacts on your armor to add a specific type of Pact to your gear. This will allow you to ensure that your Pact Armor matches the Pact required to activate your Vampiric Powers.
The Blood Harvest Season Event
The Blood Harvest is a new seasonal event where you can siphon the blood of your enemies to collect Potent Blood and Pact Armors. These events can be found in the Dry Steppes, Hawezar, and Scosglen regions of Sanctuary. By completing World Events in these regions, you will earn Reputation, which is used to progress through the tiers and obtain rewards such as Pact Consumables, Items, and Crafting Materials.

In addition to these unique items, there is also a chance for them to drop special cosmetic items and mounts. However, in order to fight any of these bosses, you must be on World Tier III or World Tier IV, and you need to fulfill a specific requirement in order to summon one of them.

Battle Pass and Season Journey Rewards
A new set of rewards for both the Seasonal Journey and Battle Pass will be available as soon as Season 2 begins. Similar to the previous season, the Season Journey is divided into seven chapters, and it requires you to progress through the new seasonal storyline to obtain the rewards.
Regarding the Battle Pass, it consists of 90 tiers (27 free and 63 premium), and you will need to purchase the premium version to unlock the rewards from the premium tiers.
New Cosmetics and Shop Bundles
At the start of Season 2, new cosmetics and new shop bundles will be introduced such as the Hell's Champion Prestige shown above. Make sure to visit Tejal starting on October 17th, as she will update her stock throughout the Season of Blood.
