Act 1

Below is all the information pertaining to the first Act of our first Episode in Destiny 2.

Lore

Victory is ours — we have vanquished the Witness! In the wake of this monumental battle, the Traveler unleashed a curious phenomenon that has captivated the Vex, causing them to behave even more strangely than before. Join forces with our trusted ally, Failsafe, as we delve into the ever-changing landscape of Nessus. Uncover the planet's hidden secrets and unravel the mysteries that lie within its transforming terrain.

Arena: Breach Executable

In the Breach Executable activity, a fireteam of three explores Vex disruptions on the reawakening Nessus. The goal is to unveil enemy secrets and collect data essential for examining the changes occurring on Nessus.

• Gather data from powerful defeated enemies or by achieving activity goals.
• Deposit the collected data for extraction so Failsafe can research upgrades and provide the team with temporary enhancements during the activity.
• Break Vex monoliths with the Planetary Piston Hammer to find Crimson and Iridescent Radiolite, then take it back to the H.E.L.M. for Failsafe to analyze and for your rewards.

Rewards

Collaborate with Vanguard allies to earn Seasonal engrams, acquire powerful weapons and armor, and collect Radiolite samples. Players can gather these samples during Echoes activities and then exchange them at a Radiolite bay in the H.E.L.M. for extra rewards.

Additionally, Guardians can help Failsafe analyze collected specimens to unlock permanent upgrades in the H.E.L.M.'s Research Bay.
