Destiny 2: Beyond Light is finally here after months and months of waiting. Acting as the next major chapter in this FPS/RPG hybrid, players will embark on a journey to Europa to battle against a Fallen leader called Eramis and learn more about the true nature of the Darkness. This expansion includes new characters, missions, endgame activities, weapons, exotics, and enemy types. Similar to previous expansions, players can attempt the new Deep Stone Crypt raid to earn loot and a new title. To obtain the latter, you’ll need to complete all the triumphs including the raid challenges. Today marks the first raid challenge’s release, which is actually much easier than I expected.
Here’s how to complete the Red Rover raid challenge in the Deep Stone Crypt:
(Author’s Note: We will be covering this under the assumption you know how to complete the base Crypt Security encounter.)
Red Rover Raid Challenge
This challenge is tied to the Crypt Security encounter at the start of the raid. To complete the Red Rover triumph everyone in the raid team has to be the Operator at least once and shoot at least two panels in the basement. This means you will need to do three phases, to ensure that everyone has a chance to destroy the panels. I do not recommend trying to do more than two Operators a cycle, as you’ll risk being cooked alive in the basement.
How this will work is first designate an order for all six of your fireteam. Group everyone up into teams of two and decide which of the three phases they will go into the crypt. When the encounter starts, the first Operator will go under and blast the two panels in the dark side section of the room. That person will immediately send the Operator buff up via the basement terminal and his partner, who should pick up the Operator buff, will go downstairs and take his place. The second Operator will then destroy the panels on the right in the light side, triggering the damage phase.
Once your damage phase is over, the second Operator sends the buff up top and the first of the second pair grabs it. Repeat this process two more times until all six players have received the buff and destroyed two of the panels in the basement.
Speed is the key here because if you’re in the basement too long you’ll trigger the security and die. Make sure to be clear with who is getting the buff and going downstairs. You’ll also want to make sure everyone knows the callouts for the top area since they will, most likely, need to be the Scanner at some point. I recommend Only destroying two fuses a cycle to be safe, as you can use the rest of the DPS phase’s timer to swap the Operator buff around to the next team. I also recommend focusing on mod clearing over damage since you’ll need to deal with a lot of Captains and Overload Champions. Make sure to bring a void weapon like Fallen Guillotine to break those shields!
