Salvation’s Edge challenges explained
As of now, we have Salvation’s Edge master challenges rotation for each week. Right now, you can learn how to complete Scenic Route challenge in Destiny 2. We will update this segment when we have more information.
Scenic Route challenge: first encounter
One of two teams has to destroy the second Overload champion that spawns every time. To do this, the team that gets the first Overload champ to spawn has to ignore it and destroy the Keeper of the Monolith Hydra. After taking it down, the second Overload will appear for another team. Destroy the champ to get the Tormentor into your room and repeat until the encounter is over.
Why can’t you kill the first Overload? If you destroy it, the Tormentor will spawn and despawn the second Overload if it is up. So, just keep this in mind and ignore them.
At Capacity challenge explained: second encounter
The challenge is that you can only deposit into the resonance box if you have three stacks. So, two sides run as usual. Then, the closers from the two sides move to the last side and collect one resonance each. And the closer on the last side only collects one of the required shapes to close. The sender on the final side earns three stacks as usual. Also, you can choose one player that will close all three, if this will make it easier for your team.
Balanced Diet challenge explained: third encounter
In this challenge, you need to choose a different shape each time. If you choose a circle the first time, the next time you will need to choose either a square or a triangle. For example, you could choose square, circle, triangle, and then circle, square, circle.
Varied Geometry challenge explained: fourth encounter
It is time for the hardest challenge in Salvation’s Edge. In the fourth challenge of this raid, players must use all six distinct three-dimensional shapes before they can reuse a previously exploited shape in order to escape.
To accomplish this, follow these steps:
- In the first round, exit using “complex” 3D shapes (cones, prisms, and cylinders).
- In the second round, players should use “perfect” 3D figures (spheres, quadrilaterals, and pyramids) to exit. Also, don’t forget to match outer shape with the “perfect” 3D shape held by the inside player. Additionally, the “perfect” 3D figures should differ from those of your character’s statue. For example, if your character is holding a square, you could use a sphere or pyramid to escape. Remember, this also applies to the statues outside, meaning statues must match the key you use to exit.
- After that, the third round should revert back to using the “complex” shapes again.
And that’s how you beat the fourth challenge in Salvation’s Edge.
Coordinated Efforts challenge explained: fifth encounter
In this challenge, your team has to destroy all the glyphs on the Witness’s chest in 5 seconds. To do this, four players need to get the Glyphbreaker buff and quickly shoot the buttons. You can use the double-breaking technique, but you need to act fast and coordinate with your teammates.
Salvation’s Edge adept weapons god rolls
Next up, let’s do a Salvation’s Edge adept weapons overview! All six weapons are getting a complete breakdown with essential details you need to keep in mind.
Non-Denouement, Bow
- Non-Denouement PvE god roll:
- Dragonfly, Archer’s Tempo
- Voltshot, Explosive Head, Archer’s Gambit, Chaos Reshaped
- Non-Denouement PvP god roll:
- Hip-Fire Grip, Archer’s Tempo
- Archer’s Gambit, Moving Target
Non-Denouement is the best legendary Bow in the game, having excellent add-clear potential and multiple synergies with Arc. The best perk for PvE is definitely Voltshot, which, in combination with Dragonfly, helps you create many explosions. Overall, this is one of the central weapons to focus on in our Salvation’s Edge adept weapon list.
Imminence, SMG
- Imminence PvE god roll:
- Demolitionist, Slice, Enlightened Action
- Hatchling, Chaos Reshaped, Firefly, Desperate Measures
- Imminence PvP god roll:
- Fragile Focus, Perpetual Motion
- Kill Clip, Target Lock
Imminence, while being a decent Strand SMG with good perks for both PvE and PvP, can be easily replaced by other guns. If you really like it, consider the new Chaos Reshaped perk, giving up to 35% bonus damage, and Firefly, which appears for the first time on Submachine Guns. Of course, in PvP, it can find its niche due to good perks, but Lightweight SMGs have never been particularly popular.
Nullify, Pulse Rifle
- Nullify PvE god roll:
- Heal Clip, Firefly, Demolitionist
- Incandescent, Chaos Reshaped, Desperate Measures
- Nullify PvP god roll:
- Rapid Hit
- Desperate Measures, Multikill Clip
Nullify is a new Two-Burst Pulse Rifle archetype, already making it a unique gun. For PvE, consider the Firefly and Incandescent combo, which previously was only on Tyranny Of Heaven. However, if survivability is more critical than explosions, Heal Clip is a great alternative. Unfortunately, Nullify won’t be very good in PvP due to the lack of solid perks. Nevertheless, Nullify is still an excellent representative of Pulse Rifles, making it one of the best Salvation’s Edge adept weapons in The Final Shape.
Critical Anomaly, Sniper Rifle
- Critical Anomaly PvE god roll:
- Chill Clip, Reconstruction, Rewind Rounds
- Bait and Switch, Chaos Reshaped, Firing Line
- Critical Anomaly PvP god roll:
- Opening Shot, Quickdraw
- Snapshot Sights
Critical Anomaly is the first Sniper Rifle in the game to get Chill Clip, which is already an excellent choice for GMs. Unfortunately, this perk is in the third column, making it impossible to combine with Reconstruction. For DPS, any of the recommended perks will be useful in different situations, but Bait and Switch will be the most reliable. In PvP, Critical Anomaly can be considered the most beneficial 72 RPM Sniper Rifle in the first slot, so fans of this archetype will definitely be pleased with its appearance.
Forthcoming Deviance, Glaive
- Forthcoming Deviance PvE god roll:
- Demolitionist, Reconstruction, Grave Robber, Disruption Break, Impulse Amplifier
- Chain Reaction, Chaos Reshaped, Close to Melee, Unstoppable Force
- Forthcoming Deviance PvP god roll:
- Impulse Amplifier
- Unstoppable Force
Forthcoming Deviance has the best perks that could appear on a Glaive. Grave Robber + Close to Melee is the best combo for Melee builds, while Demolitionist + Chain Reaction helps you restore Grenade energy by easily destroying hordes of enemies.
Summum Bonum, Sword
- Summum Bonum PvE god roll:
- Relentless Strikes, Unrelenting, Tireless Blade
- Any Perk
Summum Bonum is the first Wave-Frame Legendary Sword with decent perks. In addition to its uniqueness, this archetype has quite good damage. That’s why, if you have Surrounded, your DPS (damage per second) will be at the level of a famous Bequest.
