Front Line Salvager IV
Front Line Salvager IV:Complete Salvage or Deep Dive activities while using a Void subclass. Additionally, defeat Hive anywhere in the system.
This week’s variant on the Front Line Salvager challenge requires you tocomplete three Salvage or Deep Dive activities with a Void subclass.You only need to be ona Void subclasswhen the activity ends to receive credit.
The second part of this Seasonal Challenge requires you to defeat 50 Hive anywhere in the system. Salvage and Deep Dive typically spawn more than enough Hive enemies to complete this subobjective. If you somehow complete three games but don’t have enough Hive kills, visit Savathun’s Throne World or the Moon.
Deep Diver
Deep Diver:Successfully complete encounters at any depth in Deep Dive encounters. Pressure Trial encounters grant increased progress.
Complete six Deep Dive encountersto finish this challenge, Pressure Trials granting double progress. Most Deep Dive runs consist of three encounters before facing the final boss, meaning you’ll only need to complete two full Deep Dive runs to complete the Deep Diver challenge. If you complete the Pressure Trials, you’ll be able to finish this challenge in a single run.
Pressure Trials are activated by interacting with Toland Orbs that spawn shortly after starting an encounter. Keep your eyes peeled for these orbs tucked away in corners or other out-of-the-way spots.Everyone in your fireteam must activate the Toland Orb to trigger the Pressure Trial.
Commendable Salvager:Give or receive commendations in matchmade Salvage activities.
Give and/or receive six commendations in Salvageto finish this challenge. There’s not much to give tips on here.Complete a Salvage run, be sure to commend your fellow Guardians by opening the commendation screen, then boot up another match. One match is all you’ll need if everyone gives out commendations. If not, play another game and give out another batch of commendations.

Momentum Crash
Momentum Crash:Defeat Guardians in Momentum Control. Earn bonus progress with Zone Advantage.
Momentum Control is a weekly rotating playlist in the Crucible menu.When this playlist is active, kill 50 Guardians to finish this challenge.Momentum Control greatly increases the lethality of all weapons and limits ability uptime, making the likes of Scout and Pulse Rifles significantly stronger. Bring your favorite precision-focused weapon and farm the playlist until you land 50 kills. Jade Rabbit, Dead Man’s Tale, and Bows are all good options.
Sound Of Metal
Sound of Metal:Defeat targets with Auto Rifles, Hand Cannons, and Scout Rifles in Gambit. Bonus progress is granted for defeating Guardians.
In the Gambit playlist, you mustdefeat 100 enemies with Auto Rifles, 100 enemies with Hand Cannons, and 100 enemies with Scout Rifles.To reiterate,you need to do this in Gambit; no other playlist counts.
Exotic weapons are your best bet for getting this done quickly. For ARs, use Quicksilver Storm. Hand Cannon users should use Sunshot or Ace of Spades. As for Scout Rifles, use Dead Man’s Tale, Symmetry, or Touch of Malice.
Darkest Nightfall:Complete any Nightfall strike on Hero difficulty or higher.
Complete three Nightfalls on Hero difficultyto finish Darkest Nightfall. Higher difficulty tiers will grant additional progress, with GM Nightfalls instantly completing this challenge. We recommend farming Hero difficulty since it has matchmaking and minimal modifiers. If you have a group of people to play with, try Master or Grandmaster for better rewards.
Precision Calibration
Precision Calibration:Calibrate marksman weapons—Scout Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Linear Fusion Rifles—by landing precision final blows. Bonus progress against Guardians.
Precision Calibration requires you toland 200 precision kills with Scout Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Linear Fusion Rifles.This is easiest to do with Scout Rifles in a PvE activity. We recommend you use Dead Man’s Tale, Polaris Lance, or any Scout Rifle with an AoE perk like Dragonfly or Firefly.
As for getting those 200 kills, you can’t go wrong with theShuro Chi encounter in the Last Wish raid.You can use the Wish Room to boot up this encounter yourself. If you don’t own Forsaken, you can farm the opening encounter in the Grasp of Avarice dungeon or any Throne World Lost Sector.
