'''The Variable''' is an [[Quest (Destiny 2)|Exotic Quest]] released in ''[[Season of Defiance]]'', marking the start of the "[[NODE.OVRD.AVALON]]" [[Exotic Mission]]. Completion of the quest awards players with the exotic [[Glaive]] [[Vexcalibur]] with [[Deepsight]] resonance, making it possible to [[Weapon Crafting|craft]] this weapon with different intrinsic traits that can be later unlocked from uncovering hidden chests in the exotic mission. 
 
==Steps==
===Step 1===
Investigate [[the Gulch]] in the [[EDZ]] where [[Guardian]]s have reported anomalous objects.

*'''Digital trace investigated'''
''The [[[[H.E.L.M.#Features|War Table]] reported that strange digital traces were found somewhere in the EDZ.''

===Step 2===
Follow the digital traces.<ref>Players must interact with all the Vex nodes in the Gulch within a limited timespan to acquire an access code. Each node reveals a different part of the code: 53-43-52-49-42-45 (Hexadecimal for SCRIBE). Once all nodes are triggered, a simulated cavewall deactivates, revealing a friendly [[Harpy]] that will mark the start of the [[Exotic Mission]].</ref>

*'''Mystery solved'''
''Each trace echoes part of an access code…''

===Step 3===
Explore the [[Vex Network|Vex network]] node in the EDZ and discover its secrets.

*'''//node.ovrd.AVALON// completed'''
''//node.ovrd.AVALON// can be launched from the EDZ in the Destinations tab of the Director.''

{{Quote|A Vex network node has been overwritten with a single word: [[NODE.OVRD.AVALON|AVALON]].}}

===Step 4===
Bring the object from the Vex network to the [[H.E.L.M.#Features|War Table]] for analysis.

*'''War Table visited'''
''The digitized object from within the Vex network requires further analysis.''

-====Transcript====
-{{verbatim}}
-''As you approached the War Table, the lights in the [[H.E.L.M.]] flicker ominously.''
-''You place the object claimed from the AVALON network node on the table.''
-''Suddenly, a cyclone of digitized information swirls from the War Table dataports. "TRANSFER DETECTED" flashes on the viewscreen as a surge of data flows over the object, imbuing it with strange power.''
-''In a moment, it is over, and a gleaming Glaive awaits you on the table. It seems as though [[Vanguard]] and Vex technology combined to create... something altogether new.''
-''The lights in the H.E.L.M. flicker once more... perhaps in smug satisfaction.''
