===Vex===

The Vex patrol the wastes of Pluto, infecting it with their malignant influence and warping it into their grand design. Worse are for those of the Sol Divisive, who seek to understand the dark wisdom of the crashed Pyramid, now that the Witness is effectively silenced.

====Faction Specific Objectives====

*'''Confluence Neutralization''' ''"Outbound Baryonic streams have been detected ahead, meaning only one thing: the Vex are building something. Whatever it is, it cannot be formed. Destroy them."'' Through either interaction, defending, eliminating sacrifices or killing its architects, players must prevent the Vex from either forming a spire, killing confluence or simply interfering with data collection. A simple enough objective for players familiar with the game, but higher difficulties might find players facing punishment of a wipe for failure.

~~====Faction Specific Objectives====~~

*'''Destroy Oracles''' ''"The Vex have dispatched Oracles around your position. Whether or not the nearby sector has sufficient Vex transformation matters not. Eliminate those Oracles, quickly!"'' Here, players must dispatch Oracles scattered throughout the area. Depending on the current difficulty of the run or the progress of the Expedition, the Oracles could either just float around forever (or blink about from position to position), or they could activate to either aid nearby Vex, disrupt players and make them easy targets or, outright, wipe them. Though a simple enough premise, some Oracles may be shielded by a nearby unit or require a buff to destroy.

*'''Bleeding Network''' ''"Scouts have confirmed that there's a breach in the Vex Network nearby. This is an opportunity we cannot pass up. Breach it and sabotage the Vex from within."'' Here, a pocket of the Vex domain will be exposed, allowing players to traverse into the network and sabotage the Vex from within, either overloading their systems with excess data from their own units, destroying the master unit(s) within or wrestling data chunks from the deepest recesses of the domain out into the real world.

*'''Captive Liberation'''

*'''Gate Shutdown'''

*'''Active Simulation'''

*'''Idol Destruction'''

*'''Linked Relays'''

*'''Vex Tempest'''

Line 244:

*'''Hex of the Conflux''' ''"With the aid of their kindred from the Vault of Glass, time ebbs and flows around these Vex constructs. Aid might be found from other timestreams. Be careful."'' Sometimes, a killed Vex unit will just get right back up as either a Precursor or Descendant. Precursors have more health and Descendants deal more damage. Players will notice this change when a killed Vex unit begins to vanish in an angular haze.

*'''Hex of the Simulator''' ''"Data salvaged from the slain overseer of the Infinite Forest has prepared these Vex for you and your allies. Shake up your tactics to throw them out of balance."'' The more you use a weapon or ability, the less damage it does until it starts dealing no damage. Using other means of engagement will allow the debuffing Hex to slowly lose power over the last used attacks and powers until they are restored to full effectiveness. Be warned that using other abilities will also slowly apply the Hex to them.

*'''Hex of the ~~Praetorian~~''' ''"Darker hearts command the ability to wither away the very foundations they built at the clasp of their metal hands. Beware the disintegration fields in the area."'' Random areas will be hit with a Dematerialization field, which will instant kill a player if they are within proximity of it. It takes a while to activate, so players should have enough time to get clear before it procs.

*'''Hex of the Idol''' ''"Darker hearts command the ability to wither away the very foundations they built at the clasp of their metal hands. Beware the disintegration fields in the area."'' Random areas will be hit with a Dematerialization field, which will instant kill a player if they are within proximity of it. It takes a while to activate, so players should have enough time to get clear before it procs.
