Vex Offensive

Vex Offensive

Vex Offensive is a new 6-player arena gamemode introduced with Season of the Undying in Shadowkeep. In this arena, players enter the Black Garden and fight off the Vex in order to stop more incursions from happening on the Moon.

Gameplay

There are three rounds to the arena. For the first two rounds you must hold off waves of Sol Divisive Vex. After you have killed enough Vex, Gate Technicians will spawn, along with Fanatics and Supplicants. Killing the Gate Technicians will drop Void Craniums that Guardians will have to pick up and use to destroy the Oracles. During the first round 6 Oracles will spawn, and 12 will spawn in the second.

During the third round the players must fight a Minotaur named Crotheon, Gate Keeper. The mechanics from the first two rounds still exist in the third, meaning you will have to kill the Gate Technicians and get the Void Craniums. Players must use the Craniums to take down Crotheon's shields, giving them 30 seconds to damage it before they recharge. During the battle Crotheon will rotate between three points within the boss area, meaning players will have to move regularly.

Final Assault

The Final Assault version of Vex Offensive plays the exact same, but the final boss is the Undying Mind rather than Crotheon. The only difference in the boss fight is that the Mind summons Harpy Seekers during damage phases.

Loot Pool

Each round unlocks chests that give either random rare gear, or Season of the Undying gear. This includes:

• Imperative
• Optative
• Adhortative
• Subjunctive
• Substitutional Alloy armor pieces
• Pluperfect
• Temporal Clause

The chests also drop Vex Mind Components and Vex Chassis Components
