Salvage (activity)

This article is about the Season of the Deep activity. For the Crucible map, see Salvage.

The Fallen attempt to destroy supplies.

Salvage is an activity introduced with Season of the Deep.

Overview

With the return of Titan, the Vanguard starts coordinating operations to rid the New Pacific Arcology and surrounding areas from the forces of Xivu Arath, God of War, and recover Golden Age equipment to use for themselves.

Gameplay

Salvage is a six-player matchmade activity that can be launched from the H.E.L.M. Players will be sent to either the Salvage Rig or within the Arcology and, after clearing a small group of foes, they will be sent to one of several sites in the area to complete an encounter. Each encounter is different and has a time limit, though it is only present to make the encounter end eventually. Each encounter may differ slightly depending in which area it takes place, and which race is being fought, either the Fallen or the Hive, though Taken reinforcements appear sporadically alongside the others. Once three encounters have been completed, the players will be sent beneath the waves, in the Kraken Mare, to confront one of the two rotating bosses. Defeating the boss will complete the activity.

Treasure-Laden Combatants

Very rarely, a glowing enemy called Avaricious Knight will appear. Killing this foe rewards player with significant amounts of loot and keys.
