Season of the Risen comes with a quest for the Exotic grenade launcher Dead Messenger.
Dead Messenger’s Intrinsic perk is called Trinary Vision.
This one-shot grenade launcher’s projectiles release a line of three energy wave currents when it hits the ground.
Rising Tensions has a few steps and goes by fairly quickly.
The Synaptic Spear doesn’t show up until you enter the Mindscape, where the final fight takes place.
Picking up the Rising Tensions reward from the H.E.L.M.
prompts the next quest called Operation Elbrus.
After the first step, you’ll enter the PsiOps Battlegrounds through the H.E.L.M.
to grab a Runic chest.
Operation Elbrus branches into a different quest at this point.
Anyone who did the Legendary campaign and received their 1520 gear should be ready to go.
At least one player should have an Unstoppable pulse rifle or Unstoppable hand cannon.
You’ll then need to dump the Airfield in only4 minutes and 30 secondsuntil orbital bombardment.
Hop into the Interceptor and shoot the garage door.
Beware of the Psion roaming around on the Martian desert on another Interceptor, it will immediately kill anyone.
For the Goliath Tank, a wild trick from previous Cabal activities comes in handy here.
The real pain here is the Scorpius turrets and the Cabal reinforcements that appear.
Amanda Holliday will drop a Drake tank, use this tank to head over to the next area.
However, that’s not the only objective here.
The area gets overwhelming with the Goliaths, rockets falling in from above, and smaller enemies.
Constantly staying on the move helps reduce damage taken.
Next, the mission will then say to blast launch the bunker door with an Interceptor or Drake.
Race to the Control Room
There is an Unstoppable Champion above the doorway and Scorpius turrets.
Entering the doorway triggers another timed objective, it starts at10 minutesand counts down.
The initial hallway will have a yellow bar Cabal enemy, an Unstoppable Champion, and Psions.
Repeat this for the other two rooms.
Finally, head to the Control Room through that big door to fight Qabix, Insurgent.
The three bubble Psions are on the left, right, and back of the map.
Do the same thing to take down the shield and defeat Qabix.
Qabix has unique attacks that can be fatal.
Lastly, head up to the Leviathan-inspired chest and grab the Dead Messenger.
For the catalyst, you’ll have to complete the higher difficulty Vox Obscura mission.
Also, Vox Obscura is a replayable mission and gives Pinnacle gear.
