The person who grabs the Operator should head to the back of the room, shoot the panel next to the door, and then blast the panel beside the door to their right. The other three should stay on the light side, with one designated as the Operator. When the encounter starts, send three people to the dark side and designate one as the Scanner. You get this buff on the dark side of the room from an enemy Vandal that has a bright yellow symbol over its head. Just like the Operator buff, this can be deposited into the terminals and picked up by another player.


Their job is to identify which of the ten panels in the basement are glowing yellow, so the Operator shoots the correct one. With this buff, the Scanner can look through the glass floors at the various panels in the basement. The other buff is colored yellow and called Scanner. It does not have to be the same terminal. This buff can be passed to another player by putting it into a terminal and then taken out of a terminal by another player. With the Operator buff, you can shoot the glowing panels on the wall to either open doors or help lower the glass around the six fuses. The first is the Operator, which is acquired by picking it up at one of the terminal consoles on either the dark or light side. There are two unique buffs in the Crypt Security raid. Just keep this map in the back of your mind for now, since you’ll need to have at least three people master the layout of this encounter space. I recommend spending some time familiarizing yourself with both the glass floor and basement panels positions before beginning the activity. The yellow rectangles are panels that someone in the basement will need to shoot while the green boxes are the glass floors. Finally, the top floors have several pillars resting on glass floors that allow you to see below to the basement.Ībove is a map created by Twitter user Nox_Aeterno that shows the layout of this encounter. Against the divider wall, you will also find two machines that are glowing yellow and will be used to pass buffs throughout the encounter. Additionally, there is a door in the front and back, with the latter leading to the basement. Down the middle is a divider that splits the room with a large cylinder in the middle that has three fuses displayed behind glass on either side. Players also call these sections dark side (server) and light side (tube), so don’t be surprised if you hear those used as well. The encounter space is broken up into three distinct areas: tube side, server side, and the underground. My team found that Xenophage absolutely decimates these fuses, but you can also use shotguns or sniper rifles. You will also need to damage the central fuses in the room until they are destroyed. You will want to prepare for these enemies, as they are the biggest threats in the encounter. There is no “boss,” however, you will have Overload Champions and yellow bar Fallen Captains with void shields. To start, you will want to bring in any mob clearing Supers and weapons with you. This is a puzzle encounter that can be confusing at first glance but is actually pretty simple. Your first major challenge, assuming you survived the frigid cold of the Sparrow race, will be to deactivate the Crypt’s Security. Perhaps the second-best raid in Destiny 2, this activity will challenge you with unique puzzles, boss fights, and environmental hazards. The biggest draw is, of course, is the new Deep Stone Crypt raid on Europa. This expansion includes new characters, missions, endgame activities, weapons, exotics, and enemy types. Acting as the next major chapter in this FPS/RPG hybrid, players will embark on a journey to Europa to battle against a Fallen leader called Eramis and learn more about the true nature of the Darkness. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is finally here after months and months of waiting.
