Black Spindle exotic sniper rifle

In the "Lost To Light" Daily Heroic Story on Ocean Of Storm, Moon, proceed as normal and quickly reach the third relic room in The World's Grave (towards the end of mission) that requires three relics to continue. It is recommended to just run through and dodge as many enemies as possible to quickly reach this area. In the third relic room, instead of proceeding as normal, go through the open door and continue along the path that you would normally take for The Shadow Thief strike where you fight Taniks. You will eventually reach the "Dusk Warren" area and then the Traitor's Ketch lift. If you were quick enough, you can take the lift to begin a secret mission. If you cannot take the lift, you will have to go back to orbit and try again. Once the secret mission begins, you will have ten minutes to complete it, which includes the final room where you have to defeat Driviks, the Chosen (a Taken version of the Taniks Boss) and all enemies. Make sure to first kill the Boss before killing the other enemies or more enemies will keep respawning. If you kill all enemies and Taniks before time runs out, you will get the Black Spindle exotic sniper rifle that has regenerating ammo. It is the exotic version of the Black Hammer legendary sniper rifle with all the same stats and perks, except it has 310 (being patched to 290) damage. It is also possible to get the "Vienna Singer" legendary ship for completing the secret mission. Note: The secret mission is extremely difficult and requires a very good team with high light level. There are a lot of Level 41 enemies with shields in the secret mission. You will need weapons with Solar, Arc, and Void damage. The Truth rocket launcher is good at killing Taken Wizards with Void shields. If you fail the secret mission by all players dying or running out of time, you will be kicked to orbit and have to start again at the beginning of the Lost To Light mission. You also can only do this when "Lost To Light" is the Daily Heroic Story.

Factions

When you select a faction you will have to stay with it for a minimum period of a week so before you decide which of the three factions you want to use you need to think about your challenge and the enemies you will likely meet so you are able to choose the best suited faction before you embark on your journey.

Grind

The progression system in this expansion is the same as before which means that it is based on Experience. Like most MMO or RPG you earn Experience by defeating enemies and completing quests. The best strategy for this expansion is to focus on grinding your way up to Level 40 which is the level cap and forget about things like weapons until you reach it.

Nightfall Strikes

A good way to acquire legendary and exotic weapons and armour quickly is to face Nightfall strikes as soon as possibile.

Side Missions

Don't be tempted with side missions and quests unless there is chance of getting an incredible new weapon or piece of armour from them. Your main goal it to become as strong as possible.
