With a new weekly reset here and a new Contender’s Ascent quest, let’s take a look at what can be done in the Battlegrounds today. As a reminder, the Battlegrounds are:
Battlegrounds
Behemoth - Nessus
Hailstone - Europa
Foothold - Cosmodrome
Oracle - Nessus
[b][u]Suggested Loadout[/u]
[/b]
Go Sidearm, Combat Bow, Pulse Rifle in Kinetic and Energy. Grab a Linear Fusion Rifle for your Power Weapon (Though Arbalest may make things easier for you). Make your weapons Solar.
Get those Precision, Grenade, and Super Multikills. Be sure to keep an eye out for Powerful combatants (Orange bar or higher, I think) and get kills with your Energy weapons.
This covers all of Banshee’s calibrations, the War Table’s dailies, and Zavala’s From Downtown and Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.
If you’re looking for that extra bump in XP, be sure to grab both Banshee’s and the War Table’s Repeatable bounties. Going off of last season’s XP values, they should nab you around 3,000 XP each. Banshee’s Repeatables will also count towards his Weekly Gunsmith Bounty challenge.
[b]Rewards[/b]
- 60,000 XP
- 8 Mod Components and 4 Enhancement Cores
- Progress on Banshee’s Weekly Gunsmith Bounty Challenge
- 10 Vanguard Tokens
- Progress on Zavala’s Weekly Vanguard Bounty Challenge
[b][u]Planetary Vendors[/u]
[/b]
Failsafe’s only bounty for Nessus is her To Smithereens daily. Get Grenade kills (Lines up nicely with Zavala’s Horseshoes and Hand Grenades)
From Variks, grab his A Vexing End daily which require Vex finisher kills. You can also grab his Repeatable bounties as some of them can be done in the Hailstone Battleground. Both Variks’ dailies and Repeatables count towards his Weekly Europa bounty challenge.
Shaw from the Cosmodrome has the best lineup for the Foothold Battleground. Pick up his Full Spectrum weekly which requires Arc, Solar, and Void kills. Then get Melee/Finisher, Grenade, and Kinetic weapon kills for his Spitting Distance, Out With a Bang, and Bread and Butter dailies.
Each Planetary daily should reward 6,000 XP and Planetary materials.
