Week 1 walkthrough

To kick things off, you will need to complete the intro story mission you are given when first logging in. You will then see a teleporter which can take you back to the H.E.L.M. Here you can interact with the holoprojector in the wing of the H.E.L.M. to hear The Drifter’s next step, introducing you to Salvage.

From there, you will need to finish the Operation Thunderbolt mission, which isn’t too tricky, although it is power level 1800. So, be sure to be fully equipped. Then, take the coral to Sloane in The H.E.L.M. to hear some of Ahsa’s thoughts and you will have completed the week’s activities once you speak to Sloane at the holoprojector and claimed the “Deep Challenger” seasonal challenge.

In week 2, you will need to head back to the holoprojector, listen to Zavala, and then complete your weekly Salvage activity. From there, you will get a new mission: ‘Mayday. Mayday.’

With that mission done (it’s a lot like last week’s mission), you can go back to the H.E.L.M. and witness a conversation between Zavala and Saint-14. From there, head into the portal and bring the coral to Sloane again to hear Ahsa’s thoughts once more, completing week 2.
