History of (Heroic) Poor Reception

Overview

(Heroic) Poor Reception is the Heroic version of the Adventure Poor Reception on European Dead Zone. The Fallen are jamming communications that guide refugees; unlocked after the mission A New Frontier, in the Outskirts.

Heroic Adventures were a Year 1 feature: each week the destination of the active Flashpoint had its Adventures flagged as Heroic, in the rotation European Dead Zone, Nessus, Tangled Shore, Io, Mercury, Titan, Mars (per player reports). They are launched from the destination map, or from the NPC who offers the Adventure (Devrim Kay / Hawthorne). The game lists them at a nominal 750 Power; the standard Adventure recommendation is +20 Power at the time of listing, and the game data does not state a separate Heroic difficulty. Players describe them as only modestly harder than the normal version. Heroic completions count towards the Wayfarer seal triumphs. Sources disagree or are sparse on Heroic-specific rewards; none are documented beyond the normal Adventure's.

Encounters and mechanics

1. Destroy a Shank to investigate the feedback.
2. Defend a signal antenna while Ghost locates the jammer.
3. Descend into the Scavenger's Den, kill the barrier-controlling Captains and the boss Graxus, Blind Captain, while Ghost disables the jammer. Enemies: Dregs, Vandals, Marauders, Captains.

Rewards

Completion counts towards the Wayfarer seal; the base Adventure Poor Reception has the same story and steps. No Heroic-specific loot is documented in sources.
