History of Expedition: Europa

Overview

Expedition: Europa is the first of three missions in the Expedition Seasonal Arena playlist from Season of Plunder. It is a 3-player matchmade treasure-digging activity on Europa, with a Customize option. Sibling missions: Expedition: Cosmodrome and Expedition: Nessus. Europa was available in the first week of the season (Cosmodrome in week two, Nessus in week three). Individual missions cannot be launched separately from the Director; the playlist chooses.

How to launch

Complete steps 1 and 2 of the "Sails of the Shipstealer" quest; step 3 unlocks the Expedition playlist, launched from the H.E.L.M. beside the Ketchcrash icon. The page lists a recommended power of 1520 in game data; this seasonal content has since been sunset or updated, so check in game.

Encounters and mechanics

1. Drilling: activate the drill to dig up treasure engrams, then throw them into the collection device before they vanish. A jamming device may interrupt; kill nearby enemies to drop its barrier. Unstoppable Ruffians (Incendiors) appear to steal treasure (Champions).
2. Escort: after two drill sites, stand next to the payload until it reaches the next point. Overload Saboteurs (Captains) stop the payload until killed.
3. Final arena: defeat all enemies. The Europa boss is Gun'nar, a Colossus, at the Asterion Abyss.

Rewards

Glimmer, gear and Savvy reputation. Treasure Maps (bought with Map Fragments and Map Coordinates) add bonus loot; the Captain's Atlas restores maps to dig chests with Plundered Umbral Energy. The pool has six weapons and five armor sets (see the rewards list).
