Salt Mines

Overview

Salt Mines is a Solo Ops activity in the European Dead Zone ("Stop new enemies from gaining a foothold in the depths of the EDZ"). The location is a partially inaccessible sector above Trostland on Earth, home to House of Dusk Fallen and Red Legion Cabal. Its story mission is "Combustion", and the Adventure "A Frame Job" partly takes place there.

The Salt Mines first appeared in Destiny 2 during Season of the Drifter.

Location

The exit to Trostland is at the southern end of the sector.

Without the Combustion mission active, an energy barrier blocks progress past the Tunnel. The Sinkhole and the Transmat are accessible only during or after Combustion. The Transmat teleports players to a grassy area on top of the Salt Mines.

Enemies

Three Fallen enemy groups are found here, and Fallen are especially dense during Combustion, which also brings Servitors to the Main Quarry. A group of Taken is in the Inner Yard, and Cabal appear on the Grassy Cliff during A Frame Job.
