The Sharpest Encounter

Overview

The Sharpest Encounter requires completing one Pantheon encounter with the Cutthroat Combat feat active. It belongs to the 2026 Pantheon Triumph category and rewards the Exotic Orbiter ship.

How to complete

1. Assemble a six-player fireteam and select a Pantheon activity in the Director's raid activities.
2. Choose Custom difficulty and enable Cutthroat Combat before launching. Standard difficulty does not use feats, and Adventure is the practice option.
3. Complete one encounter with the feat enabled. Choose a boss the group already understands, assign mechanic roles before starting and reserve heavy ammunition and damaging Supers for the damage phase. Cutthroat increases combat difficulty, so handle enemies from cover and avoid sacrificing mechanic execution for extra damage.
4. Claim the completed Triumph to receive Orbiter. The objective requires an encounter clear; it does not require finishing the entire gauntlet or enabling every feat.

This record belongs to the Pantheon introduced with the 2026 Monument of Triumph update.
