History of The Territory War Begins

Overview

The Territory War Begins is the post-campaign quest of Destiny 2: Renegades. It starts at the Cantina once you have finished the Renegades campaign quest, and introduces the Syndicate system on the Lawless Frontier. Expect several hours of play spread over at least two daily resets, because one step requires waiting for the Priority Contract reset.

Reward amounts differ by source: Destinypedia and ProGameTalk give 1 Infamous Engram, 20 Dark Matter Ingots and 2,000 Credits, while the in-game import lists the same three reward types without quantities.

Walkthrough

1. Gather the two remaining broadcaster components from around Tharsis Outpost.
2. Transmit the Prophecy from the repaired broadcaster in the Tharsis Bazaar, then listen to the recording that follows (a recording from Drifter according to Destinypedia).
3. Meet Blue at the Ghost commune in Tharsis Outpost, then speak to Spider in the Cantina.
4. Enter the Lawless Frontier and complete one Job against the Imperium presence on Europa.
5. Speak with Lodi through your Ghost in the Cantina.
6. Visit all three Syndicate quartermasters to hear their pitches: The Pikers, Tharsis Reformation and Totality Division. Visit all three before committing.
7. Ally with one Syndicate at its banner. You can change your allegiance later.
8. Speak with your new Syndicate's leader (Riliks for the Pikers, Zephyrus for Tharsis Reformation, Rao for Totality Division).
9. Complete a Priority Contract for your Syndicate. Optionally complete an Invasion on the Lawless Frontier to disrupt rivals, and wager extra Deathmarks to raise Invasion rewards. The Map Guide on the Renegades Map screen lists active Contracts.
10. Return to your Syndicate's den in the Cantina and deposit 10 Dark Matter Ingots in its War Chest to raise your Reputation.
11. Debrief with your Syndicate leader.
12. Keep doing Jobs (2) and Syndicate Contracts (2) and deposit another 10 Dark Matter Ingots. When the Priority Contract resets at daily reset, you may stay loyal or ally with a different Syndicate.
13. The day after completing the Priority Contract, rival Syndicates offer incentives: ally with a new Syndicate and complete an activity.
14. Reach Rank 3 with any one Syndicate (the step lists a counter of 0/2 per Syndicate; reaching Rank 3 with one is enough per ProGameTalk).
15. At Rank 3, buy that Syndicate's Renegade Ability from its quartermaster with Credits: the Piker Mortar (Pikers), Vex Stun Field (Tharsis Reformation) or Imperium Behemoth (Totality Division).
