The video discusses a new game activity called "Deep Dives" introduced in the season "the deep," focusing on its mechanics, strategies, and rewards. "Deep Dives" is a three-person, evolving activity accessed via the Helm, which offers increasing complexity and rewards over time. Players start with intrinsic bonuses, navigate through oceanic settings, and tackle progressively harder levels with specific objectives such as activating "pressure trials."
Time constraints and modifiers add to the challenge, with detailed strategies provided for managing in-game drills, defeating enemies, and optimizing team composition. Boss fights against characters like Kilgrath, Kudazan, and Jaw require specific weapon strategies, and players are advised on exploiting different class abilities for optimal performance.
Rewards, such as exotic items and red border weapons, vary with tier levels; higher tiers give more chests and, potentially, more valuable items, although inconsistently. The video suggests efficient farming methods and hints at upcoming features, including a new exotic scout rifle and seasonal red border weapons, encouraging players to stay updated via in-game resets and live streams.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains the new activity “Deep Dives” in detail, introduced in the season “the deep.” Deep Dives is a three-person activity that can be accessed from the helm and can be played with a team or solo. Over the weeks, the activity evolves: week one involves completing one level and defeating a boss, week two adds a second level and a different boss, and week three introduces three consecutive levels with a final boss.
The activity can now take over 20 minutes but offers higher-tier rewards if challenges are completed at each level. Players start by choosing one of two intrinsic bonuses awarded by floating black orbs, which stay active throughout the activity. The journey includes descending through the ocean, opening doors via levers, and dealing with oxygen bubbles.
To maximize rewards, players should activate “pressure trials” by interacting with taken orbs, requiring all team members to initiate them. If the focus is only on completing the activity, players can simply plant egregor resonators and eliminate enemies until reaching the boss.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the mechanics of a game level involving a countdown timer that dictates how long players have to complete the level, with the consequence of being teleported to the boss room if they fail. The pressure trials are randomized and include multiple steps and waves, with the timer not resetting between objectives. The difficulty increases with levels, each introducing specific modifiers like reduced health regeneration, fewer ammunition drops, and increased incoming arc damage. These modifiers change weekly. Players must be aware of smaller secondary objectives, such as destroying glowing pools and taking blights, which are scattered around the level. Main objectives include clearing commands and collecting items from specific enemies or structures. Additionally, they explain the fixed power level increments and stress the importance of completing tasks quickly due to the timer constraints.

In this segment of the video, the speaker provides strategies and tips for defending and managing various in-game drills and machinery, such as the drill eggore vane and the extractor’s power cells. Players need to deliver fuel cells to keep the drill operational and manage the extractor by refitting and repairing it. Multiple objectives are outlined, including defeating major enemies to summon mini-bosses and clearing them out, as well as activating and defending consoles spread across the map. Emphasis is placed on killing wrathful predators to extend mission timers and noting seasonal challenges that provide bonuses like heavy ammo crates.
The speaker also details the boss fight strategies, mentioning a reskinned version of Malok named Kilgrath and providing weapon recommendations for dealing Precision damage. Future boss encounters such as Kudazan and the servitor Jaw are briefly discussed with suitable weapon suggestions. Essential builds and class-specific tips are shared, highlighting the effectiveness of Lambert Titans, Warlocks for healing, and Void Hunters for invisibility.
Lastly, the commentator notes the presence of six collectible plants and lore items, advising viewers to check out additional linked resources for in-depth build guides.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the activity related to collecting items that will appear in your Helm aquarium, unlocking an exotic Ghost Shell. The speaker explains that in underwater traversal areas, there are two key items you need to collect before each level, which can be invisible and identified by a faint glow. The footage shows the locations of these items, and viewers are advised to use timestamps if they’ve already collected them.
Moving on, the reason for completing deep dives is discussed, primarily for acquiring Exotics and red borders. Tier VII deep dives are time-consuming, taking about 25 to 30 minutes, and reward players with two chests requiring deep dive keys. Lower tiers offer one Deep dive chest and another regular chest, which does not require a key. The speaker mentions inconsistent rewards from Tier VII chests, ranging from Exotics to nothing valuable, making the investment in time and keys potentially unrewarding.
For farming deep dive keys, a shadow Throne farm is recommended, detailed in their seasonal guide. However, for farming Exotics, Grandmaster nightfalls or specific low sectors are suggested as more efficient methods. The speaker relays frustration with the inconsistency of rewards and the effort required.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for obtaining seasonal red border weapons in a game, recommending farming “Deep Dives” as they are easier than “Grandmaster Nightfalls” despite the latter being more rewarding in terms of exotics and materials. The speaker mentions that Deep Dives are only worth pursuing if the player has keys and specifically wants red borders, noting that high-tier runs can be lengthy. Additionally, the speaker addresses a new exotic scout rifle rumored to arrive in week 10 but acknowledges uncertainty about its exact release date, leading to weekly checks at reset times. The video also highlights new achievements and secret tasks related to Deep Dives, suggesting that these might be connected to the new exotic mission for the season. The speaker encourages viewers to familiarize themselves with Deep Dives and hints at live streams for updates.
