In this part of the video, the presenter discusses “Deep Dives,” a new three-man activity introduced in Season of the Deep. They outline how Deep Dives have evolved over the weeks, starting with a simple level and boss fight in week one, two levels and a boss in week two, and finally progressing to three levels and a boss in the current week. The activity duration is approximately 20 minutes and offers high-tier rewards if players complete specific challenges. The guide highlights the importance of selecting appropriate intrinsic bonuses from floating black orbs at the start and before each level to enhance gameplay. Players need to navigate through levels, solve minor tasks like opening doors using sound cues, and activate “pressure trials” by locating and initiating taken orbs at each level for additional rewards.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains key mechanics and strategies for completing a specific game activity called the “Deep Dive.” Players are given a limited time to finish each level, with failure resulting in immediate teleportation to the boss room and reduced rewards. The levels feature multiple objectives and waves, with a non-resetting timer representing the remaining time to complete the level. Each level includes random “pressure trials” and additional modifiers, increasing in difficulty each week. Key modifiers include reduced health regeneration, decreased ammunition drops, and increased incoming arc damage. The gameplay involves completing random objectives, such as standing in glowing pools, destroying AOE damage orbs, and shooting blights. The main goals include collecting fossilized coral from killed enemies and managing added challenges efficiently.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies to defend drills and complete objectives such as delivering fuel cells, defending and reclaiming Vanguard machinery, and defeating mini-bosses and powerful enemies. Key tactics include killing wrathful Predators to gain extra time, completing seasonal challenges to spawn special ammo crates, and using specific builds and weapons for different bosses. The importance of survivability and healing in higher difficulty tiers is emphasized, with recommendations for Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the mechanics of collecting hidden items in the underwater traversal areas, which are necessary to unlock an exotic Ghost Shell. They highlight that most of these items are invisible, identified only by a faint glow. They mention the approximate time it takes to complete tier VII deep dives (25-30 minutes) and the rewards involved, such as two chests that require deep dive keys, though the rewards can sometimes be underwhelming. The speaker advises that farming Grandmaster Nightfalls or targeting low sectors might be more efficient for obtaining exotics compared to the investment required for tier VII deep dives. They also reference a seasonal guide for farming deep dive keys and discuss the variability and challenges in farming for specific exotics.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides guidance on farming red border weapons and compares the efficiency of different farming methods, specifically highlighting deep dives and Grandmaster nightfalls. They emphasize that deep dives are the best route for red borders, especially if you have keys, but for farming exotics and materials, Grandmaster nightfalls are preferable due to double loot and quicker runs. They also discuss the anticipation of a new exotic scout rifle, hinting at its potential release dates and its likely connection to deep dives. Despite the uncertainty, the speaker suggests familiarity with the deep dive activity due to its intricate links to future content. Additionally, they mention their live-streaming schedule for updates and community engagement.
