In the Season of the Deep, players travel to Saturn’s moon of Titan while investigating a distress call. There, players can complete the new six-player Salvage activity by collecting materials and gear that will permit them to go diving into the sea. During these Deep Dives, players can recover valuable Golden Age technology and earn greater rewards the further they dive, like seasonal chest keys and gear.
Like previous seasons, players will be able to access new seasonal quests to complete each week but can complete these quests at any time of the season. Most of these seasonal challenges will involve progressing the seasonal plot, completing the seasonal activities, and completing other activities across the system.
