You enter the Pit of Chains with your companions beside you, and it's not long before shambling hive trooper sense your presence. In the first big fight of the strike, you and your fellow guardians must hold off waves of foes as a nearby door slowly unlock. Your group gets separated and quickly overwhelmed. It's a wipe. However, a generous checkpoint system pops you right back at the start of the fight, and a modicum of teamwork is enough to win the day the second time around. With your foes defeated you tap the direction of the on your d-pad, and your guardian exhibits a cheering animation, which is returned by your buddies. Beyond the unlocked gate, you find a massive cavern filled with teaming hordes of hive soldiers, but this time you have more help. The area is a designated public space, so a couple of other fire teams join in as you work your way across the cave.
