There is a level 28 match-making activity (similar to current RoC stikes) Then there are 3 non-match making activities (1) level 32 (1) level 34 (1) level 35 There are buffs during these missions 1 buff is called Brawler (it's basically reverse light-switch) There are critical objectives during the hoards (bombs that need to be defused, VIPs that need to be killed) There is a SCORCH CANNON (similar to the relic and the sword) It charges like a fusion rifle and has limited ammo The burns (like buffs) can randomly generate through each round (arc, solar, void) There are NO checkpoints, each time you wipe you start at the beginning of that round. If you all leave and return to orbit then all progress will be lost There are 5 rounds, each round containing 3 waves of enemies There are mines placed through the map (and they will be involved in the new story missions, they are a new Fallen dynamic). Mines are red buttons, when pressed explode then create an orb of "slowness" All weapons can be upgraded to 365 damage ***************** We run a live-stream where we have now helped our viewers beat over 400 Crota checkpoints on Hard Mode.
