I experienced the same with New Monarchy. I remember this was an issue during TTK and the answer was to [i]not[/i] equip the spectar faction class item, but use the original year two faction class item. I believe the quest only recognizes the original year two class item - and that means it [i]doesnt[/i] recognize the year 3/RoI class item, just like it didn't recognize the year 2 spectar class item. I can't test this theory, unfortunately, because I don't have any of the year 2 class items.

[quote]So I just got to rank 25 for Dead Orbit and I'm wearing the shader, emblem and the class armor (not spektar. the new one) and I've done a few strikes on the correct playlist and won some crucible matches but nothing goes to the quest. I'm stuck at 0% for everything. Help?[/quote] Same idk why it wont work. Im trying to do it on my hunter but nothing. I done it on my titan bf takenking came out but it is not working on my hunter.
