Alright people, I know how creative this community can get. I also know how thirsty for new endgame content we all are. We've gotta have some ideas for our own raids by now, so let's hear it! You don't have to design a full raid. Just an encounter if you choose. But feel free to post an entire raid, with backstory and rewards and everything if you please! Alright, here goes my attempt, for now it's just 1 encounter but I'll see if I can expand on it later. ----------------------------------------- [u][b]Cabal Raid[/b][/u] [u]Location:[/u] Cabal Fleetbase, Phobos Encounter is located in a large room with spawn gates all around the edges of it. There are 4 glowing plates around the room in a circle, all equidistant from each other. There are various bits of cover around the room but nothing incredibly substantial. You walk into a room with a few various Cabal soldiers in it. Clear them out to start the encounter. When all soldiers are dead, the room begins to rumble and a Cabal Valus bursts through the roof into the center of the room, breaking the entire roof and revealing a smoky sky above. The Valus is shielded and the shield is immune to damage. His weapons are a solar cannon somewhat similar to the Sleeper Simulant, which he fires infrequently but it does a massive amount of damage. It will say he is "charging up" when he is about to fire it. He will fire at a Guardian in his sight. He also has an arc gauntlet that he slams into the floor and releases a shockwave in a small area around him in case a Guardian gets to close. A substantial group of Cabal will emerge from spawngates all around the room. A Shieldbearer and a Bracus will spawn on opposite sides of the room from each other. The Bracus also has immunity shields. Killing the Shieldbearer will make him drop the Relic, his modified Phalanx Shield. The Shield will work similar to the Vault of Glass Aegis, but movement speed is slightly decreased and blocking with it will only protect from the direction you are facing and will only protect you and you are immobile while blocking. Kill the Shieldbearer and collect the Relic. When the Valus charges his shot, block the shot with the Relic (so make sure the Relic Holder is the only one in the Valus' sightline when charging). This will Supercharge the Shield, which will fire a bolt of energy when the Super is used. Use the Super to take down the Bracus' shields. The Relic will disappear. Killing the Bracus will trigger the Valus into jetpacking up into the smoke above the arena. In 10-25 seconds, he will come back down, on top of a randomly selected player. The player he is targeting will get a ring around them about 2 seconds before the Valus lands to show where he will land and vacate the area (no other player can see this ring but the one targeted). If somebody is underneath the Valus when he lands they will be killed instantly. When the Valus lands, he will release a shockwave that travels across the arena on impact with the floor. Jump over the shockwave to survive; if you don't you will be killed. When the Valus jumps up into the air, make him smash down on one of the 4 glowing plates. (To make sure he lands on one of the plates, have all Guardians standing on them. But if a plate is being shared with other players and you are chosen to be landed on, they will not know and you must call it out so they do not die) When a plate is landed on it will release a massive amount of arc energy, which will take the light out of the plate and down the Valus' shields and stun him, allowing you to do damage. After 20 seconds his shield would come back, and you would rinse and repeat. Enrage would be after the Valus makes 6 leaps and is not killed or after all 4 plates are used up and he is not killed. Enrage would make the Valus release a shockwave, but it would keep the floor electrified and would therefor cause all players to die. On Hard Mode, there are obviously no respawns. The Valus would also fire his rail gun faster and only 1 plate would be lit up at a time. Enrage would also happen on 5 jumps without a kill instead of 6.
