Vex Strike Force Public event.

This activity never shows up. I have seen it literally 2 times and I play a lot. Also people are never around 2 help the 2 times I did see it. Almost impossible to solo. It's almost like this thing is a unicorn. Hope all is well in Bungie land. Later.

  • There's a chance for it to occur every hour between :45 and :15. Terminal Overload suppresses all other public events so I never bother checking when those overlap in the same region. Bungie hasn't announced a fix for the issue causing PS5 crashes yet.

    • I complete at least two a day EVERY day EXCEPT the days when the Term. Overload and Incursion zone overlap, in which case the vex strike event will not happen. Try paying more attention to the map maybe or just running bounties in that area. Since the final update it’s dropping locked exotics so now no need for grinding LS!

      I have stated before. They should have more events like this, but do a global announcement. "///ALERT ///ALERT: --- Distress signal incoming. All avaialble guardians are requested to report to *Destination* *Location*, enemy forces launching an offensive, we have to hold the line!" This is accompanied by a sound effect and the message plays down above your health bar. This occurs 15 minutes before an event goes live. You hear whoever the local vendor is when you arrive on site reporting on how long until the event goes live. For example incursion. You arrive in Neomuna and drop in. You hear Nimbus "Oh Guardian you have no IDEA how glad I am you're here. There's an incoming incursion in *x*, I'm trying to keep them locked down but they're tunneling around my firewalls as fast as I can throw them up. This is a DEDICATED ATTACK, what ever it is they're after, they can't get it. Please go to that area and await further instructions, hopefully you won't have to go it alone this time, but I gotta stay here and slow them down as much as I can." 10 minutes: "I can't hod them much longer, there's someone else coming right? Right?! The network IDs are showing some massive transfers here, you don't want to do this alone!" 5 minutes: come on come on COME ON! Isn't anyone else coming?! This is a matter of when, not if, I can't stop them! 10 seconds: AHHHHGHH! Guardian! They've shut down the last of my defennces, ready or not, here they come in Three, Two, O- *static* *Event goes live* You could do this with Failsafe on Nessus, Devrim in the EDZ, you probably need to skip the cosmodrome, that said giving new lights a peek at the powers they will wield in time might be a good motivator even if they get wrecked. Forget the dumb public event system they have now, create actual, real, world events. 15 minutes is enough time to finish most events so most players won't have to exit out of active events, except for raids, dungeons, etc, which most people aren't going to leave those events unless it's a consensus anyway. The problem with current public events is that they aren't just unrewarding, they feel dead. Unreal. It's just another way that destiny does not feel like a living world, it FEELS like just something scheduled to take place at certain times, no one calls for help, you're just there or you aren't. Destiny will never be an mmo no matter what certain deeply deluded people want to believe. This is not an MMO, and it nevr will be using an obsolete system like what is in use today. Hell, instead of weakly rotators of "what is worth doing this week" they could have surges to specific events "go do this for bonuses." but no...

        I believe Bungie started to place a event flag like every other publi event recently. Since that, checking the vex invasion zone for the flag has made me into the event 3 times these last 2 weeks. However, it doesn't matter because I keep crashing (PS5) like the beginning of the season, nothing has change in that matter, in adition to less people patroling Neomuna so it's even harder to take the minotarus down.

      • Completed it once, several other attempts crashed my ps5. Saw it yesterday with several players and it bugged out on the final encounter, none of the glowing enemies spawned to get the beams for the boss shields so it couldn't be finished. Whole concept is a dud.

        • Done it 4 times, crashed the first two times, no people for the third time so it timed out, and the only time I completed I got aeon grips (such a waste of time).

          • Hey everyone, we have this awesome activity that actually has decent rewards…. But we don’t want you to really play it. So we are going to make the activity so random. But if you do get lucky and see a event to start, we will make sure you are the only one there

            • Spent almost 3 hours in that area tonight. Not one of them. Bad enough you have to hang around so long to hope to get one, but there is also the chance of finally getting one and then being kicked completely out of the game near the end.

              • Someone made a discord bot that can tell you when one is happening. Dont think it can predict ahead of time, but apparently when the event is active it is active for EVERYONE so at least it is accurate no matter who/where you are.

              • Neomuna itself is a ghost town. I was in the vex incursion zone for half an hour yesterday to gain access to the weekly pinnacle mission and the entire time only one other person was there, and that person was afk.

              • All neomuna activities take a long time to do. Vex Force people tend to join at phase 2. Yes the spawn rate sucks. In the end, you're better off farming lost sectors for now. 5-9 min each, if you wait for the short masters it's a fairly good farm. Just make sure you're using a discipline ghost.

                • Most people don’t like going to Neomuna. I personally don’t. And it is very hard to get the event to spawn especially with other players around to help complete it.

                  • It reminds me of good ol escalation protocol. In its beginning. Joined it three times so far and couldn't finish it a single time. Either alone or max one or two other players present. You see the timer running out and know you can't make it. I believe 5-6 players were required minimum to have a realistic chance. But - who cares.

                      I've been playing fairly regularly this whole year and didn't even know Vex Strike force was a thing until a couple weeks ago because I saw it mentioned in a TWAB or something.

                    • I've only done it once. Had 7 or 8 people back in week 2 or 3 when everyone was under levelled. Everyone was dying left and right but we did it and I got a 💩 exotic useless armour with worse roll than xur sells. The next time it was on and I was the only one doing it. 2 other free roaming were afk or cba so I just left.

                      • I have seen it 3 times, completed it one time. It's just ridiculously stupid because I only ever saw 2 other players max when they showed up.

                      • I would say it’s a myth but I did finally encounter it, only for there to be a bug where it didn’t spawn the enemies that drop the craniums for one of the sets of minotaurs. So we couldn’t beat it. Then I heard the chest spawn noise but it was nowhere to be found and there was no marker for it.

                        • Completed it once. Got a 45 roll on something that ended up being instantly infused into something else.

                            Happens once a day, if you are lucky. Its funny to because Bungie said they buffed the chances for the event to occur. But then again I heard the buff'd drop rate for master lost sectors was only increased by 2%, soooo... A 2% increase on the vex strike force? Knowing Bungie if they were pressed to answer the question of its occurrence rate they would use their favorite buzz word "efficacy" or tell you a number with "~" next to it that has a larger then 5% discrepancy.
