Destiny 2 Bastion Exotic Quest Guide: How To Get The New Fusion Rifle

The Destiny 2 community has spent the last week figuring out a massive puzzle as part of a new secret quest that sent everyone back to the strange Corridors of Time. With that out of the way, a new Exotic quest has been unlocked–one that leads to a new Fusion Rifle called Bastion. Solving the puzzle allows you to advance the quest, and you can unlock the gun now with a little grinding, ahead of its scheduled release on January 28.

To get the gun, you’ll need to head to the Tangled Shore and complete a number of steps. None of them is particularly difficult. First, though, you’ll need to deal with the Corridors of Time. Here’s everything you need to do to get Bastion right now. It’s also worth noting that if you want to wait, Saint-14 will have the Bastion quest in his inventory starting with the weekly reset on January 21. That will allow you to safely skip the Corridors of Time portion of this guide–although you’ll miss out on a bit of story content if you do.

Solve The Corridors Of Time

First and foremost, you’ll need to finish the quest “Explore the Corridors of Time.” Visit Osiris to get the quest, then use the panel beside him at the Sundial to access the Corridors. There are a lot of things you can get in there, including lore and a special secret emblem. Check out our complete Corridors of Time guide to see how. You’ll want to grab all that stuff before you do your final run to complete the quest.

When you enter the Corridors, head through the first door to enter a room with five different exits. Each one has a signpost beside it with a symbol. To finish “Explore the Corridors of Time,” you’ll need to go through the doors in a specific order to reach the Timelost Vault. This is the puzzle the Destiny 2 community has been working on for the last week, and all that effort has revealed a 30-symbol code that will lead you through the maze.

Go through the doors in this order to finish the quest:

1. Clover
2. Diamond with three plants
3. Snake
4. Clover
5. Plus sign
6. Plus sign
7. Interlocking hexagon
8. Interlocking hexagon
9. Interlocking hexagon
10. Plus
11. Diamond
12. Plus
13. Snake
14. Diamond
15. Clover
16. Snake
17. Plus
18. Plus
19. Snake
20. Snake
21. Hexagon
22. Diamond
23. Clover
24. Plus
25. Diamond
26. Hexagon
27. Hexagon
28. Diamond
29. Plus
30. Diamond

Once you reach the Vault, access it and listen to Saint-14’s dialog to receive an item called a Chronometric Core. Return to Saint-14 to turn in the core and receive the next step of the quest, “A False Refraction.”

Note that you’ll want to complete the “Explore the Corridors of Time” quest on whatever character you previously completed the other Osiris quests on to save Saint-14. If you complete the Corridors on another character, try switching to the one that completed the previous quests, which should bring up “A False Refraction” in Saint-14’s vendor inventory.

A False Refraction

Next, head to the Tangled Shore. You’ll need to start by killing five Fallen Servitors and Captains to gain Fallen Intel. You should be able to find all five pretty quickly in the Thieves’ Landing area. After that, head to Spider for the next step, called “Memento.”

Backroom Brawl

Speak to Spider and he’ll send you after a Fallen Captain called Aksiniks. You’ll find him in the Thieves’ Landing Lost Sector called The Empty Tank, which is right next to the Spider’s area. Head inside and clear the Lost Sector like usual; you’ll find Aksiniks in the arena near where you’d usually fight the Lost Sector boss.

With Aksiniks down, return to the Spider for the next step in the quest.

A Strong Arm

Now you’re on to the grinding portion of the quest. You’ll need to clear 10 of Spider’s bounties, while also killing 30 Challenging enemies and finishing eight Public Events on the Tangled Shore. Those should go pretty quickly. Both daily Spider bounties and his Wanted bounties work for this step, including those Wanted bounties that take you to other planets.

Rude Awakening

Now that you’ve raised some havoc, Spider will have gained the information you need about your next step. You’re looking for a gravesite hidden in the Trapper’s Cave Lost Sector, which is located in the Tangled Shore’s Four-Horn Gulch area. Head into the Lost Sector and continue until you hit the room with the waterfall, which is filled with Cabal Legionaries and Psions. Clear the room and drop down to the bottom of the waterfall, then turn left and face the wall.

You should see a gassy blue Ether trail leading to the gravesite. Interact with it to get the next step in the quest, but be careful–you’ve just triggered a Scorn ambush.

Altered Chief

With the Altered Chief item in hand, you’re ready to track down the Scorn Chieftain you’ve been hunting this whole time, and the weapon he took from Saint-14. Check the Tangled Shore map in the Director and you should see a new version of the Strike called The Hallowed Lair, marked “The Hallowed Lair, Memento.” That’s your next destination.

You’ll find the Memento version of The Hallowed Lair is pretty much identical to the regular version of the Strike, with one key difference. In the final battle with the Fanatic, look for an Elite Scorn Chieftain enemy named Defiled Reysk, The Waning Light. Kill him and complete the Strike to get the last step in the quest. Return to Saint-14 and claim your Bastion.
