PsiOps Missions are activities that put you up against some of the Lucent Hive’s highest-ranking enemies.
During these missions, you will be commencing Psionic Warfare against the Lucent Hive, making an attempt to subdue their powerful leaders.
With the help of these missions, the Vanguard’s coalition with the Cabal can lead to more answers as well as rewards.
What are PsiOps Battlegrounds Missions?
PsiOps Missions are either specific missions that can be found in their specific destination or through the PsiOps Battlegrounds playlist in the H.E.L.M.
These allow you to capture enemies through Psionic Warfare and provide you with rewards at the end (especially if you do playlist activities) to get more gear and other rewards.
At the end of PsiOps Battlegrounds playlists missions, you will be able to decode a Runic Chest, provided you have Psychogenic Intel.
List of PsiOps Battlegrounds Missions
There are a total of 3 different PsiOps missions that can be played, each of them having a recommended Power Level of 1400 if done from the playlist at the H.E.L.M.
Doing these missions separately by accessing their destinations will recommend a Power Level of 1350 but will not yield a Runic Chest at the end.
- PsiOps Battleground Cosmodrome – The Lucent Hive is using stolen Guardian Light for some wicked purpose. (Breach their stronghold and uncover their plot.)
- PsiOps Battleground EDZ – guardians have recently gone missing in the EDZ (Investigate their disappearances and hunt down the Lucent Hive responsible.)
- PsiOps Battleground Moon – The Lucent Hive has opened a portal between Savathun’s throne world and the Scarlet Keep. (Break up the portal ritual and prevent a full-scale invasion of Earth.)
