How to start the We Stand Unbrokwn quest in Destiny 2 works
Access to We Stand Unbroken is withheld until you complete the first mission of the Destiny 2: Lightfall campaign. You will be pulled into some intro cinematics the first time you load Destiny 2 during this season. After that, you will be dropped into a mission.
It's a long trip that eventually delivers you to a public area in Neomuna on Nepture. Here, visit with your new friend Nimbus, a vendor representing Neptune's Cloudstriders. They will advance the Lightfall story, then offer you the Ascedent Scepter seasonal artifact.
This begins the Awaken, Queensguard quest. You will need to complete this for the We Stand Unbroken quest to begin.
The steps for this quest are:
1. Visit the holoprojector near Nimbus in Neomuna and Receive a message.
