How to find the Avalon mission in Destiny 2
In order to earn Vexcaliber you must unlock and complete a secret mission called //node.ovrd.AVALON//, better known as Avalon.
To start the quest you need to visit The Gulch in the EDZ, and touch six Data Nodes. Once you touch the first node a timer starts, and you will have 30 seconds to hit the next node. They can be done in any order, and you can repeat your attempt if you run out of time.
The six Nodes are in these locations:
- One under the highway overpass near the fast travel point.
- In the Southeast corner of the map, in an upper area near a some logs.
- At the Northeast edge of the map, on a road sign above some destroyed road.
- At the Center of the North edge of the map, near some trees.
- Close to dead-center of the middle of The Gulch, near a grove of dead trees.
- Close to dead-center of the middle of The Gulch, near a grove of dead trees.
Once you’ve found all six nodes a portion of the sky will be filled with Vex data. Under this point is a cave. Enter it, and a Harpy will be waiting to start you on the //node.ovrd.AVALON, or Avalon mission.
The Season of Defiance is here alongside the We Stand Unbroken quest. You can also unlock two new weapons - the Vexcaliber and Deterministic Chaos - by completing The Variable and Unfinished Business. Don't forget to keep an eye on the Lost Sector and King's Fall challenge rotation schedule!
