On Mars, there are some secrets to uncover in Destiny 2 with the “Warmind” DLC. We will show you what the Override Frequencies are and how to open the hidden Sleeper Nodes.
With the Warmind DLC, some secrets and collectibles returned to Destiny 2. One of them is the floating chests, Sleeper Nodes, which can be found all over Mars. To open these, Override Frequencies are needed, but there is no explanation in the game on how players can obtain them.
We will show you what the Override Frequencies and Sleeper Nodes are and what special items can be found in the hidden boxes.
How to open the Sleeper Nodes
Where can I get the Frequencies? Once you complete the Warmind campaign and the following world quest “Data Recovery” on Mars and have obtained the IKELOS_HFW_V1.0.1 from Ana, you will receive, in addition to the first step for the Sleeper Simulant, another quest.
Dawning Dusk prepares you for the search for the Sleeper Nodes. You need to open 15 of these music boxes for a step towards the Sleeper Simulant on the red planet.
For the quest, you need to complete three patrols and one Lost Sector on Mars. Afterwards, you will receive Resonance Stems, from which four stems can always be combined into an Override Frequency.
Throughout the quest, the stems now drop from many different sources on the red planet, such as from high-ranking targets, patrols, challenges, public events, and Lost Sectors.
Frequencies are random
What are Override Frequencies? You need the Override Frequencies to open the Sleeper Nodes. Each frequency is assigned to a specific box. When you hover over the Override Frequency item in your inventory, you will receive a small hint on where the sought box is located. With the correct code, the nodes can be opened multiple times.
When you get close to the box for which you have the matching frequency, you will be able to hear classical music. This will get louder as you approach the box.
How many boxes can be found on Mars? A total of 40 Sleeper Nodes are hidden on the red planet. Which code you are assigned for which box when creating the Override Frequencies is random. For the quest steps of the Sleeper Simulant, it does not matter if you have opened some music boxes multiple times. Only 15 Sleeper Nodes count in total for the weapon.
However, you will receive a badge that allows you to check the Sleeper Nodes you have opened. Since it is random which frequency you receive, you should be kept busy with the task for quite a while.
What do you get for opening 40 boxes? Some players have already opened all 40 nodes and were awarded the legendary emblem Warminded for it. There is speculation on Reddit whether the 40 Sleeper Nodes could also be part of a larger quest line or a mystery that will be revealed later, such as the further progression of the Dawning Dusk quest line.
The items obtained from the boxes also seem to be determined by chance. Most of the time, you will find blue items and shaders in the Sleeper Nodes. However, there is also special loot that might make the grind worthwhile for you:
- BrayTech schematics, through which you can obtain War Mind Engrams
- Ship Alpha Umi
- Sparrow G-693 Orchestral Maneuver
