With the update 2.2.2, Destiny 2 introduced a quest that leads you to a new exotic weapon. But apparently, there is more to it than just obtaining this weapon. What is behind the new quest Void Configuration?
What’s the new quest about: Since the weekly reset on May 7, Guardians can hunt the exotic pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak. The corresponding quest came with the update 2.2.2.
As part of this quest, Guardians must complete the mission “The Hour Zero” among other things. If one completes the mission, they receive the coveted weapon and a heroic version of the mission is unlocked.
In the heroic version, one can secure the masterwork catalyst for the new gun. However, it seems that there is even more to discover in the heroic version of “The Hour Zero.” Guardians have apparently stumbled upon another exotic quest – the Void Configuration.
The Void Configuration – How to Solve the Puzzle
What exactly has been discovered? In the heroic mission “The Hour Zero,” Guardians discovered a new item that apparently sends them on further multi-part quests.
Since the item is exotic, known as “Void Configuration,” fans assume that the reward will also be exotic. That has always been the case so far.
What do you have to do in “Void Configuration”?
Here’s how to start the new quest: As shown in the item description, you need to find three different key cards, collect SIVA Nanites, and use them to gain access to vault systems – all in one run.
- First, you must have completed the heroic version of “The Hour Zero” at least once.
- Then talk to the Drifter in the Tower. He will ask you to take something for him next time you run this mission.
- Start the heroic mission and proceed to the first gate, which is protected by a bluish energy barrier.
- To the left in the corner, on a shelf, you will find the data pad “Void Configuration,” which starts the new quest.
By the way: Even if the item says it disappears after 1 minute – don’t worry. You have the entire run to complete the steps. Only when you go to orbit will the item disappear.
Here’s how to find the blue key card: In the courtyard with the spaceship, you need to climb up to the roof as high as possible and then squeeze through a ventilation duct. Once you fall down, follow this video:
Here’s how to get the green key card: In the last room, right before the jump puzzle, you will find the next card. Follow the path in this clip:
Here’s how to get the red key card: The third and final key card can be found right after the jump passage. You enter a room where you need to turn left. In the rear right corner from your perspective, you will find a ventilation shaft where the red key card is hidden.
How to solve the complex vault puzzle
This is how you get in: Once you have all three cards, the vault opens, and you can enter. There, you must solve a puzzle where you have to read specific sequences at terminals and then activate the corresponding consoles.
This is the starting situation: In the room, you will find three terminals, as well as a total of seven side rooms with seven consoles each. One player should permanently occupy Terminal 1, another Terminal 2. The third Guardian will act as a runner.
What is important for you are Terminals 1 and 2. Most of the action takes place at Terminal 1, and Terminal 2 needs to be checked periodically, while Terminal 3 is (still?) irrelevant.
This is how you start the puzzle: To do this, use Terminal 1. You will see two blue circles with 12 segments each. After activation, a segment will be highlighted in yellow on each circle.
For better understanding, we have marked the segments with the numbers 1 to 12. The yellow segments will be crucial along with their respective numbers in the course of the puzzle.
The seven individual rooms each have seven consoles and are all structured as follows:
The numbering of the consoles is the same in each of these side rooms – as shown in this image.
This is how you solve the puzzle: Now read the numbers of the segments. Important: first the number from the left circle, then the one from the right. This gives you a number pair that you need to match in this table. It’s best to save the table so you can refer to it anytime.
If you now have, for example, the numbers 11 and 4, look at the table. Then slide to the right in the row with the corresponding combination. There you can read in which room the runner must go (color) and which console he should activate (number).
If the runner activates the correct console, the player at Terminal 1 can continue and activate it again. You have to repeat this 49 times until all 49 consoles have been activated in the correct order. The time keeps ticking, but for each successful activation, you receive extra time.
You will need the second terminal for this: When you go to the table, it may happen that the number combination appears multiple times and leads you to different rooms and other consoles – as shown in the lower image with 11 and 4.
If that’s the case, the player at Terminal 2 must relay their numbers and compare them with the second column behind 11 and 4. If Terminal 2 shows, for example, 5 and 4, then you know for sure: Red room, console 4.
By the way, you do not have to play through the mission for this. Once you have activated all 49 consoles, you will receive the reward for this puzzle.
A YouTuber, Venero TV, also provides an explanation of this puzzle in this video:
What is the reward? As a reward, you receive a repair schematic – apparently for a ship. Some fans speculate about the SIVA ship Nanophoenix from Destiny 1.
But you will need further runs until you have completed this repair schematic.
Additionally, you receive 67 SIVA Nanites and another 13% towards the progress of the masterwork catalyst of the Perfected Outbreak.
What’s next with the quest? The Void Configuration was the first of what is likely three steps towards the ship. The blueprints also require the completion of an Arc and a Solar Configuration.
Here’s how to master the Arc and Solar Configuration:
- Vault puzzle in Destiny 2 continues – here’s how to complete the Arc Configuration
- Complete Solar Configuration – Here’s how to get the exotic ship
Have you already discovered this quest yourself or perhaps even completed it? Would you like to see more of this?
