In Destiny 2 there are new challenges in the current raid “The Oryx’s Vow.” We’ll explain what that is and, above all, how you can master the challenge “Quick Destruction.”
What is a raid challenge? All raids in Destiny 2 are a demanding group activity and are part of the endgame. Players face tricky puzzles together in raids, overcome jumping sections, and ultimately kill the toughest bosses, who will drop prestigious weapons and armor.
For those who find that not enough, they can face a so-called challenge in a raid. While they still involve the classic raid mechanics, they also limit certain play styles, requiring players to often adjust their team tactics to succeed.
All challenges usually take place in a specific raid encounter or phase. In the raid “The Oryx’s Vow” there are a total of four such encounters – jumping sections are excluded.
How to succeed in the challenge “Quick Destruction”
This is the first encounter: The raid challenge “Quick Destruction” takes place in the first phase of the Witch Queen raid “The Oryx’s Vow.”
Previously, you had to pick up special bounties from Hawthorne for this, but that has changed. The challenge is automatically active when the raid starts. You’ll see the relevant information in the lower-left corner when you start the raid.
To specifically complete the challenge “Quick Destruction,” you must defeat the three Unstoppable Champions that spawn at the three pillars simultaneously. If you fail to do that, you will receive the message “Challenge failed.” To try again, you can simply have everyone die to restart the encounter.

Tips for the challenge
Basically, the challenge requires good communication and the use of a Champion mod. Once a champion spawns, it should be communicated. The champions do not spawn at the same time, but when you defeat one of the Glyph Keeper in one of the rooms.
Occupy the champions until the others have spawned as well. It’s best to use a weapon with Unstoppable mod and something with which you can deal massive damage quickly, like a rocket launcher or directly with a damage super, which is your super ability.
Since Unstoppable Champions are very damage-resistant as long as they are not stunned, you should be prepared to break them multiple times and shoot them down repeatedly before you can kill them.
Also, keep in mind that the champions can disappear at the end of the respective rotation.
What rewards are there? If you successfully complete the challenge, in addition to the completion of the title plaque “Scholar-Killer,” you will also receive bonus loot. Besides the standard chest at the end of the encounter, another chest will appear shortly after. This chest also contains top-tier equipment. So it’s worth putting in the effort.
As each encounter offers you special loot, this means that for this challenge, you may obtain either the “Resonance Fury” helmet, the chest armor, or the leg armor, or the submachine gun “Submission,” the fusion rifle “Redemption,” as well as the linear fusion rifle “Catastrophic.”
Do you enjoy taking on such challenges to get extra loot, or is a normal run enough for you? If you have already mastered the challenge, we would appreciate it if you would share your experiences and let us know in the comments how difficult you found this challenge.
