Whiteout Run
Europa, Cadmus Ridge into Bray Exoscience · Fireteam of 3 · About 22 min
A House of Salvation Brig column is grinding up Cadmus Ridge to crack Bray Exoscience for Exo tech. Bleed its clock at three siphon sites, ride the ridge lift ahead of it, and break the Brig inside the lab before the doors seal.
Mechanics
- 01Convoy clock: the column reaches the lab doors in 8 minutes. Each siphon site cleared adds 2 minutes. At zero the doors seal with the team outside and the strike fails.
- 02Ether cores: every siphon drops a core relic that must reach the lift plate at the ridge top. Carrying a core disables sprint and jumping, so teammates screen the carrier from Vandal snipers.
- 03Servo plate: the Brig is immune until both leg servos break, and servos are only vulnerable while a Guardian stands on the lab console plate. The console ejects you after 10 s, so alternate.
Phases
- 1
Siphon Sites
Three crews on the ridge, each tethered immune to a Servitor. Kill the Servitor, clear the crew, pick up the core. The convoy clock runs from the first shot.
- 2
The Ridge Lift
Deliver three cores to the lift plate. Only mounted cores power it, so a dropped core has to be re-carried. The lift rises once all three are set, with Fallen leaping aboard.

Exoscience Approach
Vex hold the halls. A Hydra blocks the lab door and its shield rotates; damage it through the gap while Harpies chase the team down the corridors.
- 4
The Lab
The Brig and its Captain. Break both servos from the console plate for a 20 s damage window each. If the convoy clock hits zero here the doors seal and the encounter resets.
Why it works in Destiny
Cadmus Ridge already flows into Bray Exoscience and the Fallen against Vex fight inside it is established, so no new geometry or story is needed. A countdown that objectives extend, relic carries to a plate and a boss gated by a console are all editor primitives. Strikes are the right first format for a Community Playlist because they are short, self-contained and easy to review.
