Found the internet!

The enemies are level 740 and I'm 1013, I should not be getting destroyed by simple taken phalanxes. Furthermore, it's almost impossible to solo because without being able to throw the orbs to another player, they only damage about half the shields. Does Bungie not understand that some people play games on their own? I hate how powerlevel means absolutely nothing other than to lock you out of content.

level 1

That’s literally the whole game. They can’t ever let the player feel powerful. None of the the endless grinding ever amounts to anything more than unlocking more content with more low level mobs that can grind you into the dirt. You never get to feel like a hero. Particularly since they keep “sun setting” story content that did make you feel , maybe not powerful, but at least consequential in the overall narrative.

level 1

Something to do with the scaling they put in place so that old content is still "challenging".

level 1

Or 1224. Took a long break from the game, came back with Beyond Light and got this quest, figured I'd do it for the exotic and I'm getting railed by all the enemies

level 2

Same. I took a long break from D2 after getting fed up with the little annoyances that became big annoyances. This instantly makes me want to put it back on the shelf.

level 1

It sucks... no one wants to play it, and I'm stuck getting trashed even thought I'm like 1235 now.. ugh

level 2

same - I swear bungie has a vendetta against people who do things solo

level 1

It's not meant to be done solo. Your light level advantage is capped, so it's going to feel the same whether you're 750 or 1050.

level 2

Good to know. I just finished step 3 solo and was wondering why everything was basically one shotting me.

level 1

Im at 1314 and i cant even get through the second part of the city

level 1

Bungie has a vendetta against its players… period. Honestly I’m tired of grinding up light levels and still getting killed just as fast by enemies…why because the enemy levels raise with mine. It’s fucking trash.

level 1

This quest is bull. Exactly why i quit playing destiny last time

level 1

I got to the part right before Calum's grave with the floating lantern solo. I just can't beat that miniboss

level 1

I am 1590.. content shows as 1350. Its a joke. Thanks Bungie for making a game only for the few.

Destiny 2 is full of missions to complete and side quests to conquer. One particular set of side quests stand out as Destiny 2's most challenging content and the most sought after quests to complete by players: exotic sidequests.

Exotic sidequests are scattered throughout Destiny and vary in their difficulty. Usually, each quest rewards you, the player, an exotic weapon or armour piece upon completion. One of these quests is the darkness in the light exotic side quest. This article will provide a guide on how to complete the mission.

This article will cover:

What is the Darkness in the Light Side Quest?

The Darkness in the Light side quest is an exotic side quest first obtained by talking to the Drifter in the Tower after unlocking the Gambit and completing the prologue missions of the game. The quest is relatively easy to get but is challenging to solve. The mission rewards you with the exotic weapon Malfeasance, an exotic hand cannon that is considered one of the better hand cannons in the game.

Although this weapon pales compared to handguns such as Thorn and Ace of Spades, the gun is still an excellent choice for PVP and PVE due to its special perk known as the explosive shadow.

Explosive shadow is a perk that shoots slugs that stack, leading to an explosive impact if enough are stacked. Thus, the quest is well worth doing to add a powerful hand cannon to your collection.

How to Complete the Quest

To complete the quest you first have to talk to the Drifter, a mysterious character located at the very depths of the Tower. Upon talking to the NPC, you should have gained a new questline. The quest is split into several different parts.

You can complete these parts in the following steps:

1. The Seething Heart: Talk to the Drifter in the Tower.
2. City of Secrets: Defeat 25 Taken mini-bosses in the dreaming city, no other NPCs count.
3. The corrupted: Help the Drifter to track the thief who stole from him. To do this, you need to complete the strike—the corrupted, which is found in the dreaming city. During the quest, find Callums grave and pick up the depleted weapon core.
4. Depleted weapon core: Once you have picked up the depleted weapon core, head back to the Drifter and give him the core.
5. Business as usual: To complete this section of the quest, you need to jump back into Gambit and play a few matches. You need to deposit 400 dark motes and win 10 games.
6. Lights out: For this section, stay in Gambit and either defeat an enemy invader 3 times or invade and kill 25 guardians during Gambit matches.
7. Dark Weapon Core: After completing the missions in Gambit, head back to the Drifter and speak to him. After talking to him, he will reward you with the gun Malfeasance.

Why is the Darkness in the Light Side Quest Important?

Completing the Darkness in the Light Side Quest is essential if you want to be one of the very best Destiny 2 players. Finishing the quest will grant you one of the best hand cannons in the game, Malfeasance. Malfeasance not only will increase your skill and ability in PVP modes within the Crucible but also during PVE missions such as strikes and Nightfalls.

The gun may also be helpful in higher-level content such as dungeons and raids. Although it is often overshadowed by more popular firearms such as the Ace of Spades, the weapon is heavily underrated by players and should be used more by the community.

The gun can elevate your gameplay to the next level and thus should be taken advantage of. Nevertheless, this weapon may not be for everyone but will be a fine addition to the collection. So you should complete this quest regardless.

Final Thoughts
