Strikes and public events. Strikes- One new strike will be added. Name- [insert good strike name here] Who ever survived in the campaign Variks or cayde will be the commander for you in the strike. It starts off with you going to earth. As you spawn the Grand Canyon is visibl. Along with explosions and gun fire in the distance. As well as the sky being filled with ships, explosions, smoke, and 4 massive ketches. Variks/Cayde: We have found a major SIVA stronghold near the Grand Canyon. And have started attacking it. Problem is they have a huge AA gun on top of the canyon. We need you to deal with it and help our air support. Ghost: Got it. House of betrayed has given us some pikes to help get us there. Next section is just a long stretch through the bottom of the canyon with enemy pikes trying to stop you. Along the way you can find an SRL banner as well as two destroyed red jacks. Scanning them causes this voice line to play. Ghost: I wonder if shaxx and Amanda have tried to make this an SRL track. Once you arrive. you are right below the AA gun. Ghost: Okay... how do we climb this cliff. Variks/Cayde: Already covered. A skiff will come down and drop off a spider walker. Variks/Cayde: We have modified this tank and got rid of its central AI. Which means you get to drive. Ghost: This is gonna be a bumpy. Of the 3 people in your fire team you can decide who controls what. One person controls the cannon Another uses the grenade launcher. And the last one uses the mini gun on the bottom. The tank will slowly walk up the cliff during which multiple splicer walkers and shanks will try to stop you. Everyone ones health bar will be replaced with the tanks health. Once you make it to the top you abandon the walker and move towards the base. Once you make it you plant the bomb on the base of the AA gun. Then an 8 minute timer starts. (The fallen then get triggered and are all like... A BOMBS BEEN PLANTED ON OUR AMMO SUPPLY!! *not really*) Five seconds after you plant it, you hear a screech that sounds like a prime servitor as well as a loud booming voice speaking in fallen language. Ghost: hmm translating... "These memories in my mind are not my own. They belong to a past version of myself, a different being entirely. ~consume enhance replicate~ One who could die. ~consume enhance replicate ~ I am that no longer. ~" The last time I heard that Phrase was during... the... Siva Crisis. Oh no. Two large spider-like legs rise from the edge of the canyon followed by the other half of the creature. You are then staring into the eyes of... AKSIS PRIME, REBORN! Also right behind him is SEPIKS UNDYING! So yeah, Just like sepiks prime, the raid boss also gets a revive. Because why not. So how do you kill them. You don't. The objective says survive. (boss fight music will be "Mastermind theme" from crysis 3 because crysis is amazing.) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=21UEOM6bOg4 So just Fight of hordes of enemies while dodging attacks from AKSIS and SEPIKS. Once the timer for the bomb goes off the gun gets destroyed. Ghost: Amanda, the guns are down. Move in to attack. Also, request a bombing on our position. Amanda: Okay... better get to cover. Multiple locations will appear on your hud. You will have limited time to get there and take cover. Tons of bombs will rain down on top of you. SEPIKS dies but Aksis survives. Ghost: how did he survive that? Amanda: Well if that didn't work then let's try something... subtle. Amanda gets as low to the ground as possible and full speed drives his ass of the cliff. Ghost: Wow. Well I guess that's one way to do it. Then the chest spawns and you get loot. Yay. Strike specific loot is, the Does Not Bow and some other new stuff. Amanda: Guardian I'm seeing movement in the canyon. Looks like the fall didn't kill it. But it sure sent him running. Ghost: This won't be the last we see of him. (Yes this is cannon raid stuff and don't worry he is not the raid boss.) (I wanted to make this strike feel different from the regular "go here and kill this guy" Strikes. I wanted to try a strike were the boss is invincible.) Public events. One public event appears on every planet regardless if you have the DLC. A very large group of fallen spawn in an open area. There are several nodes taking control of them. To start the event shoot all the siva nodes and free the fallen. The fallen will ally with you. Then the entire area gets covered in a red haze and you and the fallen fight hordes of splicers. Very fitting music starts to play. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RyUiu_2jjP8 (Like the halo reference?) Then a circle appears. Ghost: we should put a beacon down to call in our ship, air support would be very helpful. Defend the beacon until it reaches 100% to make the event heroic. Ghost: The fallen can handle the rest down here. We need to find where they are coming from. Everyone involved gets teleported in their ship in the planets orbit fighting a Siva ketch. Once it's destroyed you are sent back to ground. A group of fallen are standing next to the chest. Grab your loot and be on your way. Two tokens and blue. So this is the last one for now. Still working on raid, and Cayde vs Zavala cutscene.
