Farm the weekly featured raid challenge

Raid encounters offer activity-specific loot, and weekly challenges add a defined objective and payout.

PC / Global, including Monument of Triumph (Update 9.7.0)

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Raids and Dungeons in the Director; Vanguard Alerts show the weekly raid challenge.

Use the Director and Vanguard Alerts to identify the featured raid and its listed challenge. Raid rewards belong to their activity’s loot pool, so confirm that the preview includes your target before assigning roles and starting a clear. Complete the encounters, collect eligible drops, and check the challenge panel before deciding whether another run serves your goal. A raid is a coordinated endgame activity, so agree on encounter roles and mechanics before launch. The activity’s gear is a chance-based reward, while challenge payouts may be limited by their displayed eligibility.

Agree on encounter roles before launch to help the fireteam progress through mechanics.
