Vesper’s Host Dungeon Mechanics

The dungeon incorporates mechanics from past raids and dungeons with unique twists. Understanding these core concepts is essential:

  • Augments:
    • Scanner: Identifies actionable panels.
    • Operator: Shoots identified panels in the correct sequence.
    • Suppressor: Uses holograms to disable invulnerable enemies.
  • Radiation Management:
    • Carry Nuclear Cores to deposit points while managing radiation stacks. Passing the core before reaching 10 stacks is crucial.
  • Augment Depots:
    • Refresh your augment timers at designated depots.

Spacewalk Armor Set


The Spacewalk Armor Set is a unique reward exclusive to the Vesper’s Host Dungeon. Each class—Hunter, Titan, and Warlock—receives their own version of this high-stat, visually striking armor. It provides excellent stat rolls tailored for endgame content and can drop from dungeon encounters or hidden chests. Perfect for enhancing your builds, the Spacewalk Armor Set is a must-have for Guardians seeking both power and style.
