Escalation Protocol

Notes on Escalation Protocol (EP):

• This content is from Year 1 Season 3's "Warmind" expansion. It is found on the Mars map and you can bring your own fireteam of up to 3 people while joining others in the area for a maximum of 9 participants. If you have 3+ people interested, try inviting others in the game area (blue name bars, or "blueberries") into your party chat. They may be willing to invite your friends into the instance to help expand your group.
• Power level 360+ recommended (easy since Forsaken power caps) to complete all 7 levels.
• Weapon rewards and final bosses rotate weekly (see chart under video)
• The 3 EP weapons (IKELOS Shotgun, Sub-machine gun and Sniper rifle) will randomly drop from the final boss depending on the week you're playing in. There are no guaranteed drops, but you can complete a Level 7 boss then start the event back up shortly afterwards to go back to Level 6. This helps reduce the grind for the weapons.
• You will need all 3 EP weapons to complete the Sleeper Simulant catalyst when you get it from the Prestige mode Spire of Stars raid.
