Explore, Hunt & Craft!

Open Worlds

Traverse massive Landscapes dense with secrets.

Against a canvas of endless conflict, holdouts of civilization remain. Explore open world areas like the ghostly Plains of Eidolon and the Cambion Drift on the infested moon of Deimos. Each is dense with wildlife, precious gems and even fish for you to hunt and collect!

Syndicates

Make powerful friends… and enemies.

Aid unique Syndicates — like the friendly Ostron of Cetus and the hardworking Solaris of Fortuna — to earn their trust and purchase rewards with Standing. Complete their open world Bounties to earn daily Standing and gain access to more wares.

You can also pledge yourself to one of six major Syndicates from your Orbiter or any public Relay. Play to earn Standing you can use to show your loyalty and purchase new gear. Be wary, though. All six of these factions come with a rival which won’t appreciate your efforts…
