Dungeons

Dungeons are 3-player PvE activities with no matchmaking, and are similar to raids.

Overview

Dungeons feature bosses and complex mechanics. They often include platforming segments, as well as puzzles. While they are generally intended for fireteams of three, dungeons can be completed alone, with some Triumphs and rewards requiring a solo completion to earn. Dungeons do not use the revive token system found in raids, allowing teammates to respawn themselves after a certain amount of time passes. Solo players can only revive themselves when respawns are not restricted. There are checkpoints at certain sections and encounters, which allow players to leave the dungeon and continue from the checkpoint when they return. However, players attempting certain Triumphs, such as solo or flawless completions, must play through the dungeon in a single session.

All dungeons released from Grasp of Avarice onward feature the Master difficulty level. This adds additional modifiers, such as Match Game and Champions, and has a higher recommended Power Level that increases with each Season. Encounters completed on Master difficulty can drop armor, Enhancement Prisms, Ascendant Shards, and Adept Weapon Mods. Armor dropped from dungeons on Master difficulty will have the Artifice Armor perk, granting an extra slot where a mod from the current Seasonal Artifact can be equipped.

Rotation

As of the Season of the Haunted, raids and dungeons use a rotator system that affects how often rewards can drop from each activity, as well as whether or not Master difficulty is available.

The newest dungeon will drop Pinnacle rewards once per week from each encounter, per character. Until the next dungeon is released, this dungeon will have no reward lockouts, allowing it to drop rewards every time an encounter is completed, and Master difficulty will always be selectable.^[1]

All older dungeons are placed into a weekly rotation, cycling in order of release. In-game, the current week's dungeon will be marked with a weekly challenge; completing its final encounter will grant a Pinnacle Gear drop, once per character. All reward lockouts are removed for this dungeon, allowing its encounters to be farmed repeatedly for drops. Master difficulty can also be selected for the weekly dungeon. The other dungeons will only drop rewards from each encounter once per character, and will not offer Master difficulty as an option.^[1]

Rewards

Rewards from dungeons are based on a number of factors, including the weekly raid rotation, which weapons and armor have been unlocked on your account, and whether you have previously completed a certain activity on your character or account this week.

The weekly dungeons rotation includes all dungeons currently in the game, except for the most recently released dungeon, in release order. The rotation generally starts with the oldest dungeon when a season is released, and rotates with the weekly Tuesday reset. Currently, that rotation is:

Dungeon secret chests will reward a piece of dungeon gear, either a weapon or an armor piece for your current class, that you have already unlocked in collections, once per character per week.

Dungeon encounters will each reward a piece of dungeon gear (and Artifice Armor if an encounter was completed on Master difficulty). Most dungeons have specific weapons and armor pieces assigned to drop from each encounter; the entire loot pool may not be available from any specific encounter. These rewards apply to the first clear per character per week. Rewards for repeat clears are only available for the currently active dungeon in the weekly rotation. The newest dungeon is another exception,

Dungeons beginning in Duality also has a puzzle that when solved correctly, will cause the dungeon Exotic's associated catalyst to be dropped.
