Destiny 2 The Witch Queen: PsiOps Battleground Guide
Alongside Destiny 2's new expansion, The Witch Queen, comes a brand-new season called Season of the Risen. It's premiere playlist activity, PsiOps Battlegrounds, challenges you and a fireteam of up to three players to track down light-bearing Hive, sever their link to Savathun, and bring them back to the H.E.L.M.
You'll be repeating this playlist activity quite often throughout Season of the Risen, so it's important to understand the mechanics at play and the rewards it offers. If you're looking for information on the PsiOps Battlegrounds, including where it's located, how to complete it, and what you earn, we've got you covered.

You launch this activity for the first time from the EDZ. map as part of the Operation Elbrus seasonal quest. Start by hopping on your Sparrow and driving forward until you run the Hive. You'll need to defeat multiple waves of enemies here before you can progress, and many of the knights and thralls you'll encounter will be enhanced with light powers. Take special care to avoid the explosive moths. Everytime you eliminate an enemy empowered by light, that is, any glowing enemies that have overshields, they'll produce a moth when they die. The moth will either fly at your fireteam and explode, or fly to another host in order to empower them. Shoot these moths when they appear to prevent either scenario.
