Destiny 2: How to complete The Lie quest and obtain Felwinter’s Lie

With the Guardian Games over, there’s not much left on Bungie’s calendar for the rest of Destiny 2’s Season of the Worthy. Luckily, a surprise quest just made its way into the game, which will take a lot of time to complete.

The new quest, called The Lie, is a little mysterious at the moment. While there’s no end reward listed, a datamine indicates that completing it will give players Felwinter’s Lie. This legendary shotgun was a beloved Iron Banner reward in the first Destiny game. If you want the gun, you’ll need to prepare yourself for a long grind. Here’s what you need to know to complete The Lie.

When you start the game, head over to Mars and speak with Ana Bray. She’ll pass along a new task straight from Rasputin. The A.I. wants to gather data about the Seraph Towers, the new public events that were introduced in Season of the Worthy. If you haven’t opened all three bunkers yet, you’ll want to make sure you’ve done that.

Here’s where the grind comes in: Players will collectively need to complete 9,000,000 Seraph Tower events to get the next step. That means that each of the three Seraph Towers will need to be cleared 3,000,000 times. It’s a similar incentive that was used in last season’s Empyrean Foundation project, which brought Trials of Osiris back to the game.

UPDATE: This step is now complete, thanks to a slight scale back of the requirements. If you had the quest, you can now move on to the next step.

Vostok

With that nightmare over, head back to Ana Bray. She’ll send you on a new mission, which will require you to go to the multiplayer map Vostok. You’ll find it in your director, so you don’t need to load into Crucible games for this. This is a quick mission that requires you to find three energy signatures and listen to some dialogue. It’s a cakewalk compared to the other steps, so enjoy this change of pace while you can.

Get 1,000 shotgun kills

If you thought you were done with the grind, here’s some bad news: the next step requires you to get 1,000 shotgun kills. There’s no real trick here either; you just need to start killing. Focus on PvE activities that spawn a large number of enemies. Seraph Towers is a good place to grind if you’re not sick of it already. Otherwise, the Escalation Protocol event will give you a lot of thralls to kill. Equip your favorite shotgun, preferably one with a high rate of fire, and get to work.

Warmind Heuristics

This part was previously bugged, but a new hotfix has finally given players access to the final step. To complete this, head to Mars and talk to Rasputin. After that chat, interact with the Seraph Bunker door and you’ll enter a new mission called “The Tyrant.” This is fortunately pretty straightforward. You’ll follow objective markers and get a little bit of backstory about the Felwinter. After ducking through some vents, you’ll see a sarcophagus. Interact with it and you’ll finally obtain Felwinter’s Lie.

Make sure to pick this up before Season of the Worthy ends on June 9, as the quest will no longer be accessible after that date.

The best ship modules in Helldivers 2

While the majority of your success lies in which weapons and armor you carry when facing off against the Terminids and Automatons on various missions in Helldivers 2, you shouldn't overlook what your ship can do to support you. Besides just naming your destroyer, there's far more you can do to customize it with modules. Whereas weapons and Boosters will impact you and your squad on a more constant basis, ship modules come in clutch when you need to bring out the big guns, aka Stratagems. These power weapons are already enough to turn the tide of a tough fight, but when you add in the right ship modules, you'll be cooking bugs for breakfast.
The best ship modules in Helldivers 2
Ship modules are purchased on your ship via the Ship Management Terminal. There are 18 in total, split between the Patriotic Administration Center, Orbital Cannon, Hangar Ship, Bridge Ship, and Engineer Bay categories. They are unlocked by spending samples you can collect during missions.
Donation Access License

Look, sometimes you can't argue with simplicity, and the Donation Access License is about as basic as they come. This mod gives any support weapons you call in more ammo by default, granting you more time blasting and less time waiting to call in your next one. It is a versatile mod as well since it can be applied to multiple Strategems. It applies to things like the Laser Cannon, Grenade Launcher, Railgun, Flamethrower, and more.

The best armor in Helldivers 2

Armor sets in Helldivers 2 will affect more than just some stats and numbers behind the scenes. Just like your primary weapon, the type of armor you pick will dictate your playstyle and needs to be heavily considered before each mission. Each one comes with a different rating in three stats, plus there's a passive that makes it stand out, but all fall into either light, medium, or heavy roles. While the number of options isn't terribly overwhelming, comparing and contrasting all those stats and abilities on top of things like Boosters and Stratagems can become tedious. If you just want to get out there and blast some bugs, here are the best armor types to pick in Helldivers 2.
Best armor types
As of now, there are 19 different armor sets you can unlock with Medals and Super Credits, but more are likely to be added to the game in the future. When and if that occurs, we will update our rankings.
TR-9 Cavalier of Democracy

Especially when you're a fresh recruit in Helldivers 2, you can't go wrong with the Cavalier of Democracy if you happened to preorder the game. If not, it isn't a huge loss here since it is more of a great starter armor. It will give you very balanced stats for a medium build, with 100 Armor, 500 Speed, and 100 Stamina Regeneration. However, whether it's this one or any other you unlock early, make sure to get the Democracy Protects passive. This gives you a 50% chance to survive a lethal amount of damage and prevents bleeding damage from chest hemorrhages.
