The Holomap
The raid begins with the Fireteam flying dropping into the Botza District in the Cosmodrome. It is an exceptionally large urban area with many bulidings, alleyways and rooftop patios and allows for the use of Sparrows. The most notable building is the Schnell building with a neon light picture of a bunny. The team starts in one of the corners of the map and will make there way towards the center of the map to a set of Fallen tech. Behind that a Beserker class Fallen Captain mini-boss will be invisible unless at a close enough distance. The Beserker is immune unless the team shoots two spots, one on his chest and one on his back, while his suppression field is up and the Beserker is charging a powerful shot. This shot as a very good chance of a one shot kill. Once the shield is down and the Beserker killed, it will drop a Radiant Battery. The battery will only last for one minute and that timer does not reset when picked up, rather it is "inherited". The battery is then place in a in an energy station to officially begin the encounter. Once a Radiant Battery is place in an energy station, the player receives the "Ionized" Debuff, which makes it so the player cannot pick up another battery for two minutes.

Once the center energy station is activated, the Holomap will turn on. There is a elevated platform to view the map from. The Holomap will show you a 3D makeup of the Botza District, as well as the location of additional Beserkers and energy station locations indicate by the number of dots above each one, one top (Schnell) 1, right 2, bottom 3, left 4, and center (map) 5. There is a Wrath of the Machince timer on the top left piece of Fallen tech transmitting the map. If this timer runs out, the Holomap will detonate and the team will wipe. The team must locate a Beserker specifically marked on the map with a large multi-square beacon that follows its movements. Teams are usually one/two stay at map while four/five go after the Beserker. The team kills the Beserker and instead of one battery, two will spawn. One of these batterys will go to the map, the other will go to one of the four surrounding energy stations. Once a battery is picked up, it will appear on the map with a number of dots, indicating the correct energy station it needs to go to. Placing it in a wrong one will cause it to explode, killing the player and anyone close. Upon coming to an energy station, adds and two major servitors will spawn. The servitors must be since they are blocking access the the energy station. Once they are killed, the player with the battery places it into the energy station. This process must be done 4 times, or rather, the outside energy stations must be done 4 times (not each one, ex. you could put 3 batterys in top and one in left then the encounter is complete). The station in the middles adds time to the timer to stop the team from wiping. Once the encounter is complete, enter the cave where the last battery was placed to obtain a chest. One player must approached the chest to open it, then everyone is given there reward.

Insurrection Prime Phase 2
The final encounter of the raid combines elements of the first and previous encounters. As soon as the Berserker in front of the starting point is killed and the Holomap is charged, Insurrection Prime will rise from the center.

Loadouts are role-specific. One player must be assigned as a map reader, and another as a sniper. The rest should be grabbing the charges, and one person should be designated to drive the Drake Tank. The Holomap reader should have be equipped with close to medium range weapons. Hand cannons, pulse rifles, and shotguns are highly recommended. A sniper should be equipped with pulse rifle and a kinetic or energy sniper rifle. Everyone else should have the same loadouts as the map reader, but mid to long range weapons are recommended due to the large size of the map. Regardless of roles, it's recommended that everyone come equipped with Whisper of the Worm for the DPS phase.

As with the first encounter, the Holomap reader will call out where the Berserkers are, while keeping an eye out for jamming Servitors. Unlike the first encounter, there is only one that drops two batteries. The four runners must head to the Berserker's location, clear the adds surrounding him, and provoke him into exposing his weak points. After the Berserker is killed, two players will take their batteries to one of the three generators on the map. The other two should get ready with the next Berserker and wait for the battery holders to charge the generators and regroup, and then repeat with the next two players.

The sniper should be focused on destroying Insurrection Prime's shield generators. There are six total, and they are located on its knees, its shoulder blades, and its shoulders. They must work with the map reader to destroy the generators using Whisper of the Worm. At the same time, once the runners kill a Berserker, a Vandal will spawn. The sniper must switch to their secondary sniper and kill them quickly.

Once four batteries are deposited, one person must head to the top of the map and summon a Drake. All other players must move to the Holomap and get ready. The driver must shoot Insurrection Prime with the cannon in order to stun it. Once this is done, its cockpit will open and expose the pilot inside. The tank driver should regroup with the rest of the group for the damage phase.

After the first part of the DPS phase, Insurrection Prime will emit a pulse that will give all players one of three charges; Angular, Continuous, or Parallel. No more than two players will be affected by the same buff. Two players affected by the same charge must stand next to each other to increase their damage output. However, if they stand next to a player with a different charge, the next time the boss emits a pulse, both players will die. The easiest way to get into formation is to form a V, with Angular on the left, Continuous on the bottom, and Parallel on the right. The boss will repeat this three times, so watch for your buffs and get ready to move. If the boss does not go down in this damage phase, the group has to start from the top.
