Forge your own path and find your target

Every Great Hunt Campaign revolves around a nonlinear set of missions with a unique story to track down each boss. These campaigns can involve branching optional operations, and mutually exclusive choices. The decision you make can affect creature spawns, loot drops, unique crafting recipes, boss difficulty, and more.

Great terrors await

At the end of each hunt, new bosses unlock, each with new, unique powers, drawing essence from the exotics you’re here to extract.

Build and customize new Legendary Weapons

New materials dropped from the Great Hunt Bosses are highly valuable and sent back up to the Orbital Space Station for use in crafting new Legendary Weapons. Customize these powerful new weapons, each with 4 upgrade slots from 3 themed upgrade paths, leading to 81 unique combinations per weapon.

Unique Boss Arenas

Each of the Great Hunt Bosses can only be faced in their own domain, where the playing field tilts in their favor. These Arenas are hidden and will require your keen hunting skills to seek out their entrances across the wilds of Icarus.

More Great Hunts and Bosses over time

Icarus ‘Great Hunts’ Expansion will come with 3 Hunts to undertake right away, with one on Olympus, one on Styx, and one on Prometheus. As we update the base game and release more new content, we will continue to update the content and features provided by the Great Hunts Campaigns.
