This challenge requires you todefeat 75 enemies in the Defiant Battlegrounds playlist with Energy weapons.Energy weapons refer to any guns in your second weapon slot. We recommend equipping a good Primary weapon like Funnelweb, the IKELOS SMG, or Trinity Ghoul to get this done quickly.
Focused Defiance
Focused Defiance:Decode or focus Defiant Engrams at the War Table during Season of Defiance.
This challenge is retroactive.
Focused Defiance requires you tofocus ten Defiant Engrams at the H.E.L.M.’s War Table.You must focus the Engrams into specific weapons or armor for this to count. The good news is that Umbral Focusing resources are no longer a thing, so focusing these Engrams should only cost you some Legendary Shards and Glimmer.
As for what to focus,we recommend armor pieces. With a stat focusing mod on your Ghost Shell, you can force these Engrams to drop armor with stats you need. We cover this in more detail in ourhigh-stat armor guide.
