Exotic Quest: Presage

Overview

Presage is a Scorn-infested exotic mission aboard the derelict Cabal ship Glykon Volatus (the Derelict Leviathan era), launched from a distress signal. It is for 1-3 players and has Normal and Master variants. Start by finding the Intercepted Distress Signal at the start of The Arms Dealer strike and speaking to Zavala for the quest "The Voice on the Other Side". Today it is in the Exotic Mission playlist (Legends tab).

Recommended power has changed over time: 1230 in an older version, 1800 (Normal) and 1830 (Master) in another, and a cap of 1,815 with a -15 delta on Legend in the current version. Master has a 25-minute timer and Contest; Legend has a 30-minute limit, Arc/Strand surges and locked equipment.
