Expert: Kell's Grave

Overview

Expert: Kell's Grave is the Expert 50-wave difficulty of the Kell's Grave map in Onslaught: Salvation, the wave-defence activity added in Episode: Revenant Act 1. Fireteams of 1-3 defend an Advanced Defensive Unit against Revenant Scorn, Shadow Legion Cabal and Dread forces led by Fikrul. The map is set at The Tangled Shore.

Launching and power

Onslaught: Salvation has a power-enabled 10-wave playlist version, a normal 50-wave version and an Expert 50-wave version. The playlist version is listed at 1960 Power, the base version at 2030 and Expert at 2065, although game data shows 2010 for Expert. Expert is available from Light level 2030. Unlike original Onslaught, Salvation honours your Power Level.

Mechanics

• Waves come in sets of ten: bonus-objective waves (2, 5, 8) give Heavy ammo, augment waves (3, 9) bring elites such as Grim Harbingers, wave 6 is an Eliksni prisoner rescue, and wave 10 is a boss wave.
• Earn Scrap to buy and upgrade defences: a manual turret, air strike, and trip mines that create Stasis fields.
• Expert adds Banes throughout the run on top of normal modifiers; Extinguish is on by default on Legend or after wave 30 in Normal.

Rewards

Seasonal Revenant weapons and tonic ingredients. Expert gives two chances at a fully masterworked, double-perked episodic weapon on wave 30.
