The Reckoning was a four-player PvE activity added in Season of the Drifter, set inside The Haul that the Drifter tows behind his ship. It was organised by the Drifter and The Nine.
Unlocking
Complete your first Gambit Prime match, then launch it from the Gambit menu. A Synth (earned from Gambit Prime bounties) is used to create motes and enter.
Tiers
Three tiers with rising Power requirements (650, 670 and 690). Tier I: defeat Taken in rapid succession (slower kills reward less), then a boss. Tier II adds bridge-building encounters and two boss variants. Tier III raises enemy health and damage and requires 20 seconds to capture bridges, with achievements for deathless runs and no-super bridges. Bosses include the Two of Swords and the Likeness of Oryx; Hive enemies also appear. The boss alternates by week.
Rewards
Legendary weapons (Lonesome, Spare Rations, Gnawing Hunger) and four armor sets (Collector, Invader, Reaper, Sentry), whose pieces give permanent bonus points to the matching Gambit Prime role. Weapons drop only in Tier II and III: Lonesome in the Two of Swords week, Spare Rations (Tier II/III) and Gnawing Hunger (Tier III) in the Likeness of Oryx week. Gnawing Hunger, Doomsday and Just In Case were Reckoning-exclusive. The drop chance reportedly rises after each run without a weapon.
Retirement
Vaulted with Beyond Light on 10 November 2020, together with its gear.
