History of Wrath of the Machine

Wrath of the Machine is the flagship raid of Rise of Iron, playable from 23 September 2016. It is a Destiny (Destiny 1) raid and the only raid from that game that has not been remade for Destiny 2. The raid is set in Old Russia on Earth and follows the destruction of the Replication Complex, when Guardians must end the SIVA Crisis. The team moves through the Server Farm to reach the lair of Aksis, Archon Prime, who is the final boss. Aksis lurks in his Perfection Complex, deep beneath the Cosmodrome.

The final fight starts when a player steps into a cloud of SIVA mites. Aksis creates SIVA Nodes, which must be destroyed with SIVA Charges dropped by Splicer Captains.

Hard Mode followed on 18 October 2016. Aksis Phase 2 can drop the Nanophoenix ship and the Weldfire shader. Challenge mode rewards SIVA Ornaments for the Hard Mode Spliced Gear.
