Beginner's Endgame Checklist — Your First Two Weeks at Level 40

A clear weekly cadence helps you avoid bouncing between activities at random once you hit the Level 40 endgame.

Daily Routine

  • DZ vendor check: The vendor rotates stock every 24 hours. Always check for Chipsets or Augmentations.
  • Open-world activities: Complete these to reveal OS Bounty Lieutenants.
  • DZ Runs: 1–2 chipset DZ runs with targeted loot set to your specialization.
  • Daily commendation pickups: Claim free SHD Keys here; there’s no need to spend real money on caches.

Weekly Routine

  • Complete the OS Bounty main target: Make sure to claim from the Bounty Menu, not just the boss body, to get your OS Protocol.
  • Legendary Elite Missions: Run your 2 bonus Legendary Elite Mission clears for the Tier 2 bonus caches.
  • Lone Wolf Challenge: This challenge refreshes every 3 weeks (fixed in the Phase 2 update).

Avoid the FOMO Traps

[!WARNING]

  • Sealed Caches are a money sink — pull only with earned SHD Keys.
  • Don’t dismantle anything Tier 2 until you’re absolutely sure it’s truly inferior to what you already have equipped.
