Destiny 2: Frontiers - How to Access the “Deep Space” Patrol Zone

The Frontiers expansion has introduced one of the most visually stunning locations in Destiny 2 history: the Deep Space patrol zone. However, unlike previous destinations, it isn’t available immediately after the first mission.

You must complete a specific post-campaign quest chain to clear the nebula barrier and land.

Step-by-Step Unlock Guide

1. Complete the Campaign Mission “The Edge”

You must finish the main Frontiers campaign. The final mission, “The Edge,” culminates in a cutscene involving the Witness’s remnants. Once you return to orbit, the quest “Beyond the Veil” will appear in your log.

2. Speak to Zavala in the New H.E.L.M.

Go to the H.E.L.M. (updated layout). Zavala is now located in the Starboard wing. Speak to him to advance the quest. He will give you the “Star-Chart” artifact.

3. Star-Chart Quest: Step 3

The “Deep Space” zone is locked behind Step 3 of the Star-Chart questline.

• Task: Collect 50 Nebula Dust from activities in the Sol System.
• Fastest Farm: Run Public Events on Europa or Neptune. Heroic Public Events drop 10 Dust each.

4. Clear the Nebula Barrier

Once you have the dust:

1. Open the Director.
2. Navigate to the new “Unknown Space” node on the far right.
3. Select the mission “Breach”.
4. This is a solo mission where you pilot your ship through a hazard course. Survive the run to permanently unlock the Deep Space landing zone.

What to Do First?

Once you land, head immediately to Sector Zero. This area contains the region chest with the new Frontier Shell ghost, which increases glimmer gains in the Deep Space zone by 15%.
