How to Unlock and Play the Reclaim Activity in Destiny 2: Ash and Iron

The Ash and Iron event is now live in Destiny 2, and everyone wants to unlock and play Reclaim activity in Destiny 2. This limited-time mode sends you through a set of missions where you must fill a progress bar to advance to the next stage. You can play solo, but it’s much easier with a Fireteam, since things can get hectic—especially when modifiers make missions tougher. If you’re just starting, the Earth Reclaimed quest is the easiest way to unlock this activity. But it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Here’s a full guide on how to unlock and play Reclaim in Destiny 2 Ash and Iron.

How to Unlock Reclaim in Destiny

Here’s what you need to do:

• Visit Devrim Kay in the EDZ – Speak to him and pick up the Earth Reclaimed quest.
• Open the Event Tab in your Portal UI – From here, choose one of the Reclaim maps. If possible, pick the one that gives both a weapon and an Engram as rewards.

Once you’ve done this, you’re ready to jump into the Reclaim activity in Destiny 2.

Playing a Reclaim Mission

When you start a mission, you’ll see a progress bar at the top of your screen. The goal is to fill it to 1000 points before moving on. Here’s how to do it efficiently:

Focus on Objectives

Defeating regular enemies gives only one point each, which is far too slow. Instead, follow the markers on your map. Depending on the mission, objectives may vary:

• Break enemy shields and defeat them.
• Destroy marked objects after waves of enemies.
• Clear an area and unlock a chest.

Completing these objectives will fill your bar much faster—usually you’ll only need two per zone before moving forward.

Buffs After Zones

At the end of some areas, you’ll earn buffs that can improve your play style. For example, faster grenade cooldowns or frost armor after a finishing blow. Pick the one that fits your build before heading to the next area.

Side Progress: Chests and Investigations

While completing main objectives, don’t ignore the side content:

• Chests – Open them for 20 points.
• Investigations – Interact with them for 60 points.

They won’t replace the main goals, but they give you steady progress toward filling the bar.

The Final Boss Fight

After clearing three zones, you’ll enter the fourth area for a boss fight. This final challenge can be tough, especially for new players, so bring your strongest weapons and armor. If you’re defeated, don’t worry—you can respawn and rejoin the fight instantly.

The boss drops rewards, and since this is a replayable event, you can keep grinding for loot as much as you like. And that’s all you need to know about the Reclaim activity in Destiny 2 Ash and Iron.For more Destiny 2 guides, stay posted to RetroNoob.
