The Fourth Horseman Lore
The Fourth Horseman Quest Steps
The quest is now live, so check out all of the steps below! All you need to do to start the quest is talk to Zavala at The Tower!
“When you hold the Fourth Horseman in your hands, you bring the storm. You instill fear by commanding the thunder and firing off rounds with lightning speed. Tear through your enemies like light piercing through clouds after the rain subsides.
“You are a force of nature. Unstoppable. Unpredictable. Undeniable.
“Don’t forget what the Fourth Horseman brings, after all.”
—Commander Zavala
Step 1: Enter the Vault
IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED TO ZAVALA’S OFFICE THEN YOU NEED TO RELOAD YOUR TOWER!!! You might need to do this multiple times for it to work (it’s a bug).
“I’m trusting you, Guardian.” —Commander Zavala
Believe it or not, Zavala has an office! It’s down some of the ramps and scaffolding at The Tower (right in front of where you spawn, between where Zavala and Lord Shaxx are located). You can check out how-to get there in this video:
This is all demonstrated in the video, but here’s a written description:
Go into the office and to the right. You’ll find a stairway, run down this set of stairs and then turn around back towards them. You can crouch down and go under the platform and go into the ducts. Go through the duct and you’ll encounter some more stairs. Head up these and keep going until you can’t move forward anymore and have the option to go left or right. Go left and you will come to a room with some shelves in it. Look for a set of shelves that has a large pipe over it and jump on top of it. You should find some more ducts to run through here. Run all the way through the ducts until you fall down onto some stairs. Go up the stairs, go left and climb up some boxes and into more ducts. Run a bit until you see an opening in the duct on your right, you should be able to drop down from here and into the vault.
Step 2: Missing in Action
The gun isn’t there and it looks like we’re going to have to track it down!
“Not a simple retrieval, after all.” —Ghost
Step 3: Fresh Lead
Ana is over at Mars, so hop in your ship and go talk to her!
“Time to do some digging.” —Ana Bray
Step 4: On the Hunt
Either look for ongoing public events on Mars or head to the Glacial Drift and kill the many Cabal that spawn there! Killing Cabal is really slow, so make sure to look for public events to do for a speedier way to complete this part of the quest. Escalation Protocols will also count towards this percentage, so those are another good option you can do.
“This reeks of Cabal. Truthfully, a lot of this planet does, but this instance has their fingerprints all over it. This gun was designed to be the ultimate Cabal slayer. Of course they’d want to take it out of our hands. I need you to collect some intel from the Cabal to track it down.”
Step 5: Return to Ana
Head back to Ana on Mars and turn in the intelligence you gathered from the Cabal and public events.
“We’re close. I can feel it.” —Ana Bray
Step 6: In the Shadows
Cabal chests can be found on EDZ around the Winding Cove or pretty much anywhere on the EDZ. These are specifically the red Cabal Chests and they will give you 20% each towards your goal! If you have one, equip a Ghost Shell that has Treasure Hunter to make them easier to find.
“Calus’s network reaches far and wide. His shadows are everywhere.” —Ana Bray
Step 7: Under Our Nose
Head on back to The Tower and give the intelligence over to Benedict 99-40.
“Why do we let him stay here?” —Ghost
Step 8: Dirty Work
Not much to this one, you just need to do public events or complete patrols on EDZ. You can vary it up, either of these gives a fair amount of percentage while you can also gain for defeating combatants while doing these.
“I’m sure Devrim will appreciate this, at least.” —Ghost
Step 9: Rein It In
Back to The Tower and talk to Benedict 99-40 again!
“No more cleaning up Calus’s messes, agreed?” —Ghost
Step 10: Lost and Found (Time Gated) FIXED!
It looks like this part of the quest was slightly bugged, and you didn’t originally have access to the Legendary Quarry Lost Sector. Bungie has pushed an override that allows you to access it:
“The old smash and grab. Let’s remind them not to mess with Vanguard.” —Ghost
Go to The Sludge on the EDZ and complete the Daily Bunker Buster. Once you’ve done that you should get access to The Quarry! Once you’re done with this you will get The Fourth Horseman in the chest at the end.
We just did an override and the Quarry Legendary Lost Sector will be active today and tomorrow.
Sorry about any inconvenience.
