We have stepped into a war between three Syndicates. All three Syndicates want you to ally with them, but you can only choose one per day. The Lawless Frontier is the newest activity in Destiny 2. There is plenty to learn about the Frontier, and we are here to help. The Lawless Frontier is how you will earn the new Renegades loot, so get yourself familiar.

Tharsis Outpost Surroundings
Outside the Tharsis Cantina, you can find many aspects that will pique your interest. The Bazaar contains pieces from the Survivor’s Grip Armor set for players to purchase. Near the Bazaar is a weapon stand where players can buy the remaining Renegades weapons. Both the armor pieces and weapons require players to spend credits. To the left of spawn, some Fallen members are selling random Renegades armor and weapons in exchange for Salvage. A Fallen Dreg is posted in random locations every day, who sells random loot, including Renegades’ Armor and the Refraction core for the Praxic Blade. Lastly, Glimmer and Enhancement Cores are sold on the far right and left of the Outpost, respectively.
Spider
Spider has the base Renegade abilities that you can upgrade, along with a couple of quests and purchases. You can purchase Deathmarks and earn a tier 5 Uncivil Discourse and higher-tier Renegades gear.
Ghost Theater
The Ghost Theater is the hub for Ghosts in Tharsis. The Theater is on the right side of the Outpost behind Blue. Here you can place the Ghosts found throughout the Frontier. These complete the Cherished Constellation Triumph in the Renegade Seal.
The Lawless Frontier

The Renegades campaign teaches you the basics of the Lawless Frontier activity. You must complete objectives based on the chosen Job. In the activity, you will find various purple lights in the sky that indicate side quests. Completing these will grant you additional rewards. During your time in the Frontier, you may acquire Keycards. Each Keycard correlates to one of the Frontier maps. Use these on locked locations for more Renegades Rewards and an Exotic Armor Piece. There are chests scattered throughout the activities that grant bonus rewards.
Contracts
Each Syndicate has contracts to complete. These will require you to complete various jobs based on the assignment. Your allied Syndicate grants a Priority Contract to complete. There is also an Invasion-based contract, which grants Deathmarks.
Invasion
Invasion is part of the Lawless Frontier. Players can queue for this mode to fight opposing guardians either in a one-versus-three or in a one-versus-one. The more kills and more Deathmarks you wager, the better your rewards. You can earn the red Crystal for your Praxic Blade from Invasions. If you take part in activities in Contested Territory, there is a high likelihood that someone will invade your fireteam.
Dark Ingots, Credits, and Salvage
Dark Ingots are earned through completing Lawless Frontier activities and side quests. You can spend them as the Syndicate War Chests to increase their reputation and earn Renegades Gear. Each Syndicate grants its specific weapon from the War Chest. It costs 10 Dark Ingots per Reward. Credits come from a variety of sources and are necessary for the majority of Renegades’ purchases. Salvage comes from dismantling Renegades gear, and you can spend them at the Vendors to the left of the Tharsis Gate.
