Once you have completed The Final Shape campaign, you will gain access to the Exotic Quest called “Wild Card”. Completing this quest is the second requirement. The Wild Card quest is challenging but rewarding, and it’s necessary to progress toward unlocking the Excision activity.

After meeting the above requirements, you are ready to find and launch Excision. First, open your destination map in Destiny 2 and navigate to the Pale Heart area.

Next, scroll all the way to the right, next to the new raid, Salvation’s Edge. You should see Excision, the new 12-player activity, listed here. If you do not see Excision, this indicates that you have not yet met the two core requirements. Ensure you have completed both The Final Shape campaign and the Exotic Quest Wild Card before trying again.
