How to beat the quest The corrupted?

[Furry Beaver]

So I got this quest called The corrupted.
I'm supposed to do the quest version of the strike The corrupted but the problem is that the quest version is solo and harder than this weeks nightfall version of the strike.
The ridiculous thing is that the game says recommended level is 750. I'm 1010 and isnt even close to do this quest. I can more or less solo nightfall adept version of this strike but the quest version is impossible. It feels like I'm about to solo the Hero nightfall version of the strike.
I manage to get to the elevator but in there I'm only able to throw 1 relic before I get 2 shottet by any of the 3 big enemies in that room. Maybe Bungie wanted to make this a group quest again but forgot to turn on matchmaking. I dont know but this is far from the solo 750 dungeon the game claims it to be.

So just wondering if anyone have any tips how to do this? It needs to be current information and not based on old information when this quest was lower power level or you could group up with a fire team tho.

The gun is a waste of time anyways. I don't think there was ever matchmaking for it.

When I googled for hint all I got was "get a fireteam" so I assumed it used to be a group quest.
But if the gun is a waste of time then I wont bother trying to get it either. Not with the difficulty level on this one.

Yeah -- it's not a solo mission... you're supposed to get a fireteam set up for it.

Even though it's designed for a fireteam, it is possible to solo it. You just have to be more cautious and use special strategies.

The elevator part was a PAIN but I eventually got through it with a mix of luck, correct super / grenade use and practice.

The final part is even worse though. Even though I know it's been solo'd I couldn't beat it alone and had to call in help to get through the final boss.

Your light level is being reduced to 750, that is why things are hitting you hard, also, the easiest way to complete this is with a fire team, even a second person makes it 10x easier. and for saying Malfeasance is a bad gun, it has a specific purpose, that is to kill taken quicker, but it does have very mediocre perks compared to other exotics.

Ah, it makes sense that its supposed to be a fireteam. Too bad it doesnt say that in the description. The quest looks like a solo quest so I just assumed it was a solo quest.
Too bad there are no matchmaking for this. Thanks for the clarification guys. :)

It's perfectly soloable if you have the right gear/skill setup, just like Whisper of the Worm is, just not designed to be soloed. Either get a clan and ask for help there or use the official LFG tools.

But, again, Malfeasance is a complete and utter waste of time. For PvE, Ace is better. For PvP, Last Word is better.
