Plot Points & Events
Important Events
- Humans are the primary enemy in the game for quite some time in order to set up the world. Players will initially fight Red Star on Luna, and once they travel to Earth, they can explore Bastion to fight against The Brotherhood. After several missions, an emergency will require player assistance. Hunters are introduced at this point.
- Once introduced, Hunters will play a larger role in the game, especially when traveling in the open world on Earth. New missions to Las Vegas appear where they can be encountered as well. They can also appear as Flashpoints while in Bastion.
- The Carnax are not introduced until Mars, which isn't unlocked until several quest lines on Bastion, Las Vegas, and the Moon are completed. This is roughly 60% of the way through the initial release campaign. Additionally, neither Quicksilver or The Ruin are introduced until a later date.
- The Ruin are introduced very briefly as a late game boss, and then again very sporadically for endgame events.
- The Shatter only briefly appears in season one, and at the very end of the campaign.
- The initial raid takes place on Phobos. It features The Carnax and introduces The Shatter.
- Many of the Carnax Houses are not seen in the first season.
- Dark Space is teased at the very end of season one to create a cliffhanger for season two.
