Before Shadowkeep, you could partake in mini-story missions called Adventures. You could unlock these on any planet at any time you wanted. However, Heroic Adventures wasn’t patched into the game until the Curse of Osiris expansion. These could only be activated if you bought this DLC, too, as you needed to complete the DLC’s story quests in order to unlock them.
Since Shadowkeep’s arrival, however, things appear to have changed. Multiple threads have popped up in the game’s subreddit as players look for answers as to why they can’t access Heroic Adventures on Mercury.
The short answer is that Mercury and Mars no longer offer Heroic Adventures on a consistent basis. Much like other planetary locations, Heroic Adventures will only spawn if a Flashpoint is occurring on these worlds. If you don’t know what Flashpoints are, read on.
- Flashpoints are public events that occur weekly, and they require you to complete certain tasks in order to achieve rewards.
- If a Flashpoint doesn’t happen on a certain planet, you can’t activate or take part in Heroic Adventures.
- Flashpoints change every week as part of the Destiny 2 weekly reset. If Mercury isn’t the Flashpoint for one week, it might be in the next one.
- Once a Flashpoint comes to Mercury, you’ll be able to unlock Heroic Adventures again.
