In this guide, I’ll walk you through every location for these elusive Data Pads. Whether you're playing solo or in a fireteam, I’ll break down the exact spots you need to visit to collect each one. This will not only help you hit your weekly goals, but also earn the coveted rewards that come with completing these challenges.
So, let’s get into it! Grab your Ghost, prep your weapons, and let’s track down all those Data Pads.
Overview: The Data Pad Challenge
Before diving into specifics, it's important to understand what you're after. The Data Pads are key collectibles scattered across various Destiny 2 missions. For Week 3, there are 11 of these scattered across Solo Ops, Fireteam Ops, and Pinnacle Ops. These Data Pads are often tucked away in challenging spots—requiring you to navigate complex environments, battle enemies, and sometimes, even solve puzzles to reach them.
Here’s a quick rundown of the modes where you’ll find these Data Pads:
-
Solo Ops: Solo mission playlists where you can complete objectives alone.
-
Fireteam Ops: Cooperative missions designed for multiple players (but doable solo with some effort).
-
Pinnacle Ops: High-difficulty missions with the best rewards at stake, including exotics and other loot.
Now that you know the game modes, let’s break down the exact Data Pad locations within each.
Solo Ops: The K1 Logistics & Creation
K1 Logistics – Data Pad 1
The first Data Pad is found in the K1 Logistics Solo Ops mission. Right off the bat, you’ll encounter a series of lasers and explosives. Keep an eye out for these hazards as you progress.
-
Key Location: After making your way past the laser beam field, you’ll encounter a distinctive symbol on a nearby wall. This is your cue that the Data Pad is close.
-
What to Do: Keep pushing forward, taking a right turn just after the lasers, and you’ll find the Data Pad waiting for you.
K1 Creation – Data Pad 2
The second Data Pad is located in the K1 Creation Solo Ops mission, which takes place in a dark, eerie section of the Moon. Once you’ve captured the point and are told to “push forward,” look for the blue boxes near your path.
-
Key Location: Right behind the boxes is where you’ll find the second Data Pad. It’s a simple grab after you’ve advanced through the mission’s earlier stages.
-
What to Do: Move past the area where the point was captured and head straight towards the blue boxes. The Data Pad will be nestled behind them.
Both of these Data Pads are relatively straightforward, but be mindful of the dangers around you. The environment in Solo Ops can sometimes be tricky, so watch your step!
Fireteam Ops: The Devil’s Lair & The Coil
Next up, we move into Fireteam Ops missions, which require either teamwork or a brave solo run. Here are the locations for the first two Data Pads found within the Devil’s Lair and The Coil missions.
Devil’s Lair – Data Pad 1
The Devil’s Lair mission can be a bit more intense, especially when it comes to dealing with the endless waves of enemies. During the mission, you’ll need to clear multiple waves of foes to lower a barrier blocking your path.
-
Key Location: After clearing the waves and lowering the barrier, you’ll need to head to the right side of the area.
-
What to Do: The first Data Pad will be tucked away just before the final boss area. It’s easy to overlook, but once you turn the corner, it should be visible.
Devil’s Lair – Data Pad 2
The second Data Pad in Devil’s Lair is located just before the final boss fight. If you’re pushing through this mission, keep your eyes peeled for this collectible.
-
Key Location: After dealing with the initial waves of enemies and lowering the barrier, keep an eye on your surroundings as you approach the boss arena.
-
What to Do: The Data Pad will be close to the boss door. It’s positioned in a small, hidden corner near the entrance.
Both Data Pads in Devil’s Lair are straightforward to find, but the true challenge lies in surviving the waves of enemies. As always, bringing a Fireteam makes things easier—but if you’re up for a solo challenge, you can still grab these pads.
The Coil: A Repetitive Challenge
The Coil mission in Fireteam Ops requires you to complete a few cycles to collect all the Data Pads. Since these are located before each boss fight, you’ll need to repeat the mission a few times. Here’s how to grab the three pads within The Coil.
Coil Mission – Data Pads 1, 2, and 3
Each Data Pad is located just before the boss fight in The Coil mission. Fortunately, once you complete a cycle, you can restart the mission and collect another pad in the same spot.
-
Key Location: Before each boss fight, take the path that feels most natural to you. The Data Pad will be located just before the portal you need to enter to face the boss.
-
What to Do: After defeating the first set of enemies and clearing the initial area, proceed forward. The Data Pad will be located before you enter the boss portal. Repeat this for each round, and you’ll be able to grab all three.
If you don’t mind a bit of repetition, this is a pretty straightforward way to rack up your Data Pads.
Sabathun’s Spire: The Traps and Doors
Sabathun’s Spire brings in its own unique challenge. You’ll need to traverse through traps, select the correct doors, and then find the Data Pads before facing the boss.
Sabathun’s Spire – Data Pad 1
In Sabathun’s Spire, once you make it past the traps and enter the correct door, you’ll need to drop down into the area below.
-
Key Location: As you drop down, you’ll need to take a right turn and look for the Data Pad near the corner.
-
What to Do: Follow the path carefully, making sure to dodge traps, and you should find the Data Pad near the edge of the map.
Sabathun’s Spire – Data Pad 2
The second Data Pad is just before the final boss fight in Sabathun’s Spire.
-
Key Location: Instead of going straight into the boss room, you’ll need to veer left into a small corner.
-
What to Do: The pad is tucked away in the corner near the boss portal.
Pinnacle Ops: Whisper of the Worm
Now, we enter the Pinnacle Ops category, where the real rewards lie. These missions are tougher, with high-stakes challenges and, of course, the best loot. There are two remaining Data Pads, both located in the Whisper of the Worm mission.
Whisper of the Worm – Data Pad 1
The first Data Pad in Whisper of the Worm is found early on in the mission, in a section full of holes in the ground.
-
Key Location: As you approach this area, the pad is located on the right side.
-
What to Do: Navigate around the holes and look closely to the right to grab this Data Pad.
Whisper of the Worm – Data Pad 2
The final Data Pad is found near the end of the mission, during the jumping puzzle section.
-
Key Location: This one is tricky because it’s placed all the way on the far side of the puzzle.
-
What to Do: Make sure you have the correct momentum and timing to jump across. The pad will be waiting at the end of your jump path.
Once you’ve collected these, you’ve completed the Week 3 Data Pad hunt!
