Raid Objectives & Extraction:
How a Run Actually Flows
A clear RIG Riot raid flow: secondary objectives, major encounters, objective markers, loot choices and when extraction matters.
Read a raid as a loop, not a checklist
The observed tutorial flow is: find a secondary objective, complete it, take the reward, get stronger, and work toward a major encounter. In the current tutorial footage, completing three secondary objectives unlocks a major objective. Because launch progression can rearrange content, treat the flow as durable and the exact count as version-sensitive.
What you are really choosing after every reward
A reward is not just “more damage.” The supplied tutorial demonstrates permanent parts alongside temporary raid upgrades. That means every stop can change both the current combat loop and the value of simply surviving long enough to get out.
When extraction is the correct play
Extraction mechanics are designed as a risk dial. If your profile has the loss-on-death behavior enabled, the decision becomes obvious: compare the permanent value already found with your odds of surviving the next spike. The aggressive choice is not automatically the smart choice.
- Extract earlier when the build has no sustain and damage is falling behind.
- Push when upgrades are reinforcing one another and your movement still has margin.
- Do not confuse “I can still kill regular enemies” with “I am ready for the next major encounter.”
Navigation rule: solve height before distance
Recent video runs repeatedly show players arriving at the horizontal location and still not finding the objective. The current compass has above/below indicators. Check that first, then use the movement guide to solve the route.
