After completing the Lightfall campaign, Guardians will need to speak with Nimbus in Neomuna to obtain the Exotic quest, Unfinished Business, for Deterministic Chaos. It is a 13-step quest.

  1. Go to the Hall of Heroes.
  2. Visit Nimbus to find out why they left Rohan's induction ceremony early.
  3. Collect cipher qubits from the Vex and use them to extract Rohan's data from Cloud Accretions in Neomuna.
  4. Locate the final data packet in Maya's Retreat.
  5. Survive the Vex attack and recover the data packet from their conflux.
  6. Regroup with Nimbus and Osiris in Radiosonde to find out what was in Rohan's notes.
  7. Retrieve a Vex compass from the Lost Sector in Liming Harbor.
  8. Create chaos in Ahimsa Park to draw Shadow Legion forces away from Calus' ship. The more you use your abilities to defeat combatants, the more mayhem you create.
  9. The passkey's other component is a Seed of Silver Wings. One can be found in Calus' trove deep within the Typhon Imperator.
  10. Return to Nimbus in Striders' Gate to build the passkey.
  11. Complete the mission "What Remains."
  12. Bring the Conceptual Mind's memory core to Nimbus in Striders' Gate.
  13. Go to the Hall of Heroes to honor those who cut their years short for the sake of humanity.

Deterministic Chaos comes with two Exotic Perks, Heavy Metal and Vexadecimal. Heavy Metal turns every fourth bullet into a heavy projectile that weakens targets on impact. Vexadecimal turns every Heavy Metal shot (16th shot) into a round that also makes targets volatile on impact. The Catalyst unlocks Fourth Time's the Charm which returns two rounds to the magazine when rapidly landing precision hits.
