    How to matchmake for Heroic

    I'm on PS4 and when I wanna play for instance Falcon Lost incursion, I set the difficulty for Heroic and I get a notification that I've been invited for a successful game.

    How do I know if this invite is playing on Heroic or Challenging? Because most of the times I accept and play through the entire thing and it ends up being just challenging, I get no exotic cache and just waste my time. Very frustrating. All of this seems to go for all types of matchmaking.

    This is xbox. if you know the controller use the same button positioning.
    First and foremost, the world setting must be WT5.
    On the map press and hold Y button.
    Select Heroic
    Y to matchmake.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I do. But what I get as the matchmake is not necessarily heroic, it's also challenging. So I'm asking if I can see on the invite which challenge they're running?

    It will always matchmake the difficulty you have selected. If you join and it changes, it could be the group leader has changed it.

    Oh, it's 50/50 for me. I always matchmake on heroic but now more than half has been challenging. and i don't notice it until i finish the incursion or whatever im doing and i realize i dont get an exotic chest.

    Open the map and select the mission. Will tell you what difficulty you’re playing at if I remember correctly.

    The exotic cache is only available once per week, per toon. Reset for caches is Friday/Saturday, same as vendor reset.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but enemies in Heroic are also yellow barred.

    As long as you're selecting Heroic difficultly, it'll matchmake to that.

    Oh is that why? IIt's reset. Weird that the icon shows that it will give me an exotic cache and then doesn't though, but it makes sense if that's the case. And they really explain these things extremely bad in this game.

    Ha! You think this is bad, try Warframe. You literally need to keep the wiki open next to you as you play. Love the game, but man, it totally takes the cake for being terrible at explaining anything.
