Destiny 2's The Edge of Fate kicked off with a set of seasonal challenges, and one of them sends you looking for data pads scattered around three maps in the new Solo Ops playlist.
The Solo Ops Data Pad Search seasonal challenges hide those devices in multiple Solo Ops missions, giving players a little extra to hunt for when completing the Portal activities. You don't always have to go at it alone, though: Bungie hid data pads in other playlists such as Fireteam Ops, Empire Hunts, Onslaught, and even Pinnacle missions such as Kell's Fall, Encore, and Starcrossed.
Here are the locations of all Solo Ops data pads we've found so far, ordered from the most recent to the oldest.

All Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part Three locations in Destiny 2
The third part of the quest brings you to two different locations: K1 Logistics on the Moon and Creation on Europa. The former is different in its Portal form, and Creation is new to the Solo Ops playlist.
Where to find the Data Pad in K1 Logistics in Destiny 2
This part of the Solo Ops Data Pad Search seasonal challenge brings a collectible to our favorite Portal activity to farm (sorry, Caldera). Continue through the mission until you enter the long hallway leading to the boss room. Stop at the door and look for this data pad in the small room on the right.
Where to find the Data Pad in Creation in Destiny 2
The Creation data pad is early into the mission. Capture the plate, get past the lasers, and look for the data pad before dropping down deeper into the old Bray Exoscience facility. It's located behind some crates, though your quest marker will give it away.
All Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part Two locations in Destiny 2
The second part of the Data Pad Search triumph only has one destination: the Conflux on Nessus. It's not the dwelling of the boss, informally known as Carl (famous for being the go-to practice dummy before the addition of the Tower's Firing Range).
Where to find the Data Pad in the Conflux in Destiny 2
The data pad in the Conflux mission is located before the boss room, and it's hard to miss. After defending the Confluxes, you'll come out in an area with a large Vex portal, some statues, and an object that looks like a brazier. Look for the data pad on the left side of this room, on a rock surrounded by Vex milk.
All Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part One locations in Destiny 2
Three locations are required to complete the Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part One challenge:
- Skywatch (Cosmodrome)
- The Salt Mines (EDZ)
- Caldera (Kepler)
More of those scavenger hunt-esque objectives will likely appear in the following weeks, taking players through other locations in the playlist.
The data pads spawn even in the lowest difficulties, in our experience, so don't worry about buffing your enemies to complete this seasonal objective. Here's where you can find each of them.
Skywatch Solo Ops Data Pad location
The data pad in Skywatch is hard to miss. Progress through the mission until your screen shows you're entering Skywatch, then just to your left to find this data pad on top of a barrel.
The Salt Mines Solo Ops Data Pad location
The data pad in the Salt Mines appears in one of the last areas in this Solo Op, after you've cleared two Taken Anchors. As you're on your way to the third and final Taken Anchor, you'll encounter a drop in one of the EDZ's rocky areas. The data pad is on top of a rusted crate, almost in front of you.
Kepler Solo Ops data pad location
The data pad in the Kepler Solo Ops appeared after we sabotaged the Fallen depots as part of the main objective. This led us to a cave with some derelict constructions. The data pad is to your right as soon as you enter the area and see the terrain change, just opposite a ruined building.
