Tips and tricks to make the encounters easy in Destiny 2 Exodus Crash Grandmaster

Here is a list of a few tips and tricks you can follow in your Exodus Crash Grandmaster run to make things easier:

In the first open area, you can allow one player to stick to the right and proceed with their Vehicle. This will activate all the mines and clear the area for the other two players.
In the "Defend Ghost" room, always keep an eye on the bridge on the top right from the entrance, as there will always be a Fallen Vandal Sniper or Shank Sniper spawning in intervals.
Always back away from the capture point once a boss spawns. Additionally, try not to stick with each other in the fireteam during this encounter, as the bosses can easily wipe out all three players with their Stasis Glaciers.
In the next open area, you can kill the Hydra with a Sniper and Anti-Barrier perk in the beginning. The Hydra can be located on the top-left platform.
In the boss room, you can always head to the upper-left platforms and keep a super ready for the boss. The boss has two phases, and his health pool is very low.
The second phase of the boss is triggered by depositing an Arc charge in a conductor. Hence, you can allow your fireteam to charge your supers and collect ammo before depositing. This way, you can be ready for the second phase of the boss fight.

Best loadout for Destiny 2 Exodus Crash Grandmaster Nightfall

Exodus Crash presents plenty of choke points for players to get easily overwhelmed. To counter this, super abilities such as the Deadfall Shadowshot and Well of Radiance are great picks. The Shadowshot Hunter can run the Omnioculus Exotic chest piece, while the Well of Radiance Warlock can go for the Speaker's Sight Helmet.

The third player is recommended to go with Deadfall Shadowshot Hunter as well, but with Orpheus Rig instead of Omnioculus.

Regarding weapons, Gjallarhorn with two Apex Predators is mandatory for the Surge and Overcharged modifier, alongside Sniper Rifle for Anti-Barrier Champions. Lastly, a Solar Hand Cannon should take care of the minor enemies and Overload Champions.
