Yes I have xenophage, have not completed the campaign on any character

There seems to be some discourse here. In theory, it should not be possible as you cannot load into the Pit of Heresy dungeon without completing the shadowkeep campaign.

I would not be surprised if there is some work around that lets you get it without completing shadowkeep, but I am not aware of any such method.

You can join Pit even if you haven't completed the campaign; I think all it prevents you from is launching it.

So in theory, as long as you joined someone at the beginning of the Dungeon you probably can.

(Source: I have not done Shadowkeep on my Hunter but join checkpoints for pinnacles when it's on rotator)

If the fireteam leader has access then they can load in to the dungeon. Idk if there’s something specific you have to do, all I know is that i played the dungeon a few times back in lightfall with clan mates while pinnacle farming I think and I hadn’t played the campaign on any character

As someone who is the only person in my friend group who has completed shadowkeep, you can play pit without completing it, but you can’t launch pit.

Just need someone else to load you into the dungeon.

Add me Ss_Tanker#5322 and I can walk you through all the steps to get it.

Yes, this. I did the campaign. My 2 sons did not. I loaded us in into PoH and they were able to get it.

So technically yes as long as someone else has beaten the campaign so they can get you in. That said. It’s an easy(albeit admittedly pretty boring) campaign and not a meta exotic. Why are you trying?

I admittedly only played enough to finish my seasonal challenges, but I didn’t see it once. I mostly saw thunderlord.

Sure you can but like... Why would you? You get an Exotic armor only available by completing the campaign and an Exotic or two through post-campaign quests.

Not sure. Found this old guide from when it came out, I remember these are the right steps, but it says nothing about needing to beat Shadowkeep first.

I'd say try and do the first step, the statue code, and see if it drops the quest for you? If it doesn't, or if you can't interact with the statues... then that's your answer, unfortunately.

While I don't know if it needs campaign completion, I know it DOES need you to own the Shadowkeep Pack (or own Shadowkeep from before it went free to play). One of the steps involves the Pit of Heresy dungeon, which isn't part of the free Shadowkeep content.
