Planetary activities include public events, AimJunkies Court Case standard Lost Sectors, Adventures, and Patrol missions. Planet-exclusive activities, such as the Dreaming City's Blind Well and the Moon's Altars of Sorrow, are excluded from this entry; those are usually worth do

Bungie frequently enables double loot weeks as well, making Nightfalls the definitive way of earning Masterwork materials. Various seasons also added fantastic Nightfall weapons for players to chase. Palindrome, Uzume FR4, and Plug One.1 are some of the best weapons in their respective archetype, giving you further incentives to farm this activity over and over again. If you can brave Grandmaster difficulty, you'll even obtain Adept variants of these guns and Adept mods you can socket into them, resulting in weapons that have stat packages well above their competit

For all new players, or players creating new characters, the Destiny 2 Cosmodrome is where they begin. Shaw Han offers more than a dozen Cosmodrome bounties that award XP and Spinmetal Leaves. Additionally, for those who have yet to grab it, he has the Blast From The Past quest that awards The Chaperone Exotic Shot

You get the idea. Vault of Glass has a fantastic selection of guns. It also contains the best Spoils of Conquest farm in the game for players that want to chase god-roll weapons after their weekly completion. And if your fireteam is powerful enough to beat the Master variant, Vault of Glass provides guaranteed high-stat armor with a specific stat bias, making this the best high-stat armor farm in Destiny 2 . When you combine all of these incentives with an action-packed raid with the perfect blend of combat and mechanics, you have a recipe for a great t

Ultimate Champion brings Guardians to Nightfall strikes on Hero difficulty or higher. Defeat Champions to complete this challenge. Bonus progress is awarded for the higher tier difficulties. Light level 1320 is recommended for Legend Nightfall strikes, so anyone who has the Challenger's Apogee challenge completed should start looking at this activ

Every Vendor scattered across the system in **Destiny 2 ** has something to sell Guardians, but it can be difficult to keep track of who sells what. Some of the vendors don't have anything to offer newer players, while others are off in places that were popular during past seasons. It's important to know, however, who sells what so the appropriate item can be found whenever nee

The EDZ is home to content that no longer exists from the original launch of Destiny 2 , but recent activities in Beyond Light seasons have seen it become relevant once more. Unfortunately, Devrim Kay still has little to offer players other than Dusklight Shard materials. Devrim has three daily bounties that award 10 Dusklight Shards each, which can be used to level up his reputation rank. He offers armor rewards for those who have claimed enough engrams, but the weapons from the engrams and his menu are all sunset weap

Every time an energy platform has deactivated the rings around the outside of the arena will shift, changing the shadows and light of the arena. Defeat the Knights and gather the motes, deactivate the light and dark energy, and the Boss' shield will fall. This begins a timed damage phase, and he can be defeated in one go, but if not, the platforms will reset and the process will need to be repeated. Once this Destiny 2 Boss is defeated, claim the chest reward and have everyone stand on the purple sand to begin the next encoun

Target-farming Exotics has never been easier after Bungie added this activity. Guardians that want a perfect roll for their favorite Exotic helmet just need to wait for a difficult variant to appear that offers a helmet. Year 4 Exotic armor pieces are also tied to these Legendary Lost Sectors, highly encouraging players to give this playlist a chance. This is by far the best Exotic armor farm for solo players in Destin

Finally, the last two vendors in the Tower are Suraya Hawthorne and Master Rahool. Suraya manages all activities relating to clans, sells a weekly raid bounty, and offers Raid Banners in exchange for Glimmer or Legendary Shards. Master Rahool decrypts Prime Engrams for free and offers Legendary Engrams containing a random piece of gear for 35 Legendary Sha

Season of the Lost introduced an activity called Astral Alignment. A team of six Guardians has to complete various objectives before defeating a final boss, granting two chests of loot at the end of the mission. This sounds quite similar to the Menagerie and Sundial on the surface, yet this activity lacks enticing rewards to keep players coming back each w

From the barrier doorway exiting the In Shadow Trivial Mystery, head left sprinting to the darkness. After three or four seconds a water wheel will be in sight and a barrier doorway next to it. Head inside and the chest will be guarded by some Taken. Defeat them, and open the chest to complete the Abandoned Triumph and Trivial MystThis was an amazing week for Destiny 2 news | GamesRadar+
