Destiny 2: The Best Activities To Farm Gear Tier List

50 Champion Stuns in 30 Seconds...(Absolutely Stunning Challenge) - Destiny 2 Witch QueenIt's a significantly better PvP experience than it's ever been in Destiny 2, but it's still Trials. Players can still get stomped by experienced three-stacks, cheesy meta loadouts are still an issue, and the playlist is only active during the weekend. Even with all of those issues, the rewards from Trials are so great that all players should give this game mode a try whenever it's active. If you're a great PvP player, this is effectively a PvP variant of GM Nightfalls . Its reward structure is that g

Destiny 2's Prophecy Dungeon had its loot pool updated this season, bringing back the long-sunset Trials of the Nine weapons. Each has an updated perk pool, and some can only be received from specific encounters of the dungeon. The Judgment Hand Cannon, for example, will only drop after defeating Phalanx Echo, the first boss. After it's discovered, Judgment will then be an available reward in Prophecy's two secret che

The fight against the Sanctified Mind takes place in a crescent-shaped arena. Floating over the lake of Vex milk is the Sanctified Mind, and the encounter will start once it is shot. This encounter will divide up the Fireteam into three groups of two at the start, but as the damage phase draws near those roles will evolve into individually designated zones. These three teams will be Portal Team One, Portal Team Two, and the Conflux Team. The beginning of the encounter starts with enemy clearing and avoiding fire from the Sanctified Mind. Take out the Angelic enemy that spawns quickly with a powerful weapon like Destiny 2's Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun , and two damageable spots on the boss will spawn - one on his shoulder and one on his

The Ascendancy Rocket Launcher is Destiny 2 's new Ritual Weapon, available as a reward earned through Gambit, Crucible, and Vanguard Strikes at rank 16. Ascendancy is already Masterworked when it's acquired, and it comes with the Explosive Light perk. This perk increases the blast radius of rockets for every Orb of Power picked up, with a six-orb li

On August 25, Bungie detailed new changes coming to Trials of Osiris, including Trials no longer being active during Iron Banner weeks and during World's First Raid releases. Additionally, the Season of the Lost's Trials update allows solo players to queue in once they have access. Trials of Osiris access is now based on long-term Crucible Valor from past seasons, rather than getting 50 kills in Elimination. This means there are now more opportunities to unlock the new Stasis Linear Fusion Rifle, Reed's Regret, as well as fan-favorites like Destiny 2 's Igneous Hammer Hand Cann

While Xur is often in the Destiny 2 Tower Hanger, he can also be found on Nessus at the Watcher's Grave or Winding Cove in the European Deadzone. It varies weekend to weekend, but he always sells a random Hunter, Titan, and Warlock Exotic armor piece with random stat rolls. Additionally, he sells an Exotic Cipher that awards a random piece of Exotic Gear, and starting in Season of the Lost Xur sells Legendary weapons and armor. Every other week, Xur also has an Exotic Cipher quest available, where Guardians must complete 21 playlist activities to earn the cipher. Return to him that weekend, or any following, grab the reward, and either hold on to it or turn it back to Xur for another Exotic gear piece. Exotic Ciphers can also be used to unlock a weapon in the Exotic Archive, weapons that will never be earned through

Trials of Osiris offers two types of weapons: standard and Adept. Adept versions have slots for additional mods that can only be applied to Adept weapons. Adept weapons also have a different default design that's flashier than the standard-issue vers

Destiny 2 's Nightfall rewards have been updated to include The Comedian Shotgun and The Hothead Rocket Launcher, both originally from Destiny 1 . In the past, players could only earn one Nightfall weapon per week, outside of special double loot weeks. Now, two weapons will be available every week, not including Adept versions. Anyone looking to do well in Destiny 2 ' s endgame content should be after the new Nightfall weapons, as well as the others the playlist has to offer, such as the D1 fan-favorite Hung Jury Scout Rif

The Vault of Glass is the only raid in Destiny 2 Champions 2 that gives out Pinnacle Gear currently. That alone makes it incredibly rewarding, but VoG also has some of the best weapons that Destiny 2 has seen thus

Now that the next set of challenges have been issued, a few more upgrades for the Wayfinder's Compass are available to unlock. The Wayfinder's Compass can be found in the HELM, and its upgrades can be purchased with Parallax Trajectory. Players can earn more Parallax Trajectory in Destiny 2 __ quickly by completing a number of difficult activit

The best Fusion Rifles in Destiny 2 Season of the Lost are the Vex Mythoclast, Null Composure, One Thousand Voices, PLUG ONE.1, and Merciless. Vex Mythoclast and Merciless are Exotics that both received individual buffs to their own stats, and buffs as part of the Fusion Rifle weapon type. One Thousand Voices is another Exotic Fusion Rifle, but it's the only Fusion Rifle that uses Power ammo in Destiny 2. Both PLUG ONE.1 and Null Composure are Legendary Fusion Rifles , but they can keep pace with some Exotics without an Exotic intrinsic p
