Lost Sectors

Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sector Farming Tips

If you're less inclined to run laps in patrol to farm chests, there's another option. Pick a short Lost Sector and farm information technology. Widow's Walk in the EDZ'due south Trostland is an ideal choice because—with the right build—you can walk in, kill the boss, loot the chest, and leave within seconds. Any Dreaming City and Moon Lost Sector volition work too.

To exercise this, your best option is to bring a high-impairment Heavy weapon of some kind, but any high-damage elemental weapon should be fine. Get in, quickly have downward the dominate before other enemies tin overwhelm you, and so take your Glimmer and leave. Even if you dice at that point, it'southward fine because yous can just head outside of the Lost Sector to do it all over again.

Keep in mind that this "farm" can't be used too ofttimes. Later multiple runs, the Glimmer rewards volition taper off until it's non really worth doing anymore. But this is another option to make some quick Glimmer thanks to your Blink Booster mods.

Boosting Glimmer Gains With Ghost Shells And Rainmaker

Destiny 2 Ultimate Glimmer Booster Mod

Those planning to subcontract for Blink should consider modding their Ghost Vanquish and using the Rainmaker consumable item. Here'due south what they do:

  • Glimmer Boost (1-6 Energy, Ghost Modernistic): Increases Glimmer gains past 5-65%.
  • Rainmaker (Consumable): Precision kills accept a risk to create a shower of Glimmer. Effect lasts for iv hours.

Ghost Shell Glimmer Boosts can increase your Glimmer gains by up to 65%. This includes all Glimmer sources that drop in the world, and so virtually everything except bounties and the Flavour Pass. Rainmaker dramatically increases the amount of Glimmer enemies driblet, so consider using this detail if you start to run low on Glimmer. If you've been playing Destiny ii for a few dozen hours, you should have quite a few of these in your inventory.

Blink Subcontract #1: Talk to Rahool

Destiny 2 Rahool

Now that the Spider no longer exists, Rahool has taken his place equally the resource commutation vendor. Each day, Rahool will sell 3 resource types for Legendary Shards and three Blink bundles. Each bundle costs 25 of a particular resource.

Glimmer Farm #2: Farm Planetary Chests

Destiny 2 Expert Tracker Mod

Still non enough Glimmer? Hither's a quick combo to use with your Ghost's Blink Booster Modernistic. In the second slot on your Ghost will be a mod chosen Expert Hunter, allowing you to scan chests upward to 75 meters away from you. Apply it to your Ghost Shell, so head to your planet of choice. Most prefer the EDZ since information technology's jam-packed with breast spawn locations.

That's smashing, but we can practice a lot better. It'due south unknown if this is a bug or a feature, just peering through the scope of a sniper rifle extends that 75-meter radius to basically the entire map. Suddenly, every treasure chest in your current expanse will exist visible, with the only caveat being you have to at present have to painstakingly correct your Sniper Rifle's aim to exist in the full general direction of the chest to spot it.

Honestly, that doesn't accept very long, and y'all tin can easily whip out your Sniper Burglarize, spot a chest, hop on your Sparrow, open that chest, and repeat for all remaining chests in the region until you've made a few thousand Glimmer in just a few minutes. Then all you need to exercise is speed off to the next area to repeat the whole procedure over again. Merely go along in mind that these chests will stop granting Glimmer if you open besides many of them in a curt timeframe. If your Glimmer starts to taper off, consider farming Public Events or Patrols for a few minutes.

Glimmer Farm #iii: Subcontract Resources

Destiny 2 Dusklight Shard

This sounds counterintuitive, but Rahool's resource exchange is and then skilful that farming activities for Glimmer isn't equally time-effective as simply farming for the resource Rahool is asking for.

Check which resources is tied to Rahool'southward Blink substitution, so caput to the destination tied to said resource. For example, if Rahool is selling 10,000 Glimmer for 20 Dusklight Shards, and then you'd head to the EDZ.

When you get in at the destination, speak to the planetary vendor. Grab any bounties that grant resources. Equip the Wombo Combo mod on your Ghost, your favorite Sniper Burglarize, then hunt down some chests in your surface area. These will grant Glimmer and the occasional resource. Complete whatever resource bounties you've purchased while y'all're doing this.

Once the chest rewards showtime to taper off, look for Patrols and Public Events in your area. These will grant Glimmer and resource when completed. Exercise these until y'all either have plenty resources or the Blink penalty on chests gets lifted. Repeat this strategy until y'all can purchase enough Glimmer.
