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. Selection a brusque Lost Sector and farm information technology. Widow's Walk in the EDZ's Trostland is an ideal pick because—with the correct build—you lot tin walk in, impale the boss, loot the breast, and exit within seconds. Any Dreaming Metropolis and Moon Lost Sector will work too.

To do this, your best option is to bring a high-damage Heavy weapon of some kind, but whatsoever loftier-damage elemental weapon should be fine. Go in, quickly take down the boss before other enemies can overwhelm you, and so have your Glimmer and go out. Even if you die at that point, it's fine because yous can just head outside of the Lost Sector to practice information technology all over again.

Keep in mind that this "farm" tin can't exist used also oft. After multiple runs, the Glimmer rewards will taper off until it's non actually worth doing anymore. But this is another option to brand some quick Blink thanks to your Blink Booster mods.

This sounds counterintuitive, but Rahool'due south resource substitution is so proficient that farming activities for Glimmer isn't equally time-effective every bit only farming for the resource Rahool is request for.

Check which resources is tied to Rahool'south Blink commutation, then head to the destination tied to said resource. For case, if Rahool is selling 10,000 Blink for xx Dusklight Shards, then you lot'd head to the EDZ.

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

In one case the chest rewards start to taper off, expect for Patrols and Public Events in your surface area. These volition grant Glimmer and resource when completed. Do these until you either have enough resources or the Glimmer penalty on chests gets lifted. Repeat this strategy until you can buy enough Glimmer.
