Unlocking the Secrets of Legendary Lost Sectors in Destiny 2: Your Ultimate Guide
Chasing exotics in Destiny 2? You probably heard of “Legendary Lost Sectors” and “Master Lost Sectors.” They are indeed key. This guide will help you decode these rewarding activities.
Lost Sector Rotation and the Daily Grind
First, Lost Sectors change daily. Think of them as specials at a diner. Legendary Lost Sectors rotate daily, offering new locations for rewards. For those who love routine, reset happens like clockwork, daily and weekly, at the same reset time. Mark your calendars, Guardians.
Gaining Access to the Elite Lost Sectors
Want to enter a Legendary or Master Lost Sector? Not so fast. There’s a gatekeeping mechanism: you must conquer the normal version first. Prove your worth first. After clearing the regular version, the Legend and Master modes unlock.
How do you find your way? Watch for a banner. A banner shows outside the Lost Sector that is currently boosted to Legend or Master difficulty. It’s like a neon sign saying “Exotics this way!”. If you’re new, you must be at least Power Level 1800 to enter. That’s your VIP club entry requirement.
Farming Lost Sectors: Repetition is Your Friend
Now, let’s talk farming. Can you run Lost Sectors repeatedly? Absolutely! You can farm any Lost Sector as much as you like. The key is rhythm. Repeat the same Lost Sector. Why? Practice makes completion faster, offering more loot per hour. You’ll learn enemy patterns, optimal routes, and maybe respect those pesky Vandals.
Rewards and the Exotic Lottery
What are you fighting for? Legend Lost Sectors are a great source of materials and exotics. They are fantastic for dedicated players. But understand, exotic drops do not rain from the sky. Expect a grind. If you’re in a fireteam, FORGET ABOUT EXOTIC DROPS. You’ll get Enhancement Cores but no exotics. Farm solo for best chances.
Exotic Acquisition: Targeted Loot and the Rahool Connection
Tip: if you hunt new exotic armor pieces, Lost Sectors were once ideal. But things changed. Now, Master Rahool is the ONLY vendor for new exotic armor. They won’t drop from Lost Sectors or wild areas anymore.
What about specific exotics like Necrotic Grips? These are unlocked by completing Legend or Master Lost Sectors on Europa or Cosmodrome. Think targeted farming. If you haven’t seen a specific exotic, it MUST be unlocked from a Legend or Master Lost Sector first.
A word on Assassin’s Cowl: it ties to the Shadowkeep campaign. You must own Shadowkeep DLC and complete the campaign. Then Assassin’s Cowl enters the loot pool. After that, it can drop like other exotics. It’s NOT Lost Sector exclusive, so don’t farm it incessantly.
Difficulty and Time: The Clock is Ticking
Lost Sectors can be tough, especially on higher difficulties. In Season of the Lost, Legend difficulty was Power 1320; Master was 1350. Numbers may shift, but expect a challenge. Don’t linger; You have a 15-minute time limit in all Lost Sectors. Extra revives disappear afterward, and the game warns about time running out. Efficiency is essential, Guardians.
Exotic Focusing with Rahool: Becoming Best Friends with the Cryptarch
Remember Rahool? Your best friend for new exotics? He’s also vital for focusing exotic gear. You rank up Rahool by decoding engrams and focusing exotics. It’s a grind, but worth it.
If you want the Rime-Coat Raiment Titan Leg Armor, put in the work. You’ll need to hit Rank 16 with Master Rahool for tier 3 decoding. Tier 3 is essential. After maxing out Rahool’s reputation and resetting him, Tier 3 exotic focusing lets you target ANY exotic armor piece for your class. Yes, even those elusive ones you lack. The price? Exotic ciphers and engrams. For targeted loot? Worth it. So build your rapport with Rahool. Decode those engrams, and grow that reputation. Your collection will benefit.
You now understand Legendary Lost Sectors better. Go forth, Guardian, and farm those exotics. May your drops be plentiful and your runs be swift!
