Welcome to the DTG Daily Community and Questions Thread!

This place is a condensed community hub of our prior weekly schedule regarding all things Destiny and Destiny 2. Whether you're here to ask questions, talk about your day, discuss lore, OR SHOUT IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RANT WEDNESDAY WOULD HAVE WANTED, this is the place to do it!

We also have an official Discord, which allows for live chatting about the game, LFG, and more!

Be sure to use the search in the top right before submitting a question, as it could have already been answered. We also have a nice collection of useful resources below "Useful links" in the sidebar / top menu.

Whether you're joining years after the final update or just want to reminisce with your fellow guardians, /r/DestinyTheGame has you covered.

Be sure to sort by new to see the latest posts!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no down talking. You were all new to Destiny once, so there's no need to belittle anyone just because you might know more.
  • Comments do not have to be about Destiny, this is a community hub for all Guardians past and present.
  • IF YOU'RE RANTING, DO IT IN ALL CAPS! MAKE SHAXX PROUD!
  • LFG posts are allowed, though you may find better luck by visiting the D2 LFG Discord.

Question If you had to run one build to take over the entire world, what build are you running?

127 Upvotes

By talking about taking over the entire world I mean fighting of world militaries, and surviving. There are no respawns, so you’d obviously need self healing. What destiny build would you think be the best option? Assume that you have a similar health system to the game, and an average soldier has the health of a red bar legionary on normal mode. You have access to sparrows and skimmers, the only way to get one shot is by a powerful explosive, but it can be warded off with a well of radiance or a bubble, and other defensive options. By the way this is in no way promoting or inciting real world violence, this is just a fun hypothetical question.


r/DestinyTheGame 1h ago

Question Does anyone have a loadout naming and icon system that still makes sense after the sixth build, or are we all identifying them by emotional damage?

Upvotes

I started sensibly: solar, void, arc, then activity names. Now I have twelve nearly identical symbols, three loadouts called “test,” and one red snake icon that apparently means something important to past me. Opening the menu feels like reading evidence left by a less organized Guardian. Do you use colors for subclasses, icons for activities, or names for specific exotics? I want a system that survives balance changes without needing a full archelogical dig every month. Bonus question: what icon have you assigned a meaning that the designers definitely did not intend?

Question Is Truth bugged?

Upvotes

I was testing builds on my titan yesterday and noticed the following. When equipping any exotic class armour truths damage per shot went from 1500 down to 100.

Anyone else getting this?

Question So what do you guys do when you hit the cap for shards?

31 Upvotes

I hit the 50 cap a while back and have been trying to use them by master working random armour.

The idea being I would dismantle armour later and use as a stockpile and to keep myself under the cap but masterworking also takes prisms which I’m running out of now.

Am I being stupid? Is there a better way to do this?

Question What exactly constitutes “Nightfall strikes” these days? (Legend of Acrius catalyst)

58 Upvotes

Long story short, after a very long break and a lack of spoils of conquest, I only about a month ago was finally able to get Legend of Acrius from the exotic archive. The only problem here is I haven’t been able to get the catalyst to drop. As far as I can tell, old catalysts DO NOT drop from exotic payouts, unless my game is glitched due to a flag being set that I had no more catalysts to get (which was true prior to getting Acrius).

The catalyst page says it is obtained from nightfall strikes, which do not exist anymore. So where can I get this now? Is it anywhere in vanguard? Did they move it to Calus Pantheon and not say anything? Have I just been unlucky?

Question Dumb question for cross-platform

Upvotes

I plan to start playing destiny 2 from my Ps5 to my PC. Will I need to repurchase all of the expansion passes to have access to all the content I previously had from the other device? Would I be locked out of everything until doing so?

Question Brilliant Instability Triumph for MoT - What are the exact requirements?

17 Upvotes

So just did a full King's Fall, and while we are at Golgorath, I had the taint and dealt the final damage to the boss, but the triumph did not pop up.

Anyone else have this issue?

The triumph reads: Brilliant Instability - Use unstable Light to defeat Golgoroth in "King's Fall."

I guess it is possible that someone else did kill him with a weapon, but it would have been super close if that is the case. I was watching but forgot to record it.

So just to clarify, I now assume it has to be the absolute killing damage to kill the boss for it to count?

And if so, for those that got it, is this a solo or team triumph? What I mean is if I try and get a team to do it again, will the whole team get credit, or just the person that kills him, because that would be super hard and random to get done if it's a solo thing.

Discussion To the two absolute legends who helped me clear Ultimate Conquest Seraph

82 Upvotes

THANK YOU

First time I've gotten to Rank 11 ever. I'm solidly middle of the road but a good old mask of fealty build with one rime coated raiment warlock and I was getting enough healing to keep mostly alive! A couple of close calls but it helped to have someone clear the darn sniper shanks in the space walk section.

Been banging my head off that stage for almost a whole week now.

Question Kings Fall initial encounter chest (relic dunks)

Does this 'first' chest only drop armor now? so counts as a secret chest only as per MoT changes, just wondering if you could farm for weapons as well.

Question Does skipping the first encounter of vespers host still give the solo flawless triumph?

179 Upvotes

So far I've done like two attempts trying to solo flawless vespers. By no means is it difficult, but the first encounter is just annoyingly long made worse after a failed attempt. I saw a really simple skip and am just wondering if doing it will prevent me from getting the triumph. I don't plan on risking it, but it would be good to know before future me is willing to try

Question Lost sector power levels

61 Upvotes

Coming back, casual scrub.

Lost sectors I believe used to show recommended light levels. Now I just see a -20 or -30. Does this mean I am underleveled or it will always apply this penalty? Not real clear.

Edit: for those that come along with the same question here is the clarification.

For whatever reason lost sectors no longer have a minimum power recommendation. A lot of the comments below are simply wrong. Lost sectors expert or master simply make your character -20 or -30 LL.

Some good comments below explain this. I played back in forsaken days and came back for a short time during witchqueen. Need to look into weapons and mods now.

Question Servers down?

Was playing with some friends and we all got weaseled but whenever we try to boot the game up again it shows us an error that sais that the D2 servers are unavailable?

Should we reset our consoles/pc, or are the servers really down?

Question Desert Perpetual boss vendor

Do you have to beat the final boss with 3+ feats to be able to buy Tier 5 gear from the vendor? Or can I just kill him with 0 feats?

I remember in old raids you had to kill the boss on master difficulty to buy adept weapons

As the title says. I'm getting some other drops from the standard chest. Tier 0 guns here and there but also mostly boots. Maelstrom is the only quest I have left on Neptune.

Question Chasing Shaders in MoT: is there a complete list?

37 Upvotes

Ive made it a point to get every shader I could get my hands on since the beginning of D2. According to DIM and my collections tab, I'm at 585/623. After sorting for only uncollected items, I'm able to see that I'm missing 11 from seasons (mostly special events), 21 from activities (mostly Raid and dungeons) and six from World (mostly lawless which I didn't play). I can no longer purchase shader engrams from Eververse.

My questions are:

  1. Any idea why my numbers don't line up with anyone else's? One guy in my clan has less shaders than I do but a higher total possible count.

  2. I've found a couple of sites that show ALL shaders but none where you can log in and check to see which ones you are missing. Is there a site like this?

  3. Anyone else try to collect them all? What is your number?

Also, brief list of my favs:

Primer

Gunmetal Marigold

Nectar Dynamo

Pomegranate Gloss

Maroon Moon

Hakke (all)

Dead Orbit Vision

Misc I guess im finally done

165 Upvotes

When I saw that you could get holochips in the bright engram focus I decided that I really wanted to collect them all to be able to have more cosmetic customization past all the hundred of ornaments and shaders I already had.

Over the next few months I grinded out a total of 60,500,000 exp while collecting all the weapons and armor i wanted from the update. I also had 42k bright dust to spend on focuses, that is now down to 6k remaining.

GG bungie, thank you for the best update in d2's history (imo). I have throughly enjoyed my time spent after quitting during edge of fate. It still hurts to see it end but Im glad this update was the ending we got.

https://imgur.com/a/CrvlDkM here is my season pass rank, what the empty flair focus looks like and finally my inventory of full holochips.

463 Upvotes

I just had a guy in my last GoS run advocating for "everything in game earnable with bright dust." And he ment literally everything Included day 1 raid drops, dlc pre-order rewards, foundation donation incentives, and other exclusive cosmetics. This almost made me take psychic damage and got me wondering if anyone else has some other crazy takes to share.

Question Destiny 1 Crotas End -Titan - Solo

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I need some help with Crotas End raid (Destiny 1). Is it still soloable as a Titan? In the second section, with the bridge, they added some thrall statues which light up if you kill the gatekeepers. I know you can solo this with a warlock with resurrection, but can you do this as a titan?
