As a looter shooter,Destiny 2thrives off of having unique weapons and armor to chase.

While playing any activity in Destiny 2 gives you loot, not all loot is created equal.

Some activities take too long to complete, don’t grant valuable rewards, or sometimes both.

10Best: Legendary Lost Sectors

Beyond Light introduced a difficult variant of Lost Sectors.

There are two Legendary Lost Sectors available each day, one Legend and the other Master.

Master Lost Sectors have a higher chance of dropping an Exotic armor piece but are significantly harder.

Destiny 2 Cellular Suppression

Target-farming Exotics has never been easier after Bungie added this activity.

This is by far the best Exotic armor farm for solo players in Destiny 2.

9Not Worth It: Astral Alignment

Season of the Lost introduced an activity called Astral Alignment.

Destiny 2 Astral Alignment Guide Featured

This activity takes around ten minutes to complete and grants a weapon or armor piece, sometimes both.

Unless you need Powerful Gear or theAger’s ScepterCatalyst, there’s virtually no reason to play Astral Alignment.

If you want a good Vulpecula or Fractathyst, go farm and focus Umbral Engrams instead.

8Best: Nightfalls

Nightfalls are the definite way of farming Masterwork materials for your weapons and armor.

Enhancement Cores, Enhancement Prisms, and Ascendant Shards can all be earned from this playlist.

The higher the difficulty, the better loot you’ll receive.

Destiny 2 Champion

Higher difficulties also have a high chance of granting an Exotic armor piece.

Those that want tomin-max their buildwill want to farm this activity whenever they can.

Various seasons also addedfantastic Nightfall weaponsfor players to chase.

Destiny 2 Splicer Gambit Gild Featured

It also has some great weapons to chase, yet there’s one problem: its Gambit.

This mode hasn’t seen any substantial changes since Gambit Prime during Year 2.

Good luck getting the roll you want.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Atheon

Praedyth’s Revenge deals more damage per second than Succession with the right roll.

You get the idea.

Vault of Glass has a fantastic selection of guns.

Destiny 2 Crucible Titan

If Valor ranks got such a massive rework, what interesting loot did Bungie give the Glory playlist?

Season of the Splicer fixed an issue where Glory was increasing at a slow rate.

This mode has been neglected more than Gambit, and it has even worse rewards.

Destiny 2 Trials Flawless Tips Featured

The end result is a much healthier playlist that showers players in loot.

If you’re a great PvP player, this is effectively a PvP variant ofGM Nightfalls.

Its reward structure is that good.

Destiny 2 Season of the Hunt

3Not Worth It: Wrathborn Hunts

Season of the Hunt introduced Wrathborn Huntsto Destiny 2.

Completing a mission grants a certain item based on what Lure Mods are slotted into your Cryptolith Lure.

The issue is that Bungie locked these hunts behind a moderate degree of busywork.

Destiny 2 Prophecy Hexahedron

Players can only do five hunts sequentially before they need to farm more charges.

Charging your lure has different objectives that rotate daily, ranging from getting precision kills to completing Gambit matches.

Even your reward options are randomly generated with every hunt.

Destiny 2 Cabal Public Event

Want to farm a Deafening Whisper?

You better hope you get that option after every hunt.

Your first completion of an encounter grants an item you have yet to receive.

Live-Service Games

Nearly every weapon in this dungeon is excellent, and armor almost always drops with high stats.

Unlike the raid,you’re free to even solo this dungeonif you have the right gear.

The days of farming public events for Exotics are long gone.

You would be better off spending that time elsewhere.
