Destiny 2 - Super Good Advice

Thought it'd be useful to new and returning players for D2 to have a place for all SGA and Pro Tips, etc.

First up is Heroic Events (shamefully stolen from Reddit) -

0:43 - Fallen Glimmer Event (You must destroy all 3 glimmer nodes. If you're shooting a node and it's showing damage numbers, that's probably it.)
1:34 - Fallen Ether Event (You must destroy all small Servitors that assist the big one.)
2:03 - Spider Tank Event on Titan (You must disable all 3 forcefields by using 6 arc charges, 2 per forcefield.)
2:44 - Witches Ritual Event (You must destroy the 2 shielded crystals by standing on the Hex Circles.)
3:25 - Vex Construction Event (You must activate all 3 Vex plates by standing in them until 100%.)
4:02 - Cabal Extraction (You must destroy the Cabal Thresher ship that patrols the area.)
4:38 - Taken Event (Stepping in and out of the smaller blights gives you a buff which then allows you to damage the main blight. Do enough damage and a boss will spawn).

There is also this imgur post which is a little easier on the eyes than a wall of text.

Pressing both start and select at the same time takes you straight to the map and saves valuable seconds compared to holding the select button.

If you have a spare sparrow alt characters can make use of them from level 1.

I think it might be touchpad + start on PS4.

Crap never thought about that, some of the travelling round is painful early on and just started a warlock

You can ride your sparrow over the white lakes on Nessus and not take any damage.

Collecting all the Regional Chests and Looting all the Lost Sectors the 1st time (they go from Grey to Dull Yellow indicating you have looted them the 1st time) is a good way to go up about 30 Power Levels after you have hit the 200 Power Level you would approximately be at by the end of the campaign and hitting level 20.

Doesn't take a whole lot of time and tbh you can go it fairly chill and solo with some TV on in the background as you go. The drops aside, you will be swimming in Tokens for the 4 Planetary Vendors so it's pretty time-efficient way of gearing up as it takes maybe 2-3 hours to do them all. And the tokens can be held onto until you hit lvl260 meaning the Legendary engrams you get will be 260+ and even used on your other characters if needed

What is the light cap, 300?

TitianGerm · 09-09-2017 8:36pm

You can inspect Exotic Engram to see what it is going to drop. The selection resets every five minutes so if you inspect and don't see anything you want or need them wait the five minutes and have a new selection.

I thought so too originally but it's not true. The preview rotates every few minutes alright but that has no bearing on what actually drops....for example you could get something that didn't show up in your preview list.

350.

300 unlocks prestige nightfall though.

seems odd that legendary engrams cap at 265 when the actual light level is sooooo much higher.

My blues were dropping at 270 yesterday (I'm 275). Not sure if its a bug or the grind system.

Started on my Alt yesterday. Knowing the system better how i'm hoping to break 300. (Don't actually know if this is possible yet)

Is there still away of checking your last played crucible and strikes?

Up on the D-Pad when you're in orbit I think it is, there's a command at the bottom of the screen for recent results or something along those lines.

Looking to check medals. Wiped out a full team with a Nova in the early hours. Screen was lit.

Ah yeah, I've no idea how to check medals. Was that even in the first game? I can't remember now. Destinytracker might be the best bet.

Found this on Reddit for the Sturm exotic quest - Killing powerful fallen on Nessus part.

"Simply start up the Exodus Siege adventure on Nessus, kill the cloaked fallen scout who spawns 50ft from the beacon and starts running at you, abandon activity like you would a patrol, and restart. Whole process took less than five minutes and about 100 rounds of ammunition"

DaveNoCheese · 11-09-2017 1:21pm

If you've started a second character and reached level 20, you can swap over the mida mini tool and banshee will automatically give you the quest for the mulit tool. This will be a good means of getting a decent exotic fairly early for alt characters.

You can also complete the enhance quest at a later time and banshee will again give you the multi tool quest so you can get it twice.

Can you not transfer over the actual high light mida?

Also won't a copy go into your collection so you can just buy it again.

DaveNoCheese · 11-09-2017 2:08pm

emmetkenny wrote: »

You can yes but this is a handy and quick way to get a second mida and avoid having to swap it back and forth.

OptimusTractor wrote: »

And this way you won't have to waste resources buying it again.

Plus it'll help jump up a few levels, especially when you get the second mida on the alt character

Yep, but it would give a shortcut to getting another 385 scout rifle.

There is an anti-farming lock out if you open too many region and random chests within 5 minutes. Happened to me yesterday while collecting Cayde-6 treasure chests, the last chest rewarded nothing
