Destiny 2 Lost Sector Exotic drops raised at Legend, Master difficulty
Destiny 2 Lost Sectors now have increased drop rates for solo players at Legendary and Master difficulties, according to hotfix patch notes posted by Bungie earlier today. The increase in Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sector and Master Lost Sector drops came after a four-hour outage during which Bungie also fixed a bug in the FPS game that made some Guardians and their weapons in Destiny 2 turn invisible.
The change in Destiny 2 Lost Sector drop rates comes amid complaints that such activities currently recommend an 1830 Power level for Legendary Lost Sectors and an 1840 Power level for Master Lost Sectors. From a relative perspective, this makes them notably more difficult than in previous iterations. The seasonal Power cap is 1850, granting players a maximum advantage of only ten above their enemies on Master difficulty. As a result, some players are saying they are not worth completing because they offer minimal rewards with only a slight chance for an Exotic piece of gear.

Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for March 10-14
Destiny 2 Lightfall’s latest hidden Exotic quest reminds me why I still love the game, despite everything
There I was, kicking my heels after racing through an absurd amount of content the night of the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset – I’d done some main missions, done the social calls to catch up with each of my vendor pals, and was considering flexing my inner masochist in the Crucible to see out the night. Then, just as I swung my chair around and set my sights on Shaxx, a Reddit post caught my eye… “there’s a new Exotic quest called ‘The Variable’” it said.
Reading on, I saw that it was in the EDZ – that’s all I needed to know. I hopped onto my ship and hightailed it back to earth’s sludgiest battleground. Lo and behold, after a few minutes of scouting the area out on my Sparrow, I’d found it… or, at least, the path to it. Strange Vex data blights pinged off my radar, and a quick-and-easy ‘follow the light’ puzzle later, I’d wandered into a new cave in the old Earth area. And it’s here, against all odds, Destiny would redeem itself.
I’ve not been kind about Lightfall. Yes, I think there are some really cool moments, and yes, I have had some great fun playing through the Legend campaign. But overall, it’s a crapshoot – a weird tonal aberration that undoes so much of the work The Witch Queen did in righting the shaky storytelling of this nearly decade-old experience. But Destiny is so much more than its campaigns; the game lives and dies on its seasonal content, and the way it keeps bringing players back into its best-in-class FPS sandbox. And little missions like this newly added NODE.OVRD.AVAL.ON quest are great examples of where Bungie really succeeds.
Destiny 2 Vexcalibur exotic glaive guide – how to start the quest
How do you start the Destiny 2 Vexcalibur exotic glaive quest? The Destiny 2 Vexcalibur is a reward from a secret questline called The Variable that players can access from the EDZ. While it’s not difficult to earn, you still have to find the quest starting location and complete some objectives before beginning the mission to grant access to it. This seasonal exotic will eventually allow players to craft versions that leverage special catalysts to make it extraordinarily powerful, so it’s worth pursuing.
The Destiny 2 Vexcalibur is another exotic on the Destiny 2 Lightfall exotics list. Here’s what you need to know to start the quest in the popular FPS game.

How To Get The Vexcalibur, Destiny 2 Lightfall’s New Secret Exotic Glaive
Destiny 2 loves giving players secret missions for exotic gear and Lightfall isn’t bringing that tradition to an end. If you head to the EDZ and land in The Gulch, you might notice a series of Vex nodes floating around and chirping out some kind of message. Collecting these is the first step in a new quest to get the Exotic glaive, Vexcalibur. Here’s how to get it:
First collect all six Vex nodes
There are six of these nodes scattered around The Gulch and you have to collect them all under a time limit. Luckily for us, the time limit is pretty forgiving to begin with and collecting subsequent nodes adds time on top of it. Here’s where to find all six of the nodes:
This node sits just under a stretch of broken highway near the lost sector to the south.
How to get Destiny 2 Outbreak Perfected exotic pulse rifle
How do you get Destiny 2 Outbreak Perfected? There’s quite a bit to do here, but it’s not nearly as complicated as the quest to get Outbreak Prime in the first Destiny, which involved using binary inside the Wrath of the Machine raid to open several doors, alongside more math-oriented quest steps.
Much like the Destiny 2 Outbreak Prime, the Outbreak Perfected comes with the Corruption Spreads perk in the free PC game, which spawns SIVA nanites that deal damage to nearby enemies on rapid hits and precision kills. There’s a new perk, too, though called Parasitism and it causes Outbreak Perfected to deal bonus damage to the enemies the SIVA nanites have stuck to.
