5 Proven Methods To Get The Best Exotic and Legendary Gear In Destiny

You have just completed every mission in Destiny and are now on level 20, but don't celebrate too quickly as your adventure has really just begun. Using these five tested methods here is how you can get your hands on Destiny's most desired exotic and legendary gear.

Great detailed article. Farming for exotic and legendary gears is my number one agenda this week. Been seeing a couple of players with some pretty sweet looking gear.
I have been using the vanguard marks method but some of these other ideas are a great way to mix it up.

GearSkiN3506d ago

It's really random unless you do nightfall higher chances of getting one, and raid deff will get legendary or exotic, I found A primary shotgun so now I can carry two shooty, got it from farming.

ScottyHoss3506d ago

Did I read that correctly? A primary shotgun?! :'D

JetsFool35003506d ago

Universal Remote! I want that shotty so much

Avernus3506d ago

The raid is not guaranteed a drop btw. There's a chance you'll get a drop, not "deff".

Dontworrybhappy3506d ago

My friend got that shotty. Been bragging all day... bastard

Kidmyst3506d ago

So many places I read on level 20 say the same "you just finished the last mission and are level 20". I must have done it wrong, I've been playing Crucible and am level 20 and just finished Venus. Oops :) I kid though, it really does unlock more fun after like even level 18. Hopefully I start getting some stuff with light in the armor.

kaizokuspy3500d ago

Every first instance, you get a guaranteed drop at each checkpoint and from loot chests. it may or may not be geAR, shards or weapons. But it is guarunteed

I have tried every single one of these so called "Proven methods" to get Legendary gear, and after 40 hours, I am still level 24 with not one single piece of Legendary gear. I have never even seen a Legendary engram before. I bet that when I finally DO get an engram, it will end up being an Uncommon or Rare item..... The loot system really needs to be worked on. I'm getting a shit tonne of green engrams, like why? I'm level 24, why would I ever use a green item?

Admittedly I COULD have grind-ed the shit out of Vanguard or Crucible rep to buy gear, but I enjoy doing many different things in Destiny, not one thing repeatedly, because that is how I will kill my Destiny bug.

GusBricker3506d ago

I'd suggest doing the vanguard stuff, you can at least get some armor on level 2.

ScottyHoss3506d ago

Try joining a faction, let's you achieve more with the variety you enjoy, and the armour abilities are more specific to certain play styles. I have the same problem as you, was at 24 for a week before finally getting rank two dead orbit today. We just have really bad luck, every one of my friends has found multiple legendary items within days of becoming level 20.

iceman063506d ago

It's just really bad luck. I am in the same boat that you are. However, playing in the Crucible last night, several of my teammates got more than one legendary in about 3 hours. Me...NOPE!!! I got a couple of blue engrams and some crappy head and chest armors.

mrmack003506d ago

Me too man.. Me too.. This random nonsense is so heartbreaking.. My friend gets exotics and legendary.. I'm stuck at 25 with two pieces. And im limited to 100 vanguard marks a week

There's an error in this article. Exotic Engrams guarantee a piece of exotic armor, just for a random class.

Conzul3506d ago (Edited 3506d ago )

To everyone who's bitching...

I felt your pain. But then I put about 30 hrs into the Crucible.
You will be bored and you will suck hard, but DO NOT GIVE UP.

30 hrs later, I have two Exotics from Xur; all Legendary armor; and the Venation III hand cannon. Went back to Coop Strikes where the fun is.

metalmatters3506d ago

so your suggestion is to grind at Crucible for hours on with hopes you randomly earn a legendary piece? would you at least recommend playing all forms of crucible or just control?

Conzul3506d ago

6v6 Clash is better IMO.
And even IF you never once get a Legendary drop, you'll still be Crucible Rank 2 easily.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter335d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell334d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig335d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast335d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g334d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka334d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai486d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface485d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard482d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
