Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sectors: Today’s rotation and recommended Power

Destiny 2’s Lost Sectors were an addition to the sequel’s. While they were bitesize additions to the universe back then, nowadays they serve an important gameplay focus as a way to get exotics missing from your arsenal. Here’s everything you need to know about Destiny 2’s Legendary Lost Sectors.

Legendary Lost Sectors are a relatively new addition to Destiny 2, coming in Season of the Worthy back in Shadowkeep. However, things have changed significantly since then, and now in Lightfall, they’re an important part of getting your hands on the Exotic armor you need. 

They’re also a great place to sharpen your endgame skills, as they offer a challenge that’s not quite as hard as Grandmaster Nightfalls or Master Raids, but they are a great stepping stone into that harder level of content. 

You’ll need to complete these to increase your Guardian Ranks and focus on the Exotic armor you’re missing. So what is the current rotation and how do you complete these harder Lost Sectors in Destiny 2? Don’t worry – we have you covered with everything you need to know. 

Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sectors difficulty: What Power Level are they?

Players can choose their difficulty for increased rewards.

Legendary Lost Sectors are tough versions of the normal Lost Sectors scattered throughout all of Destiny’s destinations. These updated spaces offer a big challenge, that while not on the difficulty curve of a Grandmaster Nightfall, is a great bridge to that higher-end game content. 

There are two difficulty settings you can choose from when entering a Legendary Lost Sector. They are as follows: 

These are obviously pretty steep requirements. We would not recommend trying these until you are at least 20 power levels away (1810 or 1820) and even then, that will be a significant challenge unless you’re a veteran player. You’re going to need to kill a wide array of enemies, including Champions, to get through, all with a -quasitime limit, so make sure you are at a reasonable power level going in.

Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sector rewards: What Exotics can you get?

Clearing all the Champions will get you a lot of rewards on completion

Legendary Lost Sectors, while tougher than most of the base game content, are equally rewarding too. They offer you the chance to get reasonable resources, as well as many different exotic armors across each class. 

For a completion where you kill all of the Champions, you have a chance at getting a random Exotic drop at the end of the run. Each day, which Exotic you can earn in which slot (Helmet, Arm, Chest, and Legs) will change along with the Lost Sector.

It’s not guaranteed that you’ll get an Exotic after a completion though, so get ready to run a couple of times. The common consensus is that Legend has a 25% chance to drop an Exotic, while Master is 33%. That said, Bungie has recently said they’ve increased the chance, although it’s not clear by how much.

You can get any Exotic to drop from a Legendary Lost Sector, though it is weighted to give you ones you don’t have. Because there are Lost Sector exclusive Exotics, you will be getting those first before opening up your pool further. Here are all the Legendary Lost Sector exclusive Exotics for each class:

Warlock

Titan

Hunter

Once you’ve unlocked your class’s Exotics, you can still do a Legendary Lost Sector and re-earn any exotic armor in the game (on the class you are playing). 

However, it is not just Exotics you can get. In an update about the difficulty and rewards, Bungie announced that the rewards for Lost Sector completions have changed. While Exotics are the main reason to do these, even if you don’t get one to drop, you will get enhancement cores and prisms. For each completion you’ll get at least:

• Two Enhancement Cores and a medium chance of one more. 
• One Enhancement prism and a small chance of one more.

While it would take some time, this is a reliable way to get your enhancement prisms up.

Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sector Schedule

Be sure to use cover. Some enemies hit hard!

Legendary Lost Sectors rotate every day, offering both a new exotic slot (Head, Gauntlets, Chest, Legs) and location.

Every Lost Sector is different. The number and kinds of Champions as well as the elemental shield types of enemies will change from location to location, so be ready to adjust your loadout accordingly. 

Here is the current Lost Sector schedule for Season of Defiance:

April

May

And that’s pretty much everything you need to know about Legendary Lost Sectors in Destiny 2.

They are a great bit of solo content to do and will set you on the path toward truly difficult content like Grandmaster Nightfalls and Master raids.
