This week, there are new, coveted Ghost shells at Destiny for Valentine’s Day. Some players are farming them with a macabre trick.
Currently, the Crimson Days are in full swing. There are a few new bounties, a quest, emotes, and a few rewards that you can snag. Particularly coveted are the Ghost shells that can drop up to Light Level 320. They also look quite funny.
Of course, the savvy Guardians among us have already figured out a trick on how to proceed most efficiently when hunting for loot: through suicide.
Initially, the Guardians start as “couples” in a Crimson double, the new 2vs2 PvP event. Then they throw themselves into the abyss, killing themselves, effectively dying for each other.
It has been shown that the chance for loot is always the same, no matter how many kills players have achieved.
If you only want these Ghost shells, and do so as quickly as possible, you simply need to copy the fate of Romeo and Juliet and repeat it a few times. The players on the other side of the “Suicide Teams” have the same advantages, quickly grabbing loot. So if you encounter opponents using this tactic, don’t be surprised… it is madness, but there is method in it.
In various online forums, you can already find Guardians looking for partners to go into suicide together. Macabre, but apparently effective. Destiny will face the consequences of its “We don’t consider performance in the outcome of matches” policy.
