In the MMO shooter Destiny, the loot caves, the most popular farming spots for engrams, glimmer, and EXP, have now been closed twice. But another treasure cave has appeared in the Shattered Coast on Venus.
Skywatch, the first loot cave in Destiny, has been closed for a while, along with some other spots. They have gained some fame in the already short stories of Destiny. The original treasure cave, the root of all evil, has even been memorialized. The treasure caves were ultimately just spawn points where easily defeatable enemies emerged in large numbers and at high speed from their holes to be taken down as quickly as possible and to relieve them of their loot. It is important to pay attention to certain things; it is crucial not to block the spawn point, so one must not stand too close, and every wave must be completely defeated if the next one is to spawn.
Bungie is – as we know – not a big fan of this farming method and wants players to participate in dynamic events instead, hence the closure of the previous farming spots.
After the closure of the first round, trigger-happy but lazy players primarily farmed spots on the Rocketyard. Here it has been busy since Tuesday. Should all treasure caves, all farming spots, all loot caves really be closed? No, not really.
Even now, a video has surfaced showing the latest treasure cave. It resembles the original loot cave, so you should position yourselves with several players as far from the entrance as possible and then shoot away with weapons that have the greatest range. The spot works best with two or three guardians, otherwise, there is a risk that the Dregs will run behind one of the pillars and interrupt the spawn.
Whether the loot caves are still worthwhile today or if it is a bit silly is up to each individual to decide. People seem to be crazy about these spots. But players who are drawn to Venus to pay tribute to the loot gods should hurry. This spot won’t last long either.
Here is a summary of the spot:
