Recently, the Tribute Hall has opened in Destiny 2, where you can unlock up to 50 Tributes. For some players, this can become quite an effort. But is it really worth it to fully complete the Hall? What reward is there in the end?
What is the Tribute Hall? With the weekly reset on July 9, the Tribute Hall was introduced in Destiny 2. This is your very own area aboard the giant Cabal ship Leviathan. This small palace was built by the Cabal Emperor Calus in your honor. There you can display certain trophies, obtain the new exotic pulse rifle Bad Juju, and even set up and expand your own shooting range.
What are the Tributes for? The Tribute Hall revolves around the titular Tributes. These must be offered there to further expand your shooting range or unlock certain rewards. You can submit up to 50 Tributes in total.
You can either unlock these at the Calus statue in the hall (still) quite expensively in exchange for various currencies and planetary materials or by earning certain Triumphs.
Why the effort? Even though gathering the Tributes is quick for some, it can become a huge effort for many Guardians.
If you previously stockpiled a generous amount of Glimmer and materials, you’ll quickly gather most of the Tributes. Also, those who have already invested some in the special Triumphs of the Tribute Hall or may have completed them have a significant advantage.
However, those who do not have many materials or Glimmer and Shine Dust, or do not want to spend them all, can expect quite a long grind.
The price for the purchasable Tributes can be reduced by up to 80%, but to do so, you must complete the 4 bounties of the statue daily with at least one character. Each one grants a 1% discount.
Getting to the 80% might take a while even with multiple characters, and the progress with multiple characters seems to be buggy. And even then, you still need to part with a decent amount of the required materials. Additionally, earning the special Tribute Hall Triumphs might take some time.
What rewards are there? Rewards are given for unlocking certain Triumphs and achieving a certain number of Tributes. For example, you need to offer 18 Tributes for the quest of the new weapon Exotic Bad Juju and a whopping 45 for the corresponding masterpiece catalyst. If you reach a full 80% discount, there is a special emblem.
Is the effort worth it for all 50 Tributes? But what do you actually get when you submit all 50 Tributes? Is there a special reward? Is this huge effort worth it for some?
No, it is really not worth it – at least not to specifically work towards the 50 Tributes. Because the final reward is just a Triumph and an exotic gesture resulting from it – the emote “Where the X is”.
Many Guardians are disappointed with the final reward. So you won’t really miss anything if you can’t gather 50 Tributes and the grind annoys you.
However, the effort for 45 Tributes is definitely worth it. Because with that, you unlock the masterpiece catalyst for the new exotic pulse rifle Bad Juju, which significantly improves the weapon.
If you want to have it, you won’t be far from the 50 and can almost casually pick up the gesture. However, if your nerves and patience don’t last for the last 5, you really won’t miss anything gameplay-relevant. It is not worth going to extra effort, especially if you are not interested in the masterpiece catalyst or feel that the effort is not worth it.
What do you think of the final reward for the 50 Triumphs? Did you expect more? Is the effort worth it in your opinion?
