The loot cave from Destiny 1 is a legend. Images of Guardians shooting at a specific spot for hours circulated shortly after the launch of Destiny 1. Now a new farming spot has emerged in Destiny 2. It is also considered a loot cave, and Guardians farm loot and glimmer for hours. But is it really the same?
The loot cave in Destiny 1 was famous. Since Destiny initially offered so few ways to level up, Guardians sought creative ways to accumulate a lot of loot in a short time. They wanted to “farm loot.”
Treasure seekers found it in the Cosmodrome of Old Russia. There, a handful of Hive enemies would spawn within 6 seconds, which had to be taken out quickly to ensure a steady supply.
To ensure new enemies would spawn, players had to position themselves quite far from this spot. For hours, players shot everything that came out of the cave.
The objects of desire: Engrams. Rare and legendary engrams were among the most sought-after items in Destiny 1.
Later, the loot cave was closed – and Bungie left a warning in the cave for new players.
Is there a loot cave in Destiny 2? – A clear maybe!
There is a type of loot cave in Destiny 2, but it doesn’t work like the farming spot in Destiny 1.
The cave in Destiny 2 revolves around farming chests, which include legendary engrams and tokens needed for building reputation with the planetary factions. Finding the chests in the open is possible, but more time-consuming.
The trick works as follows: Fly to the planet Nessus. Directly from the main spawn point, you can head straight to a cave (yes, really), where one of the coveted chests can appear in many spots.
To generate new chests, you need to quickly change areas. Enter the portal and walk a short distance until a new area is displayed at the bottom left. Now you can turn around and search the area for chests.
The exact path to the cave is provided by the following video:
The loot cave as a glimmer farming spot
Not only can you gather loot in the loot cave. It is also an excellent spot for glimmer. Especially for players who have spent all their savings with Banshee and his mods, the loot cave offers a good opportunity to farm and obtain glimmer.
Pro tip: Buy consumables from Cayde-6 that show nearby chests on the corresponding planets. Use the item and equip a sniper rifle. As soon as you step through the portal into the area with the chests, take a look through the scope of the sniper. All nearby chests should now be displayed directly.
Best farming spot? What you can farm in the loot cave in Destiny 2
Tokens for leveling up the faction on Nessus and the chance for engrams. So far, this is the best farming spot found, and it is only suitable for solo players. Lucrative activities for groups are not yet known, but if players have proven one thing, it is their limitless creativity.
