lost sectors are dumb now

[SleepyDirtBoy]

it was perfect and now i cant even make it past the first part of any lost sector. ♥♥♥♥ you bungie

[Emurinus]

There was no need to raise the light cap on it to Master level imo.

[KuroVersal]

It's actually as easy as it was before. You need to abuse strand to have one of abilities to stun champions and one weapon for different type of champions. Mix it with correct surge, weapon type for max dps and energy type. If you do this difficulty is exactly same as before. Just need to think a bit more before going into Lost Sector.

[Jordan_Peterson]

wait what?
I do them all the time and they are easy. Are you doing them on legendary?
I have no idea how hard they are on leg.

[Nakos]

Yeah, we're talking about Legendary. Normal mode is fine, although I still think the Neomuna ones are a bit over tuned (especially the Hydroponics one).

Did a lot of Legendary runs during Witch Queen and had a lot of fun with them.

Here in S20? I don't think I'll have hit a high enough Light Level to even think about even trying them for another week or two. And I'm not too optimistic even then.

Whats usually a good level to do them easily?
I am at 1815 right now, but totally un-optimized and just take any exotic random weapon and rank9 gear. Still have to figure out the game.

The way they're set now, you're always going to be at -15, so ... you might as well give them a shot, you're basically at the max level you can be for them.

They have locked equipment, so you need to pick your loadout before you go in. There'll be a banner outside which will give you the details.

You'll need to be able to deal with two types of Champions (you'll encounter about 4 to 6, depending). There'll be a preferred spec (which'll have a damage bonus) and there may be as many as two types of shields to deal with. If you don't have a weapon that matches equipped, the shields will be VERY strong.

You also get a limited number of revives, and a time limit. You can keep going after the time limit, but you lose all your revives (and have to complete it "flawless"). You also stop getting points after the time limit (and eventually, they start to drain away, lowering your final score).

If you complete the run and get a Platinum (all champions defeated), you have about a 25% chance at a piece of Exotic armor. There are some pieces that will only drop in Legendary Lost Sectors. Each day features one section (head, arms, chest, legs, repeat).

what did they change?

[Jordan_Peterson]

ok thanks. cool!
Anyone can recomend a youtube-video or build-link that shows a low budget build for running those? I have nearly no exotics yet. But I wan to farm those Lost Sectors on Legendary. Just I dont want to die often! ;)

What class are you using?

The newer ones (on Neomuna) have fairly large spawns and some sections that you've got to commit to. They also pushed the Light Level of the mobs up relative to players. I think they used to be -10 and I was able to do them pretty well at the Powerful cap. Now they're -15 and the recommended levels are 1815 and 1830. (The Powerful cap is 1800 and the Pinnacle cap is 1810 this season (not including the Artifact bonus)).

At least that's my understanding anyway, I could be wrong.

I am main Hunter but also playing Titan. Both are 1815-ish at the moment but crappy gear.

[Nakos]

Hmm... I usually play a Hunter, but I can't say as my specs are all that great.

Assassin's Cowl and Young Ahamkara's Spine are pretty popular this season if you've got either of those.

Here's a list of some basic builds: https://www.blueberries.gg/armor/destiny-2-hunter-builds/

I think Tripmine is pretty popular this season, although you might want to use something different depending on the sector's element.

Osteo Striga or the Witherhoard can both be pretty useful to consider taking in.

[Jazzy B]

It is a bit dumb, my power level is 1797 (so -33) so I just get one shot. This was a Lost Sector I have done at Legend before. I don't think it needs a lot of tuning just have it at 1815 instead

[Nakos]

Looks like ... it's Perdition (on Europa) today.

Solar, Strand or Void for a spec.

Champions are Barrier and Overload, enemy shields are Arc and Void.

I'd probably go with Osteo Striga (Exotic SMG), Some kind of Arc Pulse Rifle (Phyllotactic Spiral, Jian 7, or Third Axiom), and Retrofit Escapade (Void Machine Gun). Or do it the other way and go in with a Void pulse and an Arc Machine Gun.

LOL I can't believe people are actually stuck on these

[The Masquerade]

theyre doable but definitely not fun. like nakos said the neomuna ones especially hydroponics is bad. if you play smart you can do them well under light. first week of lightfall i ran gilded precept on legend at 1770 and still got through it though it took me roughly 18 minutes. after that i ran skydock on master at 1780 on master in about 10ish minutes. at 1810 i can do one of the older lost sectors in roughly 5-7 minutes on my titan. with similar light level on my hunter it takes me 10+ minutes. even after the increased drop rates for exotics i havent noticed a change in drop rate for me though i havent ran a ton since it was updated.
