What are some tips and tricks for the daily Legend/Master Lost sector?

Legend Lost Sectors are designed to be tough, so it’s worth having a good idea of what to expect and how to prepare before you head in. Here, we’ll cover some general bits of advice, as well as a couple of tips specific to this Destiny 2 Legend Lost Sector.

General Legend/Master Lost Sector advice – Our top three tips

• If you’re farming, go for Legend runs. Legend Lost sectors are a great way to get exotics, but there’s a big step up in difficulty between the Legend and Master versions. In Legend, you’ve got a 25% chance for an exotic to drop at the end of the run, versus only a 30% drop on Master. In the interest of efficiency, we’d strongly recommend sticking to Legend – Master just isn’t worth it.
• Destiny 2 Champions. Every Legend Lost sector has Champions within, enemies you’ll only otherwise tend to encounter in high-level raids, dungeons, or the weekly Nightfall strike. Make sure to equip the right mods and weapons, or make use of stunning effects like Ignite, Freeze and Suspend via your chosen class and subclass. We’d recommend prioritising these enemies for a quick removal where possible.

Our two best tips for today’s Legend Lost sector (Jan 16 2024)

Now for the Lost Sector in particular, here are two quick bits of advice we’d recommend you keep in mind when running it.

Tight corridors. This is a fairly cramped space for a Lost Sector, with plenty of narrow hallways and chokepoints. Be sure to take time to check and clear out flanks so that enemies can’t outmanoeuvre you.

Vex milk. Being inside vex architecture, there’s plenty of Radiolaria everywhere, lovingly called ‘Vex milk’ by the community’s brightest boffins. Be sure to avoid stepping in it, as it deals damage on contact.

Destiny 2 Legend Lost Sector rewards – Is it worth soloing a Legend/Master Lost Sector?

While they can be a good source of fun, most of us are really here for the excellent rewards you can pick up from running this quick, efficient activity.

Before we dive in – one important thing you should keep in mind: rewards are far more generous if you run a Legend Lost sector solo – meaning without a fireteam. You don’t need to go flawless unless you’re hunting for triumphs, but if you want to get your hands on some exotic gear, you need to take on this challenge by yourself.

Anyway here’s a list of potential loot you can pick up in Legend and Master Lost Sector completions.

1. Glimmer – it goes without saying there’s plenty of the blue stuff around.
2. Legendary armor and weapons – this can include some solid stat and perk rolls, or it can be junk. It’s very much luck-of-the-draw.
3. Enhancement Cores – if you’re trying to farm these, only platinum rewards from Season of the Wish Coil runs really surpass Legend Lost Sectors in effectiveness.
4. Enhancement Prisms – Very useful for masterworking your favourite gear.
5. Ascendant Shards – These are quite rare, but not unobtainable.
6. Exotic armor. What type will rotate between exotic legs, exotic arms, exotic chest pieces, and exotic helmets each day throughout the week. The specific piece is random, but the loot pools include some of the best Warlock exotics, best Titan exotics, and best Hunter exotics.
7. XP – useful for progressing in the Season Pass.

Destiny 2 Legend Lost Sector FAQ

How many times can you do a Legend Lost Sector?

There’s no limit on how often you can do a Legend Lost Sector. You can do it for 24 hours straight until it ends rotation, if you want.

Are Master Lost Sectors worth it?

We would argue that no, Master Lost sectors are not worth the effort unless you’re after triumph scores. They’re much harder and more tedious to clear than Legend versions, and provide only marginally better rewards.
