Why Isn’t My Legend Lost Sector Showing Up in Destiny 2?
The frustration of not seeing a Legend Lost Sector on your Destiny 2 map is a common experience, especially for newer players or those returning to the game. The primary reason you’re likely encountering this issue is simple: you haven’t met the power level requirement or you haven’t yet unlocked the normal version of that lost sector. As of the Lightfall expansion (Season 20), you need to be at a base power level of 1750 (without any artifact bonus) to even see the Legend Lost Sector flag appear. It’s crucial to understand that the Legend difficulty is scaled to 1830, meaning that even at 1750 you’ll be significantly under-leveled, making the content exceptionally challenging. Ideally, you want to be closer to 1815 or higher for a more manageable experience. Another key thing that is often overlooked is that you also need to clear the normal version of that lost sector first before the Legend version will become available.
However, there are several other potential reasons why a Legend Lost Sector might be invisible to you, so let’s delve into these further. It’s important to understand that Destiny 2’s end-game content is designed to be challenging and rewarding, and that these limitations serve to filter out players who may not have the proper experience or gear to tackle this particular content.
Key Reasons Legend Lost Sectors May Not Appear
Insufficient Power Level
As mentioned, the foremost requirement is reaching a base power level of 1750. Your current power level might appear higher due to your artifact, but this bonus doesn’t count towards the Lost Sector visibility requirement. Make sure to check your power level without the artifact bonus to ensure you meet this threshold.
Not Having Completed the Normal Version
A common mistake is that a player hasn’t even completed the normal version of the Lost Sector that is currently the Legend Lost Sector. You must clear the normal version of a lost sector before the Legend/Master versions will appear as available.
Lost Sector Rotation
Lost Sectors rotate daily with the Destiny 2 reset, and therefore the Legend and Master Lost Sector locations change every 24 hours. This means that the Lost Sector you might have been doing yesterday could be a different one today. Be sure to check the current daily Lost Sector to see which one is currently the Legend or Master difficulty by checking a site like www.todayindestiny.com.
Visual Glitches and Bugs
Although rare, sometimes visual bugs can prevent the Lost Sector flag from appearing. If you’ve met all the above requirements, try restarting your game or even your console or PC to clear any temporary glitches.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Legend Lost Sectors
Here are some additional common questions and answers that will further aid your understanding of Legend Lost Sectors:
1. How do I know which Lost Sector is Legend or Master today?
You can identify the active Legend or Master Lost Sector by looking at your map. The daily featured Lost Sector will have a unique, purple icon rather than the usual white icon. Also, a good resource is www.todayindestiny.com
2. How often does the Legend Lost Sector reset?
The Legend Lost Sector changes every 24 hours at the Destiny 2 daily reset. This daily rotation keeps the content fresh and encourages players to explore different locations.
3. Can I farm Legend Lost Sectors?
Yes, absolutely! You can farm Legend Lost Sectors multiple times to increase your chances of obtaining the desired rewards, including exotic armor.
4. Can I get multiple exotics from Legend Lost Sectors in a day?
Yes, you can get as many exotics as you like from Legend Lost Sectors per day. There is no daily cap on drops.
5. Do Legend Lost Sectors always drop exotics?
No. The exotic drop rate in Legend Lost Sectors is approximately 25% if you kill all of the Champions. You must eliminate all champions to have the best chance. The Master difficulty has a slightly higher drop rate, which is approximately 33%.
6. What is the drop rate for Legend vs. Master Lost Sectors?
Based on community testing, the exotic drop rate for Legend Lost Sectors is around 27%, while for Master Lost Sectors, it’s approximately 35%. This difference is not huge and some players prefer the Legend runs due to the fact that they are faster, and therefore more runs can be accomplished in the same amount of time.
7. How do I get a guaranteed exotic from a Lost Sector?
You get a guaranteed exotic for every Solo Platinum Flawless Master Lost Sector completion if the chest is opened before the darkness encroaches. Meaning, you must kill all Champions, and not die, in one run, before the timer runs out.
8. Why am I not getting exotics in Legend Lost Sectors?
If you are not getting exotics and have been farming a specific Lost Sector, try doing a Solo Master completion and it may go back to normal. You also may just have bad luck, as the drop is not a guarantee, but is a percentage.
9. What is the easiest Master Lost Sector to solo?
Many players find Perdition on Europa to be the easiest Master Lost Sector due to its shorter length. This doesn’t always mean it is the easiest for all players, but it is often referenced as the easiest.
10. Do Legend Lost Sectors give random exotics?
Yes, Lost Sectors drop any exotic, although the game prioritizes dropping exotics that you don’t already own and any specific exotic for that sector that you may not own. This allows you to slowly unlock all exotics.
11. Can you do Legend Lost Sectors solo?
Yes, Legend Lost Sectors are designed to be tackled solo. This is necessary to have the best chance at exotic drops.
12. Can you do Legend Lost Sectors with a team?
You can do Legend Lost Sectors with a team, but be aware that you will NOT receive Exotic drops. Instead, you’ll get Enhancement Cores. Thus, farming them solo is generally best if you’re looking for exotic gear.
13. Is it worth it to run Master Lost Sectors?
For most players, Legend Lost Sectors are more efficient for farming. Although Master Lost Sectors have a slightly higher drop rate, the extra difficulty and time required often make Legend runs the better option.
14. Do Master Lost Sectors drop higher stat armor?
While Master Lost Sectors often drop armor with 60+ stat totals, the focus should be on the exotic drops and less on the overall stats for the armor.
15. What is the best Lost Sector to farm exotics?
Many players recommend Bunker E15 on Europa as it is fairly easy to complete and often considered a great Lost Sector for farming Exotic Armor pieces and enhancement cores. Other Lost Sectors are on rotation daily, and the current day’s lost sector is often what people farm.
By understanding these requirements and tips, you’ll be well-equipped to dive into the challenging and rewarding world of Legend Lost Sectors in Destiny 2. Remember to always stay informed about the daily rotations, and don’t be discouraged by early difficulties. Practice and persistence are key to mastering this content!
