Legend and Master Lost Sectors are among the best additions Destiny 2 has seen in a while, especially for solo players. Their entire purpose is to challenge and reward the players who manage to complete them solo. And their rewards are good.
Legend and Master Lost Sectors are the only method to actively farm Exotic armor. And on top of that, they can also reward Exotics that cannot be found anywhere else. This guide covers all the exclusive Lost Sector Exotics as well as their rotation system to farm Exotics in general.
Destiny 2 Lost Sectors Exotic: Armor rewards
Lost Sectors are the only way to acquire the latest Exotic armor released since Beyond Light (also known as Year 4 of Destiny 2), including all the brand-new Witch Queen Exotics. Each class has 7 Exotic armor pieces that are only available in Legend and Master Lost Sectors (if completed solo):
| Armor | Class | Type | Requirements | Source | Released | Requires | Exotic Perk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Loreley Splendor Helm | Titan | Helm | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 |  The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "When you have Sun Warrior, your Sunspots heal you. When you are critically wounded, create a Sunspot at your location." |
 Hoarfrost-Z | Titan | Chest | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "When using the Stasis subclass, your Barricade becomes a wall of Stasis crystals that slows nearby targets when created. Standing behind this barricade will grant you and your allies increased weapon reload speed, stability, and range." |
 Blight Ranger | Hunter | Helm | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "Attacks you redirect with your Arc Staff deal massively increased damage and generate Orbs of Power for your allies." |
 Renewal Grasps | Hunter | Arms | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "Your Duskfield grenades have a much larger effect radius. Allies inside the Duskfield take reduced damage and targets inside the area deal reduced damage." |
 Osmiomancy Gloves | Warlock | Arms | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "Your Coldsnap grenades have an additional charge that recharges quicker on direct impact. The seeker spawned from Coldsnap grenades travels further." |
 Secant Filaments | Warlock | Legs | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | Exotic Perk: "Casting an empowering rift will grant you Devour. Damage dealt by you and your allies from within your empowering rift will disrupt combatants." |

 No Backup Plans | Titan | Arms | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 15 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "When you have full melee energy, Shotgun final blows activate your Defensive Strike and consume your melee energy. Shotgun final blows also give you melee energy." |
 Radiant Dance Machines | Hunter | Legs | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 15 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Activating your dodge ability while near targets allows you to dodge additional times for a short period." |
 The Path of Burning Steps | Titan | Legs | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 14 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Solar final blows periodically grant you an escalating bonus to weapon damage. You are harder to slow or freeze with Stasis, and when you break out, you take no damage from doing so, creating a burst of Solar energy around yourself." |
 Star-Eater Scales | Hunter | Legs | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 14 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "You gain additional Super energy from Orbs of Power you pick up. While your Super energy is full, picking up an Orb of Power overcharges your Super, causing you to gain a burst of healing when cast and a bonus to your Super damage. At maximum overcharge, you also gain an overshield." |
 Boots of the Assembler | Warlock | Legs | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 14 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Standing in a healing rift creates Noble Seekers that seek out allies that are not in a rift and heal them. Noble Seekers from Empowering rift grant both you and your ally a damage bonus. Each time a Noble Seeker finds one of your allies, the duration of your rift is briefly extended." |
 Cuirass of the Falling Star | Titan | Chest | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 13 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Greatly increases your Thundercrash impact damage. Gain an overshield that lasts longer the farther you travel before striking a target." |
 Omnioculus | Hunter | Chest | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 13 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "You gain a second Smoke Bomb charge and have damage resistance while invisible. When you make an ally invisible, they gain damage resistance while invisible and you gain melee energy." |
 Mantle of Battle Harmony | Warlock | Chest | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 13 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Takedowns with weapons that have a damage type matching your subclass element grant you Super energy. While your Super energy is full, you instead gain a temporary bonus to weapon damage of the type matching your subclass element." |
 Precious Scars | Titan | Helm | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Final blows from weapons with a damage type matching your subclass energy create a burst of healing around you. After reviving or being revived, you gain an aura that provides overshields to you and nearby allies." |
 Icefall Mantle | Titan | Arms | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Replaces your Barricade ability with a personal overshield. When you activate your Barricade, you create a burst around yourself that slows combatants. While you have the overshield, you are slowed and Barricade does not recharge." |
 Mask of Bakris | Hunter | Helm | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Replaces your Stasis subclass Dodge ability with a longer range, faster-moving Shift that partially cloaks you during use. After Shifting, your Arc weapons deal increased damage to combatants for a short time, and you deal increased damage to all slowed or frozen combatants." |
 Dawn Chorus | Warlock | Helm | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Your Daybreak projectiles cause targets to burn on contact and deal more damage to them. All of your burn effects last longer, and you gain a small amount of melee energy each time one of your burns damage a target." |
 Athrys's Embrace | Hunter | Arms | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Weighted Knife gains a second bounce. Rapid precision hits with your weapons grant Weighted Knife a significant damage bonus and the ability to stun unshielded combatants for a short time." |
 Necrotic Grip | Warlock | Arms | Beyond Light | Lost Sectors | Season 12 | Beyond Light | Exotic Perk: "Damaging combatants envenoms them with poison that deals increasing damage over time. Defeating a poisoned combatant spreads the condition to nearby targets." |
On top of providing access to exclusive Exotic armor pieces that cannot be found anywhere else, Legend and Master Lost Sectors allow you to farm virtually any Exotic you want. If you’re looking for a specific Exotic for either Titan, Warlock, or Hunter, farming Lost Sectors is the best you can do.
Destiny 2 Exotic armor farming
Before these were introduced, it was nearly impossible to farm Exotic armor in Destiny 2. With so many Exotic weapons and armor pieces available, the RNG to find the armor you wanted was too severe.
Legend and Master Lost Sectors finally changed that, as they limit the possible rewards to only one armor slot per day: Helm, arms, chest, legs, and class item.
Lost Sectors Rotation
With the release of The Witch Queen expansion, there are no longer 2 different Lost Sectors on rotation. Nowadays, there is only one Lost Sector on a daily rotation (resets at 9 AM Pacific), which offers both Legend and Master versions to farm.
This is the Season 16 calendar covering all daily Lost Sectors and their rewards (known so far):

Level Requirements
Finally, if you’re interested in farming Legend and Master Lost Sectors, you need to have a proper Power Level (including your Artifact’s bonus Power):
| Difficulty | Legend | Master |
| Recommended Power Level | 1550 | 1580 |
| Exotic Drop Chance | Rare | Common |
Needless to say, these aren’t easy and the least you should do is ensure you have a reasonable Power Level. By reasonable, we mean no less than 10 Power Levels below the recommended levels. If you find yourself struggling, work on increasing your Power Level as much as possible and focus on Legend Lost Sectors.
Other than that, it’s all a matter of trial and error until you have an optimized build. But if that sounds too intimidating, you should definitely start by watching the video guides linked above.
