Recommended loadout

Loadout recommendations are more versatile than ever. There are now more methods to handle Champions. Match game is gone. There are now two active Surges at any given time.

When it comes to loadouts, we offer two alternatives. One loadout for when Void is the weekly Surge, and another one for when Solar is the active Surge. To find out which is the active Surge of the week, you simply need to open the activity screen.

• Gjallarhorn or Xenophage
• A Solar 3.0 Build

• Void Pulse rifle or Sidearm (i.e. Gridskipper or Fioritura-59)
• Regnant with Explosive Light or Deathbringer
• A Void 3.0 Build

When the Void Surge is active, you should use a Void Heavy weapon for both Boss and Champion DPS.

Requirements

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.

Lost Sector Rewards

As a reminder, completing Legend or Master Lost Sectors solo is the only way to acquire several specific Exotic armor pieces. While our Lost Sector Exotics guide covers them all, including their rotation for the remainder of the season, these are all Lost Sector Exotics available today:
