Perdition is a moderately difficult Lost Sector in Destiny 2. There are easier Lost Sectors to farm for exotics out there, but if you must, Perdition can be manageable with the right loadout.
While our Lost Sectors guide features every Lost Sector in the game, this mini guide covers everything you need to know to prepare, including recommended loadouts, shields, and Champions.
Perdition Location and Requirements
The Perdition Lost Sector is located in Cadmus Ridge, on Europa.

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

Requirements
Difficulty | Legend | Master |
Recommended Power | 1830 | 1840 |
Exotic armor (if solo) | 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.
Perdition guide
The first half of the Lost Sector is really straightforward. Use your Primary weapon to eliminate ads as they come.
Pro Tip: Kill the Hydra in this room, and you won’t have to fight it in the next room, which is much more difficult.
After the last enemy dies here, you’ll move to the most challenging room in Perdition. In here, you’ll fight swarms of enemies, Champions, and a couple of Wyverns.

Perdition entrance, Destiny 2
Basic enemies die quickly, but Champions and Wyverns should be disposed of with your Heavy weapon. Once the last enemy here dies, the boss will spawn. By this point, your Super ability is ready to be cast. The boss has so little health that it’ll die almost instantly to your Super.
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:
