Perdition Lost Sector Destiny 2: Location & Loadouts

by | Mar 27, 2023

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.

Master x2 Overload Minotaur x4 Barrier Hobgoblin

Perdition Modifiers: Legend & Master

Legend Modifiers:

  • Arc Threat: +50% Arc damage received.
  • Equipment Locked: You will not be able to change your equipment after this activity starts.
  • Limited Revives: Limited Fireteam revives. Gain additional revives by defeating Champions.
  • Shield Foes: You will face combatants with Solar and Void shields.

Master Modifiers:

  • Famine: All ammunition drops are significantly reduced.

Difficulty: Perdition is an average Lost Sector to farm this Season.

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.

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 Lost Sector

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:

Perdition Summary

Featuring an Arc Threat modifier, the Perdition Lost Sector features several Arc-shielded enemies and Overload and Barrier Champions. Due to its length to complete and difficulty, this is an average Lost Sectors to farm.

If this guide had too much information, those are the main highlights you need to remember. Hopefully, you now have everything you need to know how to best clear this Lost Sector to farm exactly the type of Exotic armor you need.
