Perdition Lost Sector Destiny 2: Loadouts & Guide

by | Jan 15, 2024

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, the Bay of Drowned Wishes can be farmed 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 for the Perdition Lost Sector, including recommended loadouts, Threats, and Champions.

Perdition D2 Recommended loadout

Rank: ⚠️ B Tier: Average Lost Sector to farm

Perdition has Overload and Barrier Champions; therefore, we recommend a Solar or Stasis loadout:

  • Arbalest or Forerunner (with the anti-barrier Sidearm mod) to handle Barrier Champions and the Hydra.
  • Solar Auto or Pulse Rifle with anti-overload mods. Some options include Ammit AR2 or Adhortative.
  • Apex Predator to take advantage of the Solar Surge.
  • A Solar or Stasis Build.

Subclasses and Exotics

Perdition is quite a dangerous Lost Sector due to the Wyverns and awkward room layouts, but a good Solar or Stasis build will get the job done. On Hunter, you can either run Celestial Nighthawk with Ember of Empyrean and a Healing Grenade for survivability or opt for our Touch of Duskfield build with Renewal Grasps.

Warlocks should go for our Sun Wizard build, as Sunbracers is simply very powerful, and Well of Radiance is incredible for survivability. Stasis can work if you run Osmiomancy Gloves and Bleak Watcher, but Solar will serve you better.

Titans should opt for our Undying Flame build with Synthoceps. Pyrogale Gauntlets can also work if you would like a high-damage super. We tend to avoid Stasis as Behemoth is weak and isn’t worth running.

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 Destiny 2 Legend guide

Upon loading in, there will be a few shielded Harpies and a Hydra. While there are several Arc Shields, Match Game is no longer present, meaning you can quickly kill these enemies. The Hydra will teleport to the back of the room once you begin damaging it after a short period. If you do not destroy it, snipe it with Arbalest or Forerunner to either kill it or make it teleport to the next room.

Perdition Lost Sector 1

Staying on the high ground you spawn on is helpful for these first few enemies as it provides some cover, but you can jump down if you feel confident. Ensure all enemies are dead before you progress through the room, as more enemies will spawn once you go further.

Once the second wave of enemies is defeated, pushing up to the small stairs will spawn the final group, containing a few more Harpies, a couple of Hobgoblins, and an Overload Champion. The Champion should push very aggressively, so bait it to some cover, stun and nuke them with a Rocket or two, and then clear the remaining enemies.

Once all enemies are defeated, you can push up the bigger staircase. Use the cover at the top of the stairs to kill some Goblins, and then prepare for the Overload Minotaur to push you. Once you see the Champion round the corner, stun it and quickly kill it with your Special Weapon or Rockets. Killing as many minor enemies before the Overload Champion rushes you will make killing the Champion much easier.

Perdition Lost Sector 2

If you didn’t manage to kill the Hydra in the previous room, it will be on the stairs near the back of the room. Use cover, and kill it with some Arbalest or Forerunner shots. Once it dies, push up to force the next wave of enemies, then immediately fall back to the stairs, as this will trigger two Wyverns, two Barrier Champions, and some minor enemies. Don’t be afraid to use Rockets on the Wyverns because they are pretty scary and can one-shot you if you’re careless. Once they are down, kill the minor enemies and then take down the Barrier Champions with your Special Weapon.

Perdition Lost Sector 3

The final area is straightforward as the boss is pretty squishy; simply use your Super and any remaining heavy ammo on the boss, and he should die. Once dead, you can kill the surrounding enemies if they haven’t died already or collect your loot from the chest in the back of the room.

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 Sector to farm.
