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.

The Void loadout we recommend is the following:

  • 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

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.

The Quarry Lost Sector guide

The most challenging areas in The Quarry are in the middle of the Lost Sector and in the final room. Both areas are difficult because you’re surrounded by enemies with minimal cover. Plus, the Cabal enemies have grenades and AoE attacks that can reach you at all times.

In the middle section, your first priority is killing the trash enemies before the Champions. The fastest way to dispose of them them is with your abilities for survivability.

Void Warlock Destiny 2 featured

If you’re using a Void 3.0 build, you’ll get healing. With a Solar 3.0 build, you’ll have increased recovery. Once you’ve killed most of the trash enemies, the Champion is easy to take down.

In the final room, you’ll want to hug the left side of the room. This breaks the line of sight the enemies on the cliff above have on you. If they can’t see you, they’re going to attack you a lot less. From here, take out each enemy one by one until all that’s left is the final boss.

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:

The Quarry Summary

Featuring a Void burn modifier, The Quarry Lost Sector features Solar-shielded enemies, as well as Unstoppable and Barrier Champions. Due to its length to complete and difficulty, this is one of the absolute best 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.
