Destiny 2 Cheat Codes and Unlocks

The second installment of Bungie’s post-Halo first-person shooter (FPS) massively multiplayer (MMO) series, Destiny 2, is set in a grim future with ruthless invaders and valiant guardians. While Destiny 2 isn’t a full MMO, it does pair you up with gamers from around the world and throw you against them, so you’ll need every advantage you can get.

We’ve gathered all the Destiny 2 cheats, codes, unlocks, exploits, and extras you’ll need to raise your power level to an unimaginable height. These cheats, unlocks, and exploits are compatible with PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC games.

Codes for Destiny 2

Codes for Destiny 2 are made available from a variety of sources, and you may input them at Bungie.net to get in-game rewards. You must go to the redemption page on Bungie.net and sign in with your Xbox network, PlayStation Network, Steam, or Battle.net account in order to input a Destiny 2 code and claim the rewards.

Destiny 2 Easy Loot Chest Exploit

In Destiny 2, playing the game is the greatest way to obtain treasure, but you may also take advantage of loot chest respawns to obtain free items with no work. While not exactly the quickest technique to increase your power, you may do this passively while playing a different game, watching Netflix, or engaging in any other activity that allows you to take breaks every few minutes.

The fact that chests respawn after being opened is the basis for how this vulnerability operates. Finding a chest in a somewhat secure location and opening it while waiting for it to respawn are the main objectives. Finding a small canyon near the landing area for the Exodus Black is a solid choice for this exploit. A teleporter and some foes can be found in the cave that is reached via the canyon.

Kill all the adversaries in the cave, then wait roughly three minutes before opening the chest. You can open the chest once more since it will reappear elsewhere in the cave. It is safe to just wait, open the chest as many times as you want, and relax because the monsters won’t respawn. You can acquire free stuff by turning in the planetary tokens you collect from repeatedly opening the chest.

    Destiny 2 Content Unlocks

    You definitely want to know how to acquire your first Sparrow because it can be really exhausting to go around on your own feet. Where are the social spaces, considering how lonely it can be out there in the wilderness? We have information for you if you’re wondering how to access this kind of material in Destiny 2.

    Content How to Unlock it

    Unlocking Speed Boosts in Destiny 2

    Since Destiny 2 is an MMO-lite, you can’t actually employ exploits like speed boosts without running the risk of being blacklisted. But, there are methods for gaining speed boosts in the social places, and obtaining them requires playing some entertaining mini-games.

    How to Unlock the Speed Boost in the Farm

    1. Get on top of the water weel and run on it until you see a message that says Sentry Ranks x2.
    2. Head across the wires to the building where Lord Saladin is. If you see a message that says Sentry Ranks x4, you’re good.
    3. Go to the bonfire and start the Scouting Patrol. This will give you a limited amount of time to run through a series of beams of light that shoot from the ground. If you fail, and you don’t die, you can just go back to the bonfire to start again.
    4. If you get to all the beams in time, you’ll receive a speed and jumping boost at the farm that resets if you leave.

    How to Unlock the Speed Boost in the Tower

    1. Head up the slanted wall to the left of the Postmaster, and look for the catwalk to your left
    2. Pick up the object that says Don’t Pick Me Up when you examine it. This will activate the Floor is Lava minigame

    4. Any ground, other than the catwalk, will kill you, so carefully make your way to the beam of light without touching the ground.
    5. If you reach the light without dying, you will unlock a speed boost. The boost will deactivate if you leave the area.

    Destiny 2 Milestone Unlocks

    Once you hit level 20 and start on the endgame, the best way to get powerful gear is to complete your weekly milestones. You’ll eventually unlock them just by playing the game, as long as you dabble a little in everything. But if you want to get started on that powerful gear as soon as possible, here’s how to unlock all of the milestones in Destiny 2.

    Milestone How to Unlock it
    Flashpoint Complete the main campaign of the base game, and return to the European Dead Zone. Completing the patrol mission there will unlock patrol missions on the other planets. Complete three patrols on any single planet and then talk to Cayde-6 at the Tower to unlock the Flashpoint Milestone. Then complete public events on the right planet to get your weekly loot.

    Leviathan Complete the main campaign and get your power level high enough to challenge the Leviathan raid.
    Clan XP Join a clan, and most activities you complete will earn clan XP. Earn 5,000 total clan XP in one week to get your weekly loot.

    How to Unlock Heroic Public Events

    Grinding public events is an easy, if potentially monotonous, way to get experience to level up or earn bright engrams. It’s also a great way to get gear, but only if you can trigger heroic events. Each event has its own specific triggering method, so make sure to read up. Trigger the heroic event, complete it, and you might get some fantastic gear.
