Exotic Farming
How to Get to 300 Light Fast in Destiny 2
The fun thing about exotic weapons and armor in Destiny 2, outside of the fact that they tend to look cooler than most things in the game and have extraordinary perks, is that they don’t necessarily adhere to any caps on engram decryption. Your exotics can always drop higher than your current Power level in Destiny 2 and that makes them invaluable in boosting your Power.
Of course, exotics are especially rare compared to other drops in the game, but you can farm for them if you have the time. First, grab a Fireteam Medallion or two (you get one for beating the story and can buy more from Eververse for 50 Silver Dust a piece), then grab a Fireteam of players you trust (things go faster if you’re all on the same page). Now you have an option, either farm Vanguard Strike Playlist, Nightfall, or Heroic Public Events.
Heroic Public Events have had the quickest exotic turnaround for me thus far, but Strikes do also grant Tactician Tokens as well which can really help with increasing your Light to 300 (we’ll get to that in a second). I personally prefer running the public events when short on time. But if you have a day to kill, give Strikes some attention.
