Destiny has a cave-shaped loot exploit

4.5
Remember how Bungie wanted each piece of loot in Destiny to have a "badass story" attached to it so badly that it scrapped player-to-player trades? A new exploit documented by Force Strategy Gaming (video posted below the break) flies in the face of such hopes, as the trick lets Guardians mow down continuously-spawning waves of enemies to amass a pile of loot for everyone in the vicinity.

The exploit involves a cave found on Old Russia, which Acolytes and Thralls spawn and rush forward from in waves. In order for the trick to work, players need to stand back far enough to allow spawns to keep happening, while ensuring that a lone enemy doesn't escape and go hide behind cover, therefore hindering future spawns.

For a sense of what to expect, Force Strategy Gaming claims that 15 minutes worth of shooting rewarded them with stacks of green Engrams, as well as a few blue and legendary-tier pieces. The same area occasionally plays host to a public event however, so bringing backup would be wise.

Seffean If people put as much time into farming into earning reputation/marks then they would all have lengendarys lol..


Not really, if your cryptarch is at least level 5 or so, you can get a full inventory of legendaries in maybe 1-2 hours. You need to level up your crucible handlers/guilds to buy legendaries, and you can only get 100 marks a week for crucible and vanguard. So you can only buy so much per week.


Utter rubbish ...A full inventory of legendaries ?? Not likely you get 1-3 per 2 hours at best.


Within 5 hours of farming, not only did I get about 100+ Blues, I got about 20 Legendaries.

Why do people got to make a big deal about these things. The founder should have just ignored it or kept it to himself.

I know right. People dedicate their times to exploiting when they could just level up in the same amount of time.

Very effective way of getting Legendaries, wouldn't consider it an exploit though.
