Do Killing Champions Matter in Lost Sectors?
In Destiny 2’s Lost Sectors, there is a question that plagues many players: do killing champions matter in Lost Sectors? To answer this question, let’s dive into what makes a Lost Sector truly special.
What is a Lost Sector?
Before we get into whether killing champions matters, it’s essential to understand what a Lost Sector is. Lost Sectors are new types of activities introduced to Destiny 2, with challenging combat and unique reward structures. These sectors take the place of the Strikes from the previous game. The goal is to cleanse a sector of the various alien forces, and eliminate the final boss, referred to as the Lost Sector Champion.
Do Killing Champions Matter in Lost Sectors?
In simple terms, killing the Lost Sector Champion doesn’t guarantee an exotic or higher chance of getting the same reward. Each Lost Sector has a static set of rewards, unrelated to the champion’s elimination. However, there’s a twist: certain rewards can be exclusively dropped from specific Lost Sectors.
A Reward for Each Sector, A Reward for Each Activity
- Exotic weapons and armor: Every Lost Sector has a random set of rewards, each tied to the sector.
- Triumph completion: Defeating the Lost Sector Champion completes the Triumph ‘Clean Sweep’ for your sector.
Why should you kill the Champion then?
While killing champions may not directly impact reward chances, it’s an important aspect of the Destiny 2 experience. Some rewards, like Eclipsed Zones and Champions, require the eradication of champions to open.
The Champion Factor
The champion’s importance extends beyond reward drops:
- Challenging fights: Champions usually come with a higher HP and stronger abilities, increasing the challenge level.
- Prestige: Eliminating champions for the first time can increase the reputation of your Tower.
Champion-Farmed Exotics
Even though champions don’t have a direct impact on exclusive reward drops, a player’s Power level greatly influences their chances of earning better loot. At Master or Legendary levels, you’re more likely to earn higher-tier drops. The Champion’s toughness increases at higher difficulties as well, making them harder to defeat.
Unlocking Rewards and Triumphs
In the Master and Legendary Lost Sectors, rewards and Triumph completion rates are increased. At Master difficulty, the challenge becomes even more demanding:
- Master difficulty recommendation: Power level 1,320 (1320 PL) or higher recommended.
The Verdict: Killing Champions Matter?
To answer the main question, killing champions matter in Lost Sectors as a part of completing Triumphs and increasing reward rates, even if rewards are static and not entirely dependent on champion elimination.
In summary, killing the Lost Sector Champion is an important aspect of increasing reputation, prestige, and overall gameplay experience within the Lost Sectors and the game as a whole.
