Destiny 2’s community events are exciting times where all of the game’s players come together to cooperate and achieve common goals. The latest community event, dubbed “A Rising Tide,” went live on November 22 and challenges Guardians to donate a total of 400,000,000 in-game currencies to help improve the Eliksni Quarter, a section of the Last City where the allied Fallen of House Light have taken refuge. In addition to improving House Light’s quality of life, contributing towards the event also gives players access to some valuable rewards, including upgrade materials, Upgrade Modules, and a unique Ghost Shell cosmetic.
Based on the massive final goal and the grindy nature of the event, it’s clear that developer Bungie expected that this event would takeat leasta week or two forDestiny 2fans to finish. However, players have managed to blitz through it in a single day thanks to an incredibly powerful glitch that allows you to obtain an infinite amount of Treasure Coordinates, one of the currencies you can use to donate.
The exploit is incredibly simple to perform, and all it requires is Season of Plunder’s Captain’s Atlas item and the “Under One Banner” and “Rumored Treasure Map” Skeleton Key upgrades, available from the Star Chart in the H.E.L.M. hub space. First, slot any available treasure map except for the Rumored Treasure Map into your Captain’s Atlas. Then, slot in the Rumored Treasure Map. This is where the glitch takes effect, as you’ll be refunded more Treasure Coordinates than you originally spent on the first map you slotted. By rapidly repeating this process over and over, you can gain an infinite number of Treasure Coordinates without ever having to grind activities.
Note that you need to make sure you’ve got a regular treasure map in your Captain’s Atlas when you donate a full stack of Treasure Coordinates. This will allow you to continue generating more of the currency with the glitch after you deposit it. If you accidentally turn in all of your Treasure Coordinates while the Rumored Treasure Map is active, you’ll need to grind a few activities until you have enough to buy a standard treasure map again.
Even though the event has been completed, players can continue contributing to the donation chest at The Tower. Therefore, you should take advantage of this glitch while you can in order to snag all the event’s rewards, as there’s a chance Bungie might patch it soon. After all, having some spare upgrade materials on hand when theDestiny 2: Lightfall DLCreleases will be helpful.
Destiny 2: Lightfall
The upcoming Lightfall expansion takes players to the neon-soaked city of Neomuna on Neptune and pits them against the fearsome Shadow Legion — all while the threat of Darkness pyramids, The Witness, and his new disciple Emperor Calus looms overhead.
