With the release ofDestiny 2’s Forsaken expansion has come a lot of new currencies, collectibles, andquests for players to keep track of. One that is crucial for the endgame and leveling is the Dark Fragment.
For those that have yet to get to the Dreaming City inDestiny 2, this won’t make a lot of sense, but know that Dark Fragments are important. This currency is used to purchase items and bounties from Petra Venj, some of which will offer powerful gear on a weekly rotation.
Obtaining Dark Fragments in theDreaming Cityis a slow process but there are several sources for them. Any activity that involves a chest or an end reward will give out at least one Dark Fragment, while some will give out two. That includes:
SinceDestiny 2: Forsakenis new, the Dark Fragment grind is going to be slow but players will want to get at least 40 to purchase Petra’s bounty that rewards powerful gear. There are a lot more ways to increase one’s power level past 500 inDestiny 2thanks to the Challenge and bounty systems, but it is also a slow process. Any opportunity is going to be welcome.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Last Wish raid forDestiny 2has yet to go live – it will open its doors on Friday, September 14th – so there may be even more ways to earn Dark Fragments. It’s possible that each encounter completion will unlock the currency, similar to how any other chest offers Dark Fragments.
That being said, we don’t know how theLast Wish raidwill work or if it will carry its own currency. It may even feature a unique vendor like Benedict was for the Leviathan raid and raid lairs. For now, the above listed activities are the best for acquiring Dark Fragments.
Destiny 2: Forsakenis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
