Lost Sector Difficulty Level
I've been playing this game since D1 and it's been my favorite since but I'm getting sick of this insane difficulty level!! I'm a Father with a family and a full time job, I play this game casually because that's all I have time for. Yall have made this game entirely to difficult, my light level for instance is 1819 and I've spent over an hour and a half trying to complete and lost sector on all classes with zero success. If yall are trying to make me quit playing and go back to something that doesn't absolutely piss me off, you're doing a good job. I also know I'm not the only one upset about this, it's all over the internet and here we are almost to season 21 and nothing has changed. It's time to start listening to your customer base and stop catering to the few that play this game for a living. Some of us have to actually work and look forward to playing this game during our downtime thats few and far between. Hopefully someone reads this that gives a crap.

1 ReplySolar or void warlock are great for survival plus you also get the bonus damage for the surge depending on the lost sector. Stasis turrets are great for locking down ads and dealing with champions. Beyond that just take your time, stay behind cover and use ranged weapons. Once you’re more comfortable you can work on speed to farm faster.

3 RepliesUnfortunately you need to do research to play now. Until I looked at videos about strand builds I had zero success with lost sectors. Now I set up my Hunter for max resilience - 135% I think - and mods for grenades. I can get three manacle grenades in a row that way if I'm doing damage. I hit the champion with Le Monarch two or three times, suspend it and keep using the bow until it drops. Suspend it again and more bow. Third time I switch to my machine gun. As long as I've cleared the ads first it works reliably to kill them. I did my first one at 1817, barely, and now it's a bit easier at 1823. That said, I'm playing a lot less now. Too much like work and not much fun.

Depends what it is. Neomuna ones are ridiculous at some sections cause of A) designs where there is enemies and only small areas with nowhere to hide. B) Bosses that literally oneshot you. Just wait for Dreaming City Lost Sectors. They are big and spacey, allowing you to sit far away, to the point the enemies don't shoot back, and scout rifle (unstop) or overload bow everything. I found doing the Dreaming City Lost Sector without dying once, easy af with Trustee and a bow and machine gun. 90% of it I just stayed back so far and shot with Trustee slowly chipping away at everything. P.S. 1815 and below is the line in which everything becomes way harder.

1 Replyforced -20 under is horrible in master anything. i never do them. legend is the same as the legendary campaign, never do anything harder than that, afterall legend lost sector grants no difference, just dropped me 3-4 abeyant leap in a row with 1:48 clear times

I agree. There is a fine line between challenging and frustrating. I too have been playing since D1 and the difficulty is frustrating to the point I'm not even doing all the grinding for levels. Looking forward to other game drops this month and I'll probably shelve this until next season. Bungie, if you're listening, nerf your game difficulty instead of weapons for the next few months.

1 ReplyAll three characters rocking double primary, that's one big issue as others have stated. Gotta change up some things to find success dude.

1 ReplyIf you think current Lost Sectors are too difficult for an endgame activity, then I don't believe you played D1 or at the very least played D1's endgame activities. No way do I believe that you were use to how challenging this game was in D1 & D2 Forsaken and you spent 1.5 hours in a Lost Sector without getting a single clear. NO. WAY. Even if it was a Master Lost Sector @ 1819 -there's no reason if you cleared a D1 Lvl 29 Vault of Glass that you had this much of an issue with content that is so easy. No way.

1 Replypeople should be able to double primary and clear content. arbitrary difficultly just ruins the game and forces you to play how others want to play

Level up to 1830. Lost sector has no negative cap. You even can overlevel by +20. A bit of time sink. I normally do LS few weeks before next season. This season however pinnacle levelling is more forgiving and only do gunsmith, vanguard and Nimbus bounties, about half an hour per character. I had done the helmets yesterday which is quite easy. And today is titan boots at E15, also easy LS. 1819 handicaps you if you don't have proper build. One advise. Use void, devour and volatile flow and weapons with repulser.

1 ReplyThey just lowered the difficulty of all lost sectors ... it's pretty easy on most of them now ...

Watch Dattos recent video analising a lost sector. Very usefull tips even for seasoned veterans.

Some of the replies here are a little over the top. Rather than say “skill issue, or get gud etc”. I’d like to offer a few pointers to make master lost sectors a lot simpler. 1. The strand class is absurd against champions. I really like running 6th coyote hunter with double shackle grenades. You can keep a group of adds and champions permanently suspended with this if you equip the right fragments and have decent rollled armor, doesn’t even have to be good, just decent. 2. Blinding gls are your friend. I will often blind a group of adds then move in and strand dive for the suspend for a safe easy shutdown. 3. Slow play it when necessary. Bows are my go to primary here. Especially le monarch. But I like all exotic bows depending on burn/champion layouts. You’ll figure it out. If you’re having an issue with master sectors it’s not a skill issue. It’s a build issue. Just gotta figure out the right tools for the task. Personally I think Bungie has the difficulty of lost sectors in a very good spot right now. They can be sometimes challenging yes. But they’re intended to be so.

Edited by InsipidPanda: 4/11/2023 6:47:21 PMGotta say lookin' at your stuff I don't think it's the activities, I just think it's your build. A good build can go a long way in making the game go from impossible to easy mode. And we'll I'm not going to go on a long stretch talking about build specifics and what to do. I will, however, leave you with this. Don't use double primaries. Edit: grammar.

[quote]I'm a Father with a family and a full time job, I play this game casually because that's all I have time for.[/quote] I play this game *way too much* (like I’m legit disgusted with myself sometimes, lol) and I’m at season rank 139. You’re at 198. But yes, please do go on about how you’re super casual and barely have time because of your big important job and a family. I’m sure no one who completes lost sectors has offspring and is gainfully employed. 😂

7 RepliesI rememeber D1 where all exotics were attainable, with maybe the exception of vex myth, which never dropped for me, or a titan helm to take me to 30. It takes 10 runs average, from other players on reddit to get an exotic drop for a legendary lost sector. Thats way over my play time for the day, my power level, as this expansion has just not been fun to play, and unrewarding to get new gear. Random drop, random gear with random rolls with no dup protection or pity, just doesn't respect players time. shaping and reshaping weapons was a good step in the ight direction, but this expansion, its all been forgoten about and red border drops (yet another random drop on top of all the other rng) seems to be more rare that a non-toxic hardcore player. The whole gate keeping half the exotic pool behind the system, where most of the players are going to find unfun, just blows my mind. Stretching out content in this manor just makes players leave the game. Your shoving them out the door. As soon as Diviri drops in warframe, I'm done with Bungo products.

you don't need double primaires to deal with champs. all classes have builds that can spam suspend to stun champs. the hunter one is as simple as the suspend grenade (you get two) and sixth coyote to have two suspend dive abilities. hope this helps.

You appear to have a good selection of exotics and seasonal weapons unlocked. You should have no problem looking up and using a strong build for any of your classes. You don't have to have everything exactly how they show it as long as you get close. (For example maybe your LMG doesnt have that exact roll mentiomed but if its a decent LMG of the reccomnded damage type you will be fine) Try setting one up and watching how they play with it and explain it. There is usually a gameplay loop that you can follow that keeps your abilities up, gets you supers quick, and allows you do clear rooms of enemies near instantly even on master. If you want to do it you can. You just need to look into the best ways to accomplish it.

Strand warlock is the go too for lost sectors fore especially if I'm struggling with my titan

7 RepliesEdited by draycole: 4/11/2023 9:30:32 AMI know Datto is literally worse than a certain German man from WW2 around here. But this is a decent "coaching" video. You're already at 1819 light level. The rest is just tackling the encounter correctly https://youtu.be/h_xxcJesQu4

Edited by Lemon: 4/11/2023 3:20:16 PMI get what you are saying, but it seems like and it's according to your game history, you died on average 6 times in your perdition runs, where Legend/Master LS's are better rewarded if you flawless (that's just my guess), also optimize your loadout along with awareness of enemy in front of you, I don't mean to demean you but it could possibly is some issues with skills that you might have to master, LS's are just fine as it goes, any less difficulty could make it even more of a slog since it can affect the drop rates as well at least until next season.

12 RepliesWhen will people learn double primaries is a terrible way to play. If yah like it go for it, but don't complain when the champion doesn't die because you're plinking it with a -blam!- scout rifle

1 ReplyEdited by RopeAdope: 4/11/2023 2:40:09 PMBruh..:the game is what it is. You don’t like something, don’t do it. If you’re a completionist (as I USED to be) don’t blame Bungie. That -blam!- ain’t sposed to be fun to begin with…only eat time to pad Bungo stats to investors. Gone are the days of “must have”. Everything is so -blam!-, it literally doesn’t matter. "Evenly distributed" or "equal" would be synonyms for H*m*genous ffs, this is how you know its ooc...the "h" prefix to "sapien" is censored.
