Are casual players just locked out of lost sectors now?
I'm 1812 on my warlock and tried to give the lost sector of the day a go to try and get necrotic grips and proceeded to get 3 shot with 90 resil by the overly tanky barrier champ after getting through the first 2 champions and kept getting destoryed by the barrier champ till I gave up. Why are lost sectors 1830 now, theres no way casual players can get that high or anywhere near it to stand a chance, even running broken builds they seem next to impossible to do to grind for exotics, let alone get solo flawless for rank 7. Bungie drop the legend difficulty down to 1810 or 1820 so they aren't the crazy difficulty they are now.

Why yes.....yes they are

i don't know about that, i'm a casual and got through the legend lost sector solo - i say appropriately. it wasn't free but it wasn't dark souls either. feel like it's challenging and yeah.

You are correct! 1812 and put 4 Gjallahorns into a stunned Unstoppable and he didn’t die. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.

4 RepliesNo they’re fine - my son (who is 8) beats them -30-35 under . Takes a few deaths the edz ones especially are very very manageable
-
Hope they make them easier soon … 1800 would be fine

People who complain the game is hard are : Using 2 primary weapon / dont super / dont use heavy ammo / dont mod armor / dont use exotic .....

Yep it’s not easy ! I went in last week and got destroyed the first couple of times , changed load outs ….Ticuu's Divination is awesome against overloads ! Ended up completing 5 lost sectors with one flawless. Got the tele catalyst and exotic legs . I just refuse to beaten by a game !

1 ReplyI feel the same way, so don't feel like you're alone here. I wasn't able to do any of the lost sectors before Lightfall, and I definitely can't do them now. Haven't got one exotic post New Light with exception of the quest and freebie exotics. All of the 'good' builds require the new exotics and I simply can't do the content. Skill issue? Probably. I didn't choose to have bad eyes and slow reflexes. I used to be able to build around that, but Lightfall took that away as well. If you don't already have the good exotics, you probably won't be able to get them until something changes.

While I do agree that Legend light level is stupidly high for no reason. It's time you learn to play your life and adapt to the more "difficult" content. Think of them more like endurance runs rather than sprints, take your time until you get more comfortable. I'd be surprised if Bungie makes any changes to the system anytime soon...probably gonna say they are "gathering data" about it...for like 6 months.

2 RepliesWhy are you locked out? We did legend week 1 of the expansion with like 0 issues.

Just don't play it like a vanguard strike. Don't click your primary chicken nugget firing gun 10 million times... Clear adds, use cover, use double special for near infinite heavy bricks, or use arbelest and scout. USE YOUR HEAVY WEAPON to clear threats and not just save it for the boss, use abilities, build properly around fragments and mods, Etc etc etc Strand is insane. They really are not that tough, have patience, take your time...

I've been running them on master ever since I hit 1800, what are you running? I find more often than not the weapons I choose for dealing with the champions and knowing where/when they spawn is more valuable than your build. Void warlock is also really durable, for what it's worth. Poison effects from La Monarque and Osteo striga is also really helpful any time you can make use of them in higher level content. And, if nothing else works, strand shackle grenades destroy champions.

1 ReplyI did the calus ship lost sector flawlessly on my hunter day 3 while 40 light below... While using travelers chosen for anti-barrier (big mistake). You just need to be play better sorry.

Just gotta play d1 style. Hide and pick your spots

Dude the barrier champs will melt you fast. You have to have a serious game plan buster. I use suspend on my warlock with strand on them now and pump them full of secondary and heavy ammo. Run double secondary weapons choose the best possible exotic. If you are running a primary make it a good one like outbreak perfected or something. Range weapons and wave frame launchers are great in these lost sectors, snipers too let's you sit back and pick at the enemies. Thunderlord with it's catalyst is amazing right now. Know the game and know what mods to run for survival. Watch the burns and the surges take advantage of them. Have a plan on what to do when a champ rushes you ECT. It's basically just clearing tough enemies and dealing with those champs. The big boss is not that bad. Try different things and be careful use cover and you want as much res and recov as possible. If the burn is something you know the enemies are going to use like solar then run a few solar resist mods. Barrier champs can be blinded like anything else shoot them with a secondary blinding nade launcher suspend them blind them debuff them with void... Suppress them whatever you do don't just walk out in front of one for too long. Or rip... Freezing them with chill clip and stasis isn't a bad idea either but suspend and blind probably even better.

Sorry to hear your are struggling. Since we have no news if this will get changed or not, here are a few tips for you that may improve your ability to clear: -make as many of your weapons surged or overcharged at as possible. These buffs come from daily mods and artifact mods. Kinetic weapons gain surge if your subclass matches the daily surge modifier. -Pay attention to the threat modifier and add 2-3 resist mods in your chest to compensate. -machine guns put in work right now, and carry a large enough reserve to last through most lost sectors easily. Void ones are esspecially with the artifact mods. -Go slow, pick off champs one at a time and use cover to protect yourself while you handle the champs.

Nope. I had only completed a single legend lost sector prior to Lightfall and it wasn’t flawless. I went after necrotic grips yesterday as well and besides a few bad initial attempts I ended up doing multiple runs in 8-10 minutes including getting my first of multiple flawless runs. I went double primary to deal with the champs and then the new exotic machine gun. The unstoppable champs were pretty easy to get rid of but also the ones I got rid of first and then I took out the barrier by damaging until the barrier went up before stunning and then using super to eliminate it. I would get to the final room at around 4:30 +/- 0:10 and would then eliminate ads before taking out the final champ and then ads before boss damage, rinse and repeat until boss was down which was usually done at the 8-9 minute mark by the time of my final few runs. It felt easier than when I attempted lost sectors prior to Lightfall. I used to think I wouldn’t ever have the Necrotic Grips.

1 ReplyEdited by THE GRIND IS REAL: 3/16/2023 7:59:52 PMWhat confuses me is bungie gives us a legendary campaign which had great exotic stat drops tbh which is a plus but upon completion you arnt the right level for anything legend in this season difficulty wise like lost sectors
-
No. Locked out would imply they can't enter. They're just hard. Things being hard is not locking anyone out of anything. They're 1830 because they're supposed to be hard. They don't need to be changed. Not going to pretend to know your skill level or insult you at all but even the best players can improve.
