Grandmaster Nightfalls in Destiny 2 are intended to be some of the most challenging activities in the game. When they were first added back in April, fans didn’t know what to make of them as they required a lot of effort and offered such minor rewards. Thankfully, Bungie has recently made them more appealing which has pulled in a lot more players, who have also started to develop interesting strategies that the studio may not have originally considered.
The Nightfall this week takes players into the Festering Core, a strike that was added to the game alongside the Destiny 2 Shadowkeep expansion. The mission itself seems to currently have a mixed reaction from fans as it is long and involves plenty of Vex and Taken enemies that constantly challenge the player with not only combat sections but mechanics that force the player to stand on plates or shoot objects to advance. Not only that, some sections feature insta-death energy walls, so players are forced to watch where they jump and when.
For those who want to remove a good portion of that challenge, players have found an interesting way to cheese their way through the Destiny 2 Nightfall this week. Since the mission starts on the moon Io, players will first load into the public space where the Contact public event is currently active. To trigger the cheese, players need to grab a mote from this event before going into the strike. With motes in hand, don’t bank them and instead go start the strike as normal. What happens here is that the mote makes all enemies, including the boss, completely ignore the player with the mote.
Considering this effect lasts for the entire mission, including against the final boss, this sounds like a very easy way to quickly finish the mission. However, with a mote, the game considers the player invisible which also means that standing and triggering the plates during certain sections of the mission is impossible. While dying does remove this effect, players have found that a fireteam of three with two players using the invisibility glitch work best. The two players handle DPS and add control while the third player is able to go and activate the plates.
Another thing to note is that glitched players only do normal damage and don’t get typical weapon based bonus damage including modifiers like Unstoppable or Overload. The non-glitched player will need to do most of that work, with some players indicating that Oppressive or Overload grenade mods as well as an arc secondary weapon are critical for success.
Player discovered cheese and workarounds are fairly common in Bungie’s hugely popular first person shooter. In fact, players have already developed a number of strategies for the current season event, Solstice of Heroes. In order to get to the highest tier of Solstice armor, Bungie has added a number of challenging tasks including getting what seems to be a daunting 7 wins inside of Trials of Osiris. Thankfully, players found a much easier trick to fool the system into potentially easier matches, rather than constantly going up against the best of the best players. While a bit unorthodox, the trick has proven to be a huge help for players who may be a little intimidated by the end game PvP activity.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
