Destiny 2's Season of the Haunted is being regarded as a great release for all the additions it brought, such as the new Leviathan patrol zone that players can explore or the Solar 3.0 update. Because there are plenty of new weapons to craft and materials to obtain to do so, Destiny 2 fans usually try to find the best farming spots or even take advantage of glitches found in the game. One example is the old farming spot called Thrallway, which is found in the Shattered Throne Dungeon and entails infinite hordes of enemies jumping at players.
In Season of the Haunted, it may be a bit harder to do something similar to those old days, but players were quick to find another major glitch that can provide infinite Legendary Shards. There have been similar glitches before, where players were able to spend resources to get more Legendary Shards than intended, but Destiny 2 YouTuber and content creator Cheese Forever found a new one that will likely be patched later today.
As Cheese Forever explains in the video on the subject, Destiny 2 players can currently reacquire blue items from their Collection for Glimmer and then dismantle them for Legendary Shards. This is not supposed to happen, as Rare items don't award Legendary Shards when dismantled, and players cannot replicate the glitch with any blue item they find. Instead, they should head to their Collection tab and go to the Armor section.
There, players will find a sub-category called Leveling, which is where all the basic armor sets from white to blue are stored if players ever need to grab those back. In this case, Destiny 2 fans should purchase class items from the Gumshoe or Midnight Oil sets from The Witch Queen expansion for 777 Glimmer, and then dismantle every piece acquired to get 3 Legendary Shards per item. This glitch can quickly allow players to get thousands of Legendary Shards, and the loop can be sustained by purchasing Baryon Bough from Master Rahool and then convert it to Glimmer.
Bungie usually intervenes rather quickly in these cases, but it may be several hours until a hotfix is deployed. Something similar happened to one of Destiny 2's Solar 3.0 Fragments that was disabled recently, with Bungie providing an ETA for the hotfix on June 7, meaning that the Fragment will remain unusable for almost two weeks. In this case, it's likely that Bungie's immediate response will be to remove the ability for players to reclaim the Gumshoe or Midnight Oil sets until a permanent solution is found.
Destiny 2 is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
