We’ve even got everything you need to know about Destiny 2 fishing.
Destiny 2 Salvage explained
Salvage is a six-player matchmade Seasonal activity in Destiny 2 Season of the Deep, taking place on Titan as we take recover Golden Age tech for the Drifter.
Players will then be sent to an area of Titan to face off against the Hive in a brand new seasonal activity, involving battles on the surface and in the surprising new underwater areas coming in Season of the Deep. While the Hive are the main focus of Season 21, the Fallen can also be found in Salvage.
There are four main stages to the Salvage activity which will be randomized throughout your run:
- Ordnance Disposal
- Site Security
- Engineering
- Site Reliability
There are different variations on each of these, such as involving Hive combatants or Fallen, with slightly different objectives within the stage. You will finish a Salvage run with a boss fight.
How to start Salvage in Destiny 2
To start Salvage in Destiny 2, you will have to view the destination map for the H.E.L.M and locate the Salvage playlist, much like previous seasonal activities. Once you’ve been matchmade with other Guardians, you’ll be thrown into the action on Titan.
How to get Salvage Keys in Destiny 2
Salvage Keys can be acquired from complete ritual playlist activities and from in the Season Pass vendor rewards in the H.E.L.M. Salvage Keys are automatically redeemed when opening the Salvage Chest at the end of a Salvage activity to improve the rewards.
These are very similar to the Defiant Key system from Season 21: Season of Defiance, so you will find yourself at home if you’ve played the previous season.
