Desire to know more than most Haunted Sectors in Destiny two? The Festival of the Lost (opens in new tab) is here over again at final, but this twelvemonth, it's a little different. Sure at that place are withal creepy masks, themed Sparrows and candy to collect, merely did y'all know there volition exist dino armour this twelvemonth? Y'all voted for information technology, Guardians, and it'll be available to collect all through this year'due south consequence. The Festival of the Lost runs from October 12 until Nov two, and so let'south accept a look at how to get started.

What are Haunted Sectors in Destiny 2?

As always, you lot'll have to accept escaped the Cosmodrome to access the Tower and endgame activities. In one case you've done that, visit the upshot NPC, Eva Levante, to become started. She'll explain how this year's activeness works and will offer yous bounties and rewards throughout the event. In one case you've completed the initial quest, you'll be able to access new activities via the Tower destination map or the mission totem next to Eva.

Speaking of activities, instead of traipsing through the Haunted Forest, it's off to Haunted Sectors this year. These time-limited Lost Sectors feature foreign new enemies similar the Headless Ones, who have glowing pumpkins as heads. They'll explode with loot, and then they're worth hunting. There's also a strange animate being that's a creepy combo of Exo and Vex that you'll need to seek out, and find a Guardian who'due south being hunted for their Ghost on Nessus. All in all, these three new activities should keep you busy over the side by side few weeks.

If you don't accept a mask from previous festivals, you can buy them from Eva for 100 Blink each. My favourite is the Honk Moon Mask which is similar a goose because geese are absolutely terrifying creatures. Did you lot know that they can sit in copse and honk at you?

Anyway, there's as well a Taniks, a Darkness Pyramid and an Eramis mask to collect, though you lot could exist old school like me and simply run around looking similar the Cryptarch for three weeks. Think: you demand to take a mask equipped in the Haunted Sectors to get the rewards.

There's the usual candy and mystery take hold of bags that come with an assortment of loot, and the Braytech Werewolf and Horror Story guns are returning. Alongside Dino Armour—remember, you asked for it—there's also the Jurassic Light-green Pulse rifle which comes with a unique quest.
