Why You Should Fish in Destiny 2 (& How to Catch Exotic Fish)
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2023
- Why should you fish in Destiny 2? It might not be the BEST loot farm in Destiny 2. But it is the most laid back, lazy & straight forward loot farm in the game. The Exotics can actually be god rolls. Anyway, today is my guide on how to fish in Destiny (optimally), how to actually catch Exotic Fish, and a Focused Fishing glitch that works really well. Also a bait farm if you need one.

At this point I am 99% sure that the focused fishing perk is either bugged as hell or just a placebo, much like the amnesia sanity meter
It's all RNG¡!!!!!!!!!!!! I have used 425 bait and have " 1 " exotic fish my advice stop playing all characters for 1 week then jump back on it seems to work for me for raid and dungeon exotics
Yeah agree.
@POSSIBLYurFATHER it's definitely RNG based. I've only played on my hunter this season so far. And I've caught 4 exotic fish so far. 2 of which were in one fishing session. Definitely luck of the draw lol
@@POSSIBLYurFATHER Absolutely, i've been fortunate. I think i used about 500 bait so far and I've gotten about 6 or so exotics (all shit rolls of stuff i've owned) and two golf balls from it. But some sessions I get 2 within 50 bait, another session I think I've gotten nothing near 100... maybe 1 or 2 purples.
Agree, total RNG-sus, i find it to be a REGULAR source of random exotics / golf balls, while my clan mates seem to be getting nothing. Have several screenshots of less than 200 fish totals, 2/3 exotic and 25+ legendary
I never thought there'd be a day where I'm watching an in-depth fishing strat vid for D2, but here we are
Ya if you told my D1 guardian this. He wouldn't believe you.
You can always pull out the old Escalation Protocal fireteam strats:
-9 people all split up
-keep fast traveling and walking back until 2 people are in the same instance of the same area, 4 people join those fireteams.
-the last 3 remain split up, and repeat until one of them gets in the instance with the other 6, at which point the last 2 can join their fireteam
---> you now have 9 people in one patrol zone, all coordinating
all you need is 2ppl with the same vpn location
Oh, memories of doing this on mars 😅
A very long time ago, in another game, I (and eight or so other friends) used this sort of cheese to get nine man Court of Oryx farms. Now it's being considered for fishing. What a time to be alive lmao.
Or they could just make any open world activity 6 players so we don’t have to do this back alley bullshit haha 😂
or people just leave the fireteam and then the others join???
Put the seasonal armor on before you turn your fish in for bonus progress with the vendor. You can leave it off while fishing.
I could be wrong but wearing the seasonal armor may give you better rng with the fish. I never caught a single exotic until I did. Now I get them on the regs.
@@chrizzle30 Nah fam. I wear my regular gear and I've caught several exotic fish. Unless Bungie says otherwise, I'm pretty sure it's just in your head. Keep doing you, though. Fishermen are notoriously superstitious.
@@xaroxeroyeah , I just caught 3 exotic. No seasonal armor😅
PSA: I got error coded doing this and lost my fish so if you're the person that gets error codes a lot, don't be the person that waits to pick up your fish. Lost 50ish fish
Can also be afk kicked while not moving and fishing.
why the hell would you not pick them up immediately, focused fishing doesn't go up unless you explictly pick them up
@@dankerbell my man did you even watch the video. It's not even that long
@@dankerbell For a couple reasons mentioned in the video.
1. Can start new fishing after public event at max focus.
2. More time getting fish and less time moving.
That being said, I don't think it's worth it at all. Just starting to fish at the end of a public event is good enough AND is negates risk of losing all fish. Fallout Plays is going way over the top for these "tips" imo.
@@thomaselvidge not really but go off I guess
Pro Tip: Join the fish in the water like a true fisherman. If fish land at your feet on the dock, when the Public event spawns, the dock despawns making whoevers on it drop 1 foot (aka move and pick up fish)
You can only leave up to 64 fish on the ground, after that each fish will despawn one. So if you already caught around 60 and there were some legendaries in the beginning it might make sense to carefully pick up some of the common&rare fish.
That explains why when I got an exotic fish early on, the second I got another one it disappeared right when I reeled in a second exotic… so sad and never again, most fish I’ll be picking up now
Can confirm. I used 100 bait in Throne World and, on a whim, got my fish and wound up with 58. No Legendaries, since my RNG is bad.
Can confirm, very relevant.
found this out the hard way
Good looking out my guy. Didn’t know there was a cap, seems like a very important piece of info there.
Pro tip: Do your fishing standing in the water, not standing on the dock. When the public event rolls around, the dock despawns which makes your character drop a couple of feet which can cause you to pick up your fish too soon. Happy Fishing
this /may/ only apply to certain docks, as I've fished on the dock in earth and nessus so far, and when it vanishes I just float in the air until I catch my fish, then I drop after.
But good tip though, worth remembering.
RIP if it's the Nessus fishing spot
Step 1) ask bungie for 6 man patrols
Step 2) have friends
Step 3) have 6 friends
Step 4) fish
Step 5) profit
you only need 5 friends, if its a party of 6 counting you
Anyone else stuck on step 2? 😅
These D2 youtubers love to assume everybody got a whole ass friend group who plays D2 actively lmao
@@MrOkatron also they expect everyone to have every DLC
@@_ghostly_And money for the season pass, assuming you didn't buy the 100$ edition of light fall.
Stand on the water, to not get drop down when dock despawn.
You can also teleport to closest Fast Travel location and come back. Just make sure 1 person stay in fishing spot to load to the same instance.
Fish are despawning after about 60-65 fish on the ground.
Turn your fish in while wearing Sonar Amplifier set.
Catching fish counts as being AFK. Switch some weapons in inventory every 10m/change loadouts/shaders.
What is sonar amplifier net?
@@vapesnob7603 sonar amplifier is the perk of the armor set from the season of the deep activities/vendor. It is to boost your rank ups with the vendor, aka more engrams.
it's 64 fish, to be exact. Why 64, I'm not sure.
Dunno if they fixed it, but last week I was orbited while fishing for inactivity. Apparently actively fishing while standing still didn't count as "activity". There was no warning before being orbited and I lost about 100 fish. Now I make sure to collect at least every 5-10 min, but as long as you don't error code or get orbited I think Fallouts recommended strategy is 100% the way to go. Just remember that you play chicken with Bungie's spaghetti code at your own risk.
PS: For those with bad RNG it was also the joke in our clan for like 2 days that the best way to get an exotic fish was to fish at my fishing hole and not be me. I see you. I feel you.
its still happening. lost 6 legendary fish like this today
You can only have 64 fish on the ground max so you were already losing fish 👍🏼
I got kicked for inactivity while having an exotic not yet picked up, I’m pissed
They should absolutely keep this in the game after the season. They could make it drop legacy seasonal loot. This activity is hands down the best part of the season.
Thank God the fishing guide
The only sad part about fishing is that the Axehead will always be lonely no matter how many fish exotic fish you catch and the easter eggs in the aquarium are neat as well
public events cancelling focused fishing seems the real issue tbh
Right!? You shouldnt have abuse the hell out of a seasonal mechanic just to make it work. Plus, as others have mentioned, unless you got a rock solid connection this "leave them on the ground" method is hella risky.
It sucks but I think they do that so you can’t keep a focused fishing bar at full progress indefinitely-
they should definitely just extend the time and make public event less frequent in that area
@@6head13 they clearly didn't play test this as individual players. With only like 3 or 4 people fishing, you are lucky to get it to focused at all let alone more than 1 minute before the public event.
Fishing shouldnt give you anxiety. 🤦♂️
Let the focused fishing last long enough for one full public event rotation.
@@NeorecnamorceN oh absolutely as per usual we get an awesome concept that gets bogged down cus of poor implementation and reliance on playing in a group
Go bungie !!
Didn't read all the comments, but wanted to point out that you get more rep when turning in fish if you switch to gear that has the Sonar Amplifier.
Only problem(s) I have with fishing is sometimes it can take ages for the focus bar to go up. Even if there are a fair few people fishing. Or it seemingly take long than normal to catch a fish. Adding public events on top of that as well can be annoying.
Tbh, I don't think the focus bar matters.
@@thenexus7343 It does
It only goes up when someone gets a purple or an orange
@@chuomge6598 only hard data will bring the truth here.
Because catching the blues and greens don’t count towards it at all 😢
Keep in mind the Frenzy meter ONLY shortens the time it takes to catch a fish, and not increases the chance of higher-tier loot!
Also note that even if you stand still and feel like purples are too far away for you to pick up when you move, you'd be wrong. Your hitbox is huge when its enabled!
ALSO also (I did it better) FISH DON'T get sent to your postmaster. KEEP THAT IN MIND if you're proned to crashing, or if you wanna afk to watch Fallout on the toilet.
I feel attacked on that last part lmfao 😅
Thanks for the tips man for sure gonna try this with my friend
Thanks for this info! Luv ya Fallout ❤!
This week you just need to pray no one starts the event
I love that your vids like this aren't 20 mins long, thanks for getting to the point fast
And that he doesn't do thumbnails that are like "BEST most EPIC fishing in the GAME. Get EXOTIC fish EVERY time." Where 5 of the 20 minutes are spent asking you to like comment and subscribe and also turn on the notification bell. It's free and it helps out my grandma, and you don't want to miss all of the content coming up such as how I'm making the most GAME BREAKING build that is actually just okay.
Hynra faster
i really like fishing in D2 it so laid back and you get loot at the same time.. no so grindy like other events this is so chill i love it!
That is a super good idea to yet the meter up fast!!! I got crazy lucky yesterday. I got an exotic fish and 3 casts later got another exotic fish. Everyone started shooting me and emoting at me, lol
Standing in 1 spot you can sometimes get returned to orbit
⚠️Just a heads up if you are trying to do the focus fishing challenge in the seasonal challenge helm upgrade tab you have to do the last 2 fish with randoms, when you try to do it with friends in a fireteam you’ll get to 23/25 and be stuck there.
It happened to me and my friends, pretty sure it’s a bug and Bungie hasn’t acknowledged it
EDIT: the challenge is just completely bugged, been stuck at 23/25 since first day, somehow managed to get it to 24 but it’s stuck and I’ve caught 30 fish while at max focusing since and it won’t complete.
you sure about this? ignoring things that actually need fixing doesnt sound like bungie, theyve done a great job making the experience less fun recently so i dunno why you would say that
I subscribed for the 10% buff and the ace tutorial lol 😂
Appreciate the info, bro. I hope other guardians learn about this method of fishing to improve the odds of getting the legendary fish. Personally, I thought that I would lose any fish that I didn't pick up immediately. I'm always watching videos to learn about the best way to play Destiny 2. Thanks again, bro. I appreciate you taking the time out to make these videos 💯👑⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏾.
I believe there a max amount of fish that can be on the ground, exceeding that limit will despawn the first fish that was caught, I saw Farris have an exotic fish despawn after he caught another fish
I wish that the zone that had increased spawns didn't have public events or that they were on alonger cool down. Number of time I've gotten to tier 3/4 focused for the pond to go away because the cabal dropped a drill
Thumbnail is gold.
Ty dor this i so good at this love you fallout
If you get the walker tank public event in the EDZ you can burn the first tank so quickly it leaves all the orbs on the ground and they won’t despawn and a new public event won’t spawn in, in that instance. Had this work twice so far but it could just be coincidence
Sounds like coincidence since I've had multiple public events spawn at the sites of a thousand bouncing arc orbs that make it impossible to loot the chest unless you have some kind of GL/Rocket to blast the box away from them all.
Little lesson I just learned you didn’t mention.
Do not let to many fish stay on the ground!
I followed your advice, fished up two exotics, kept fishing, and when I eventually grabbed them, they despawned.
So yea, when you catch an exotic, you go grab it ASAP 😒 cause now I have to go farming more bait again, just to start over -sigh-
He said to leave blue green and purples on the ground, the exotics you always pick up
@@RezidueWithaZ My bad, I thought he said to leave them all. Sorry if I misunderstood
I cant believe I watched 5 minutes of this. Being a youtuber must be soul crushing.
Instead of standing still while waiting for someone else to do the PE you can just fast travel and head to the event. All the fish should remain on the ground until you go back to pick them up. Cheers!
can’t sorry. gotta finish this emote
Them not giving Ascendant Alloys is a wasted opportunity :(
Seriously, we need more than ONE way of getting them
@@Viperacrx600 There already is more the one way. Obviously you can purchase 1 per week from rahool, you could farm weekly campaign missions or you could farm master wellspring
@@SquaredPasta I did 5 Master Weekly Mission in a row and didn't get a single one so I will take fishing farming any day.
The legal disclaimer at the end was quite funny
Thank you so much Fallout. This weekend is gonna be fun
"Fish love me, Hive fear me"
I felt roasted when you mentioned picking up all of the green and blue fish 😂😂😅
Thanks for the video glhf
Something important to note that I don't think was mentioned in the video, is that you can use any character to add the fish to the tank. For example, if you've not obtained all the exotics from engrams for a class, you may want to change characters before adding legendary fish.
Fishing got me my best stat roll exotic helmet! So I'm happy with it lol
1:28 That one Titan at the right is an absolute unit and that's the only thing I can focus on while Fallout is talking.
Top tier note from the legal team!
Exactly. Thanks bro
The tackle tipp already makes this video worthwhile xD
I didn't know that shit showed me the best spot
if you are in a fireteam aswell you can fast travel without picking up fish and even though the models become invisible you can pick them up, so its fully safe. also there is a limit to how many on the ground can hold, if you see one appear on your right pick up some blues before they delete
solid strat thank you! Unfortunately the first time i tried i disconnected from the server with about 40 on the ground...lol
Good stuff. 👍
You, sir, are a true gamer's gamer guide.
Yeah it’s chill and fun. Got lots of legendary sand exotics
You just have awesome rng for the stay rolls..mine have been all low 60's
Good stuff putting a guide like this together but damn this is way more work than i'm interested in lol. When i get on destiny, I just wanna shoot sh*t xD
That legal disclaimer at the end was everything.
FYI, if you are leaving fish on the ground, make sure to move your character while fishing. I had over 75 fish and 7 of them legendary at one point and because all I had been doing was casting the rod and not moving it logged me out and I lost all of those fish. I was so mad I haven't gone fishing since (that was 3 weeks ago).
Never expected to see a Destiny Fishing Guide, but here we are
My man, if I got those transversive steps, I would go insane
If in a fireteam, you can use fast-travel to carefully even leave legendary and exo fish on the ground that are near you.
First love fallout plays....great videos very straight and to the point if there needs to be a correction or addition he comes out and says that he doesn't keep it under the radar he puts it out on the radar so that we know we need to rehash what was just told to us with new info or corrections.... props for that
I do have one issue with the video is that he does recommend to stay still it may be different on a controller since I don't use a controller and I am not a very mobile back-and-forth player and more straightforward steer with the mouse don't use the side-to-side or the back button that much I'm always going forward and I tend to die a lot but I'm still a noob still trying to learn to play but when it came to the fishing is that I got to a point to where I could just press the interact button to cast in the interact button on the keyboard to reel in my catch and land my fish. I had caught about 53 fish we were in the middle of getting up to The Feeding Frenzy but just still at the middle....a public event rolled through, dock dropped away, caught most of my fish and then basically went ahead and ran around collected all them and as soon as the the public event was over to the new fishing dock and ran over started fishing again adding to my 53 fish another 70 some fish and I had one exotic a lot of legendary and some other you fish that I could see and I had a thought that I was about to hang it up for the night it was late and I just had this thought of what happened if I got disconnected like bungee had a server error or something like that or my connection just dropped away so I thought about 5 more casts and I'll leave and so what happened was is that I went ahead and I cast out my line and all of a sudden I'm back above the throne World return to orbit for inactivity because I was only activating the interaction button to cast and the interaction button to reel in I was not using the mouse I was not touching any other buttons on the keyboard so I had already received the Triumph for catching exotic fish and any pond and no exotic fish no legendary fish no nothing my bait had been expended the 120 some or 130 some bait so I got the first 53 cuz I collected those but as far as the last 76 or so including the Exotic gone never to return gone "FOR-----EEE-----VVVERR" in the immortal words of the Sandlot movie. OK please don't complain that I'm a m + K user and how I should be banned...not for cheating mind you...just for using m + k. I've gotten that before just because I'm a m + K player and I'm not that good I play warlock main but I tend to rush and melee like Titan but the one thing I can't get past a lot of times is how Titans look like they have hair coming out the back of their neck and out of their back on some of their outfits but I will say this both Titans and Hunters have both save my butt so many times so I cannot complain about them but it does sort of look like they have hair growing on their backs so just a friendly reminder to actually everyone is that move a bit even if it's just basically moving the mouse we're moving the controller view so that Bungie doesn't return you to orbit especially if you have an exotic and it's only 8 m away in Fallout 2 fancy did not say absolutely don't move but he said that it basically waste time if you're always running back and forth to catch a fish and the more fish that you catch the faster The Feeding Frenzy gets there so I do understand his reasoning itself like that it's just basically don't be lazy like me I guess and just press the interaction button
This thumbnail is iconic 😆
Looking forward for that extra 10% after subscription buff ❤😉
I had great exotic fishing RNG the other day. Caught three in one pool instance (much to the annoyance of my clanmate with me). They had high stats, but were either terrible distribution or an exotic I don't care to keep. But by far the chillest way to get exotics and shards
thanks fallout
Actually helpful
So today we had a long break between Public Events, apparently either there is a cap on how many fish you can have on the ground (similar to postmaster rules) or there is a despawn timer. I lost one exotic fish on the ground and many legendary ones waiting for the public event to reset our instance. (we got "lucky" because one of the other events spawned and delayed the public event). Anyways, please let people know to be careful waiting to pickup.
Thank you
Never had so much fun in destiny. Glad to have my hobby in a game I actually play :)
I just think it's cute when Fallout subtly features Ano in his videos.
Morning coffee, and destiny fishing, can’t beat it
for bait i recommend the lost sector under the church in the EDZ
the best bait farm I've come across is the tutorial Lost Sector in Trostland EDZ with the entrance in the church. You can equip your classes faster sprint exotic (dunemarchers or Stomp EE5 or whatever), maybe a light frame smg and run past every add, kill the boss, loot the chest, and go back to the trostland patrol area. This should give roughly 5-6 bait per minute.
If you use a controller you can multitask and reel fish in when you feel it vibrate even when tabbed out
Also also also switch to seasonal armour when dunking the fish free extra rep right there
Can confirm. Subscribed and caught an exotic fish.
Ahhh, Escalation Protocol has never been more relaxed
I have gotten 3 exotic fish so far. Two in the EDZ, almost back to back and with the meter only about halfway full. The other this morning in the Throne World with barely any blue visible. I always get my fish and the best loot table is the fishing spot that is the active zone. As far as I can tell, that meter really has nothing to do with quality, maybe frequency, but everything to do with where you start in the string of numbers random list. I spent a cycle last week in the EDZ with a nearly full blue meter and pulled crap, I mean carp, but all around me others were pulling exotics and legendaries. It is a great farm for the seasonal weapons though.
i never would have believed we would be fishing as the go to exotic farm one day, hope they keep this as a permanent feature xD
I’ve been fishing a lot because it’s easy to do it while I wait and see if a vex strike force event pops up on Neomuna
Top-tier thumbnail
I love how he says to do stuff to get bait, I know how this is impossible but I’ve had max bait since the first week- and I don’t fish enough to get rid of it all
you don't have to wait for your friend to cast or wait by the pond. As soon as the new pond spawns you can pick up your fish.
I want an exotic fishing rod 😂
Got one on my 2nd cast of the day😂
Never thought that we'd be at a point in destiny where "optimal fishing strats" is a video that would be made
You could do the lost sector near xur on the edz if your fast enough on strand hunter solar warlock or strand warlock you can be doing the lost sector in about a minute and a half getting 4 bait each clear. If you’re on mnk you can just wellskate out of the lost sectors.
Terminus East is my stomping ground for bait.
Drop down the hole then Sparrow in to the lost sector. Then it's just a matter of running in, ignoring literally everything and beelining for the boss, melting him with Witherhoard+Rocket+Fusion nade then looting the chest.
Run back out (or Sparrow out if you left it just outside of the room), til you hit Trostland's load zone. Keep in mind you don't have to jump out of the hole to trigger the load zone.
Then it's just rinse and repeat. ~30 second run everytime.
@@awesomenessgaming8661 I found a better Strat. So flooded chasm with a demo hot head or reconstruction apex predator 2 rockets kill the boss and you can shoot them while flying in to kill him. If running sunbracers you can also get heat rise.
This makes me want Sparrow racing back Ssssssoooo much
10% extra exotic fish chance.... Take my sub! 😅
roflmao at the small note @ 5:49 🤣
Also also also put on 4 pieces of seasonal gear for 12% more sonar station rep!
If you not notice, the focused fishing meter is completely useless. It is just a placebo. You can catch legendary and exotic even the bar is full empty. It is just "random".
I always go to the place where theres the bonus for the week, i always get to max focus by half way between public event spawns because theres usually at least 3 other people fishing with me. I usually get 1 exotic, 7 legendaries, plus 20-30 something other fish. There was only 1 time i got no exotic fish while fishing at full focus. I even got an exotic before my 1st legendary and i was the only one there. Also i had a time where i got 2 exotic fish but i got 3 exotics because the 3rd one came from turning in legendary fish.
Fyi, if there's a load zone in the same area as your pond, you can fast travel there and all your fish will stay on the ground. I haven't tried fast traveling to another planetary location though, and unfortunately you have to on the throne world.
Got my first exotic fish last night :D first one since fishing became a thing, and the focused fishing bar was only 1 quarter full which was surprising
Though I didnt get any others the rest of the night sadly
When farming bait what might be faster is Toland patrols on the moon. They're like scan patrols but in the same load and u don't have to input to complete. Idk if its still the same efficency now shatter skate is gone
You can also fast travel if you need to move to need pick up any fish around you
also make sure you're standing in the water and not on the dock. If you're standing on the dock when the pond goes away, you'll drop and collect any nearby fish
3:47 at around this time you’ll see that just before the “full” frenzy bar pops up, there is a different bar at only 1/4. I think this is the actual chance because yesterday I found a group of people at max frenzy and started fishing, then after they left I noticeably started catching LESS legendary even tho the bar was “full”. I had gone from a legendary every 2-5 casts to legendary every ~20 casts. Fishing is definitely bugged.
Got 5 exotic fish on my first trip after 60 some bait with 6 randos fishing with me. I love this little minigame they added
