There’s so much to do in the massive online multiplayer game Destiny 2 and so many powerful weapons to get your hands on—but how can you afford all of them? Legendary shards are one of the main currencies in the game and the key to buying top-notch gear from vendors. Luckily, there are several ways to ensure you always have a sizable stockpile of shards available when needed. Read on for a comprehensive guide to farming Legendary shards in Destiny 2, from Dismantling legendary and Exotic weapons to completing activities like Dares of Eternity and Nightmare Containment.
Things You Should Know
- Dismantle Legendary or Exotic gear you aren’t using in your Vault. Legendary gear gives 3 shards when dismantled, and Exotic gear gives 5 shards.
- Complete challenges to earn Legendary gear (which dismantles into shards), including all Nightfall strikes, Gambit, and Crucible activities.
- Improve your ranking with vendors at the Tower to earn Legendary Engrams, which can be exchanged for gear and dismantled into Legendary shards.

Tips
- Certain ways to get Legendary shards in Destiny 2 have been eliminated as newer seasons of the game are released.Thanks
- For example, if you’re a veteran player and have planetary materials still in your inventory, you can use them to gain reputation (and glimmer) from a vendor—but you won’t be able to farm any new planetary materials, as they were eliminated in season 19.Thanks
- Similarly, if you have any old shaders in your collection, you may be able to dismantle them for Legendary shards. However, this method is outdated and only for veteran players since current shaders can’t be saved or dismantled in your inventory.Thanks
