Unlocking Strand Meditations In Destiny 2

Earning Strand Meditations in Destiny 2 is a crucial part of unlocking and enhancing the Strand subclass. While players need to complete the Lightfall campaign to access Strand, earning Meditations allows them to unlock new abilities and Fragments. There are several ways to earn Strand Meditations, including completing activities in Neomuna, such as Public Events, Patrols, and Terminal Overload. Additionally, defeating enemies using Strand abilities and completing the weekly reputation challenge with Nimbus will grant players Strand Meditations. It's worth noting that Strand Meditations are earned faster in the Vex Incursion Zone of Neomuna. Players can also obtain a one-time bonus of 300 Meditations by completing the campaign on Legendary difficulty. With these methods, players can gather enough Strand Meditations to purchase upgrades and create a powerful Strand build for their character.

Complete activities on Neomuna and kill enemies with Strand abilities

To earn Strand Meditations in Destiny 2, players can complete activities on Neomuna and kill enemies with Strand abilities.

Neomuna is a human city on Neptune, far more advanced than any other human settlement in the game. It was developed in secret since the Collapse, hidden from all outside communication. The city is populated by towering neon skyscrapers, large open plazas, and the markings of a recently bustling metropolis.

Completing any activity in Neomuna will earn players small amounts of Strand Meditations. This includes Public Events, Patrols, and Terminal Overload. Players can also earn a weekly bonus of Strand Meditations by completing the weekly reputation challenge with Nimbus.

Killing enemies with Strand abilities will also earn players Strand Meditations. Each ability kill has a chance of dropping a Strand Meditation that can be picked up. These will appear as glowing green triangles, so keep an eye out for them. This method can be done anywhere in the game, not just in Neomuna.

Additionally, there are a few one-time bonuses that can be earned. Completing the campaign on Legendary difficulty will reward players with an extra 300 Strand Meditations from Nimbus. Increasing your Neomuna Rank to 18 will also earn you 200 Strand Meditations from Nimbus.

So, to maximise your Strand Meditations, make sure to complete activities on Neomuna, kill enemies with Strand abilities, and take advantage of any one-time bonuses that are available.

Complete Terminal Overload events

To earn Strand Meditations in Destiny 2, players must complete Terminal Overload events. Terminal Overload is a public activity attached to Lightfall, and it is the source of exclusive weapons like the Synchronic Roulette Strand submachine gun and the Basso Ostinato Void shotgun. It is a world event found on Neptune and is accessible to all players. It is always active and can be found in various regions throughout the Neptune patrol zones. The three-day location cycle includes Ahimsa Park, Liming Harbor, and Zephyr Concourse.

To complete Terminal Overload events, players must:

Stage 1 & 2:

• Destroy the Anchors
• Disrupt hack attempts
• Deny Access
• Reclaim Array
• Free Array

Stage 3:

• Overload Array
• Deny Access

Stage one and two are very similar, with increasing enemy density and more powerful foes in stage two. Stage three contains two boss phases. The first is with a Psion, and the second is with a giant Vex Minotaur. A Terminal Overload key is required to obtain the Neomuna weapon of the day.

Completing Terminal Overload events will earn players 75 Strand Meditations if they use the key.

Finish the Lightfall campaign on Legendary difficulty

Finishing the Lightfall campaign on Legendary difficulty in Destiny 2 will grant you access to a range of rewards. These include:

• A gear bundle at 1770 Power level, which is 20 above the soft cap and 30 below the Powerful gear cap. This includes a full set of rare armour and weapons, as well as eight Upgrade Modules to boost your power level.
• 300 Strand Meditations, which can be spent at the Pouka Pond on Neomuna to unlock Strand Aspects and Fragments.
• A unique emblem, the Sanctuary of Nefele, to commemorate your completion of the Lightfall Legendary campaign.
• Extra loot chests during missions, granting you additional gear and Upgrade Modules to further increase your power level.

It's worth noting that the Legendary campaign is designed to scale with your Fireteam, meaning the difficulty will adjust depending on the number of players. You can also change the difficulty at any time during the campaign if you feel the need to adjust the challenge.

Increase your Neomuna rank to 18

To increase your Neomuna rank to 18 in Destiny 2, you'll need to earn Neomuna Reputation, also known as Nimbus Reputation. This is essentially a collectible currency that is deposited straight into your Reputation Rank for Neomuna. The higher your rank, the better the rewards you can claim from Nimbus, including powerful gear, materials, and other bonuses.

There are several ways to earn Neomuna Reputation and increase your rank. Firstly, complete bounties, patrols, public events, Terminal Overload runs, and Lost Sectors in the city. Each completion of Terminal Overload will grant you XP when you open one of the two chests available, and there's an exploit that allows you to open the chest three times per run for extra XP.

You can also obtain Neomuna Rank by opening chests found around the city, such as the nine Regional Chests, which grant 100 reputation points each, and cache chests. Additionally, collect Cloud Accretions, which are destination resources found in the major locations of Neomuna and its Lost Sectors. Each Cloud Accretion you collect will give you 20 Neomuna reputation and some Glimmer.

Completing the Lightfall campaign will also boost your Neomuna Rank significantly, taking you up to Rank 10. This will also unlock more activities for you to complete on Neomuna.

By combining these methods, you should be able to increase your Neomuna rank to 18 and beyond, reaping the rewards of your efforts in Destiny 2.

Kill Neptune bosses and complete patrols, public events, and Lost Sectors

To earn Strand Meditations in Destiny 2, players can complete a variety of activities in the Neomuna, Neptune area. This includes killing Neptune bosses, as well as completing patrols, public events, and Lost Sectors.

Killing Neptune bosses and completing activities in the Neomuna, Neptune area is a great way to earn Strand Meditations. This area is a Vex Incursion Zone, which means players will earn extra Strand Meditations from all sources. Here are some specific ways to earn Strand Meditations:

• Completing Public Events: Players can participate in Public Events, which are available in the Neomuna, Neptune area. These events offer a chance to earn small amounts of Strand Meditations.
• Completing Patrols: Players can also take on patrol missions, such as the gold patrol missions, which are known to reward Strand Meditations upon completion.
• Completing Lost Sectors: Lost Sectors are challenging optional dungeons found in the Neomuna, Neptune area. Completing these dungeons can reward players with Strand Meditations. In the Neomuna, Neptune area, there are three Lost Sectors to explore: Hydroponics Delta, Gilded Precept, and Thrilladrome. These Lost Sectors can be challenging to access and complete, with power levels ranging from 1760 to 1780. However, they offer a great opportunity to earn Strand Meditations and other rewards.
• Killing Neptune Bosses: In addition to the activities above, players can also earn Strand Meditations by defeating Neptune bosses. These bosses can be found within the Lost Sectors or during Public Events.

It's important to note that Strand Meditations drop frequently, so players will have ample opportunities to earn them by engaging in activities in the Neomuna, Neptune area. Additionally, players can also earn Strand Meditations by defeating enemies using Strand abilities anywhere in Destiny 2 and picking up the green items they drop.
