NEW LOOT CAVE ON VENUS!!!
Just follow the instructions in the video. All credit goes to the creator of the video.

6 RepliesLoot caves are useless, did you know they patched the patrol engram drop rate some time ago? The probability of getting a legendary engram from loot caves is so small that it is not worth the trouble. You are better off doing ROC strikes which has a higher chance of giving you legendary engrams and ships (I got 3 legendary engrams myself last weekend doing ROC strikes for about an hour).

Works better if you stand on the taller pillar rock formation between the vex and fallen spawn. If you stand there, you will not need to jump over and over.

7 RepliesI need like 250 plasteele plating for my titan to level up so this is gonna be much faster the grinding roc

1 ReplyNot really new. I farm that entire area all the time. There are up to 5 major fallen in that area.

This is not new....a bunch of us hace been doing this since October. Actually I do all my kill type bounties in Ishtar Cliffs starting there, then counter clockwise to the next fallen area, then over to where fallen and vex are fighting, down to where vex are, I'm the corner where 3 harpies and 2 hobgoblins spawn then the steps where thr minotaur is, hit the two caves for chests, back to fallen and vex fight (they spawn fast and will be there on way back), back down to where the 3 shanks (sometimes one is a major) and the major dreg/servitor is. Pop ether seeds and blue polyphage and stack glimmer while doing it. If you're lucky, you will gwt vex sacrifice public event which could net you 3k+ with blue polyphage on. It's a great glimmer, chest, mat, bounty run. My fave

1 ReplyMight be an interesting spot to farm the fallen majors bounty, but other then that its a waste of time and I honestly wonder who does this sort of farming... Have fun farming 2 hours for 2 ascendant materials. Kek.

8 Repliesyou're an idiot. Even if it was worth the time to stop and camp (it's not) bungie would patch it in two days, because of a-holes like you. Rahool is useless, because of a-holes like you. the RNG is worthless, because of a-holes like you. You know why Rahool only gives out rare engrams (he used to hand out legendary) for each level increase? because cause of f***ing a-holes like you. Thanks for ruining everything.

I've got almost 3000 Hadronic Essence. My Hunter has less than 25 Sapphire Wire, Titan bout 3 Plasteel Plates. Since there is currently no materials trading, loot caves are a plus. Thanks for this post Guardian....

To be honest, that place looks much better for ether seeds and house banners then for engrams. You can get that many engrams doing Vanguard Roc for 30 minutes instead.

1 Reply"R.I.P Loot Cave 1.0" The most lame-ass statement I have ever seen on these forums. These are the same jerks that banned 29s from raid in on Hard Mode VoG on the LFGs and the same jackasses that demand exploits and cheese. It is nice to see that there is a lot of sensible people still here though.

Edited by PicanteKitten7: 2/2/2015 3:45:29 PMHad to do the 6 Venus patrol bounty yesterday and my buddy showed this video to me while I was patrolling. Went to that spot and there were at least 5 other guardians already there farming away. I didn't want to get in their way so I jumped up to the highest rock behind them and helped them out with my icebreaker. The best part was when the public event started and we dominated. Afterwards one determined level 25 stayed and kept loot caving. After about half an hour, there were tons of greens and a few blue engrams. Tons of heavy ammo cuz of that glitch tho.

1 ReplyEdited by Roe Larry: 2/2/2015 3:33:33 PMLooks good for the Fallen Majors bounty. And ROC strikes are the new loot cave.
-
I don't think bungie cares, everyone knows where the one on mars is and it hasn't been touched.
-
Loot has been fubar since they patched drops because of loot cave 1.0
-
That's not really a loot cave.
-
Lol, I just now picked up a legendary heavy engram from here. Had about 30 greens and 5 blues before this.
-
Tried it last night, sat there for 10 minutes and killed everything and not one engram dropped.
-
Pretty cool, like the video said good for lower levels, or of you just don't feel like running strikes. Might use it to help level/gear up my new hunter lol.

15 RepliesLoot caves are useless. Now. A roc strike gets you 5-10 engrams in about 12 minutes.
-
Edited by Amadeus1613: 2/2/2015 3:24:12 AMLoot caves are officially redundant. Bungie saw to that with ROC strikes, daily events and weekly heroic. Legendaries are mostly rubbish now with the level 32 raid gear.
-
It's not even worth the time. The probability of getting an Legendary engram is so low these days. You're better off doing ROC strikes.
-
Seeing loot caves brings a tear to my eye. And a little confusion because strikes are much better than patrol drops. R.i.p. loot cave 1.0 miss you honey :'(
-
9 RepliesAnd what is the point in loot caves now. You want engrams: ROC strikes
-
Is there any point to loot caves anymore? It's all about the raid weps and armour I thought...
-
5 RepliesTHIS NEEDS TO BE NERFED NOW! EVERYBODY WORK OVERTIME STOP ALL OF THE BETTER THINGS YOU COULD BE DOING FOR THE GAME AND NERF THIS CAVE IMMEDIATELY! - Bungie This is how I feel they will respond

I meant to say that this is a good thing to know if I'm short on plasteel plating again. Also thanks for sharing this on the forums, so it will be removed from the game. FYI: I'm Dutch myself.
