Destiny 2 Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk Guide: How To Get The Season Of Plunder Hunter Exotic Armor
Since the release of Void 3.0 in Destiny 2, invisibility has become one Main Part of every hunter’s skill set. Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk, the new Hunter Exotic chest armor released with Season of Plunder, leverages the near-endless invisibility made possible by Void 3.0 to give you and your teammates a number of additional benefits. Here’s how to earn Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk and how best to use it with your invisibility builds.
Perks for Gyrfalcons Hauberk
There’s a lot to analyze for Gyrfalcons Hauberk, but it all has to do with what you do while invisible and when you come out of invisibility. The See Me, Feel Me Perk confers a range of benefits based on your actions while invisible. Most of the time, you’ll activate bonus weapon damage by using them after you “emerge from invisibility” – meaning you get a temporary boost to your weapons when the invisibility effect wears off. Firing weapons breaks invisibility, meaning you can get this boost every time you start shooting while invisible.
Weapon boosts are nice, but you should pay more attention to the perk’s second buff, which is activated by killing enemies with finishers while you’re invisible. Finish off an enemy while they can’t see you and you’ll gain a boost to your class ability regeneration, as will any nearby allies. You and your nearby allies also gain a “Reserve Overshield,” which is a new concept. Typically, when an ability or exotic activates an overshield, it’s just an extra shield on top of your normal shield, effectively giving you a small amount of extra hitpoints. Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk gives you a reserve overshield that Not automatically added to your existing shield. Instead, you activate it with your class ability, meaning you can wait and use that shield whenever you want, and the same goes for your teammates.
Hunters can enable invisibility with Void 3.0 in a variety of ways depending on their build, such as: B. by using their class ability, throwing smoke grenades, or getting Stylish Executioner kills by taking out fleeing enemies and using finishers or kills with powered abilities. Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk probably works best with builds that focus on invisibility activated with your class ability as it offers improved class regeneration, but any invisibility build can reap its benefits.

Where to get Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk
Like other seasonal exotics, Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk isn’t easily obtained from any exotic engram drop. Instead, you must seek the chest armor by earning it through Solo Legendary or Master Lost Sector Clears. Once you’ve added the Exotic to your Collections tab, you can find it in Engram Drops, but the only way to unlock it is in Lost Sectors.
Legendary and Master Lost Sectors are special versions of Lost Sector activities that are significantly more difficult than regular runs. Only one Lost Sector in the game each day is Legendary and is marked with a special icon on the Director’s screen. However, Legendary Lost Sectors have an increased chance of dropping exotic items upon completion, which is why you should complete them – this chance is even higher in Master Lost Sectors. Although Legendary Lost Sectors say an exotic drop is a “rare” event, it’s uncommon to run one more than say 10 times without getting a drop, and even on these harder difficulties you can do it in minutes.
The Icon of the Legendary Lost Sector indicates the rewards you can receive upon completion, which rotate daily – for example, exotic helmets will be awarded one day, while exotic breastplates will be awarded the next. Be sure to check the icon before boarding to ensure you get the rewards you want. It’s also worth noting that while you’re not guaranteed to get an exotic drop on every run, you’re not guaranteed to get one either just the drop you want. Exotic drops in Destiny 2 are designed to give you exotics that you don’t have, but if you’re missing more than one exotic chestpiece from your collection when clearing a Legendary Lost Sector, chances are you’ll get something other than gorgets of the gyrfalcon.
How to complete a Legendary Lost Sector
Legendary Lost Sectors sound difficult, but they’re not necessarily that bad, provided you go in prepared. These Lost Sectors differ from their regular counterparts in a few ways: first, they typically have high power level ratings, meaning enemies will be harder to kill and harder to hit if your level is below the recommended mark; Second, they contain multiple champion enemies, and killing them all gives you the best rewards. and third, they have a variety of modifiers like Arc Singe or Blackout that can make them harder to finish. Instead of simply running into a Lost Sector as usual, Legendary and Mastery Lost Sectors are activated by interacting with a banner found outside of their entrances.
Legendary and Master Lost Sectors also limit revives and have a completion timer. You only have a few revive counters when you play through the Lost Sector, and use one every time you die. If you run out of tokens, you will be kicked out of the Lost Sector and forced to start over. However, killing champions earns you extra tokens. When the Lost Sector completion timer runs out, you won’t be able to revive – same as if you ran out of tokens – so finishing fast is important, but being a little slow won’t necessarily kill you run.
Finishing Legendary and Mastery Lost Sectors can be tricky, but if you prepare for it, it’s very much possible – and in fact, once you know the ins and outs of a given sector, you can make runs in some of the easier ones in just a few minutes, so you can farm them quickly. First you need to make sure you have noted the champion mods on the Lost Sector icon that you can get from the seasonal artifact. A number of Exotics like Arbalest, Divinity, and Wish-Ender also come with Intrinsic Champion mods, so even if you’re not far with your Season Pass, you can find the right tool for the job.
Legendary Lost Sector symbols also tell you what enemy shields you’re dealing with, and destroying enemies with the wrong elemental weapon type can be difficult. But on the whole, weapons like Arblest, which can penetrate any shield, or which carry the Adaptive Munitions perk and can adapt to any shield you face, can help you get through.
The trick with any Legendary Lost Sector is to go slowly and carefully to find the best locations for cover, where enemies will spawn, and which ones to prioritize as you move forward. Don’t be afraid to do a few runs to get a feel for the space and what gear to use – in some Lost Sectors, long-range guns make encounters trivial, while in others you’ll need a rocket or grenade launcher to take down tightly packed enemies quickly to get out of the way. You’ll probably want to farm a Legendary Lost Sector multiple times in a row to get the exotics you want with the roles you want. So take the time to familiarize yourself with one before committing. Threats always reside in the same place in a given Lost Sector. So if you know what to expect, you should be able to reduce the time it takes to complete one to the point where you can reliably run it over and over again.
