TL;DR
Raid Triumphs and Challenges
For raid-related ghost shells, you often need to complete specific triumphs. For example, a shell might drop after completing a raid with three active feats, such as limited revives or encounter challenges [1:1]
[1:2]. It's important to note that while some triumphs may seem daunting, they might only require partial completion for the shell reward
[1:5].
Collecting Items and Achieving Scores
Some ghost shells are obtained by collecting items or achieving certain scores. The Fundament ghost shell, for instance, requires reaching a score of 350 through activities like finding moths and opening deepsight chests [2:1]
[2:5]. This involves exploring and completing various world secrets and challenges
[2:3].
Rank Resets in Game Modes
Certain ghost shells are linked to rank resets in game modes like Gambit. To obtain the Furtive shell, players must reset their Infamy rank three times, which can be done over multiple seasons [5:1]
[5:3]. This requires reaching a high rank repeatedly, but it doesn't have to be completed within a single season.
Considerations for Collectors
While some players prioritize ghost shells based on aesthetics or perks like "Guiding Light," others focus on completing collections [3:1]. Many older shells may no longer be obtainable, so it's worth considering which ones are currently available and align with your gameplay style
[3:4].
If you're returning to Destiny 2 and feeling overwhelmed, consider connecting with other players who can help guide you through the new content and assist in acquiring these collectibles [4:1].
So, inside the title there are some "optional" triumphs (with a blue text that specifies it - ex. flawless triumph) but there something that doesn't quite add up.
You'll obviously need the raid trophies (all the items basically) and the ghost shell is dropped by a triumph, specifically the one that asks you to do the raid with more and more feats.
That triumph is also needed for the other one that gives +1 tier to every drop, but only to a 3/5 point, but if you need the ghost shell you'll still have to complete that triumph 5/5, even if it says it's not required?
Does the shell drop earlier or is just another of Bungie's DLC mishaps?
It is worded strangely in fairness but good news it does drop after completing a run with 3 feats active 😊 the triumph will be at 3/5 until you do more stacked feats but you'll have the shell. We did challenge, half rez's and 2 phase and it wasn't that bad but you can always wait until the recently announced difficulty nerf to get it done!
They're gonna deduce difficulty? It does not seems that bad as it stands now honestly.
The 5 feat raid has been touted as the single hardest piece of content Bungie ever released by the first known team to clear it. Whether that is hyperbole or not I’m not entirely sure, either way though 5 feat is definitely extremely challenging. (I’m personally not a fan of them making it easier, I think it should’ve remained as it was as an incredibly hard achievement)
Yeah, the elitist in me doesn't like the change as we've been working through the seal and it's been challenging but then the non elitist part of me knows it's better making the content more accessible for all...
I just dislike that the raid triumphs are only accessible withing the seal menu and not integrated within Keplars node
The shell drops from the 3rd step of that triumph.
Ok, that makes more sense than. Thanks!
The ghost shell drops at 3 feats active. No need to do the 5 feat triumph for the title. It’s worded poorly in game, likely due to limitations on how triumphs can be displayed there, but you can see it’s the reward for 3/5 feats active in the app. I’d recommend the limited revives, 2 phase, and either banes or encounter challenges as your active three for that one.
How do you get this ghost shell?
Easiest path for me was to get all the moths, then farm deepsight chests and executioner chests. Each rank of that is +20 or something. So, all the moths, five deepsight chests, and farming five execution chests got it done.
Did this work? :o I thought you had to complete all triumphs
You just need a score of 350 I think
It’s 350 score you need tho right?
Chief investigator triumph under throne World > World > secrets
Lot of deepsight hunting and gotta find those moths.
Thanks, currently trying to find a YouTube guide on it
the moths seem to be 2 a week so it'll take until week 5 at least
Go for the Shadow of Earth shell. It's pretty cool.
Tbh. If it doesn't have guiding light I don't use it.
And with the seasons reward engrams the way they are I now have a copy of the Cosmos Shell with each planetary destination on it.
Also I can't believe the Leviathan ghost wasn't included. It has a chance to get you a year 1 exotic.
for me it used to be guiding light ghost and insta summon sparrow but after getting the always on time (scourge sparrow) which does not have insta summon i've been using a speed demon ghost instead
Well if you were lucky enough to get that app glitch you could have one with both :D
Most of them you can't even get anymore
Hey fellas. Hope you all are doing well. I am a D2 player. However, I haven't played since the season of the Wish. I got a console so I downloaded Destiny and purchased The Final Shape expansion. However, upon opening the game, I was quite overwhelmed with the general experience and needed some guidance navigating through it all. What was removed? What is here? What do I do? I primarily play warlock so I'm open if someone has some advise or wanted to lend a hand to run some of the Final Shape content together. I'll appreciate any advice given. Please feel free to send a dm if you are interested in playing together and stuff. I play in NA-East. Thank you all.
Happy to help! Which platform do you play on? If you want to DM me I can get a squad going and we can run you through some final shape. I main warlock as well. My gamertag is: CAMELM3ISTR
I’ve gotten mixed answers. I’ve heard you have to reset your infamy twice and I’ve heard three times. Also do I have to reset my infamy rank that many times in a single season or can it be over multiple seasons?
Reset 3 times over the course of the game’s lifetime.
It’s defiantly resetting three times
You have to do three collective infamy resets to unlock the shell. Any season/any count works, but you just have to reach 15k three times.
Hi guys, I don't know how to tell you this but I am new to Destiny game and I would like you to tell me, what is the way to get Ghost Shells, Ships, Sparrows? I tried to look for guides on Youtube but they are not very concrete, please.
Basically they are cosmetics. Mostly they are eververse items, so usually u can obtain them by opening Eververse Engram. Sometimes they are sold in bright dust (keep in mind, bright dust shop rotate weekly) which is a section in eververse store.
Some of these cosmetics are also rewarded when completing dungeon/raid with challenge. Check for the triumph page of each dungeons/raids (Though not all dungeon and raids will have these as rewards)
There are also some from other places like Crucible, mainly Trials of Osiris but this is high-end PvP and I dont recommend this until u get used to the game first.
Also if u want to find more information about ANY items in the game, check out Destiny 2 Database
Most of them come from Eververse. Others you can get from raids and dungeons, seasonal events(Dawning, Guardian Games, etc.), and season passes.
note: sometimes it doesn't drop straight from the dungeon / raid / activity but requires you to clear some sort of accomplishment, like a solo dungeon etc.
And claiming the triumph afterwards will actually give you the drop, not the clear itself.
They should just turn these into skins tbh. My inventory is filled with all these ghost shells
You know you don't have to keep the ghost shells/sparrows/ships in your inventory right?
Once you've got it you can safely dismantle them and always pull them from Collections in the Equipment tab if you want them back
Yeah, but then you have to use mats to upgrade them every time you'd do that. It'd be easier to just have one fully upgraded ghost that you can change the appearance of.
#09 is from soloing the old prophecy dungeon one of my personal favorites
Cottontail never leaves my side. The best little ghost.
I love that silly thing so much.
I was never able to accomplish that even after months of trying. Is it do-able now?
Bright Engrams, Bright Dust (in the store), certain challenges and triumphs. Honestly, just play normally and you'll start getting more and more of them. Certain exotic ones you can chase, but legendary ones will come to you.
Hey Guardians,
I'm dealing with what seems to be a bugged drop rate for the Bane of Crota Shell from Altars of Sorrow, and Bungie's support is completely ignoring it.
From what we know, this Ghost Shell has either a ~5% drop rate or is guaranteed after 40 final chest completions. I’ve farmed this activity far beyond what should be necessary—I've completed:
Despite this, I still don’t have the Ghost.
I submitted a support ticket, but Bungie’s response was basically: "Not our problem, go ask for help somewhere else." The issue? There is no longer a proper way to report these kinds of bugs. The ability to submit tickets for this type of issue was removed, and the #Help forums feel like a black hole where complaints go to die.
There’s speculation that the bad luck protection (40 runs guarantee) is shared with the ship from Pit of Heresy, meaning that getting the ship could reset the Ghost Shell’s protection counter. However, this doesn’t apply in my case because I got the ship from the dungeon itself, not from Altars of Sorrow.
At this point, I just want my damn Ghost.Hey Guardians,I'm dealing with what seems to be a bugged drop rate for the Bane of Crota Shell from Altars of Sorrow, and Bungie's support is completely ignoring it.From what we know, this Ghost Shell has either a ~5% drop rate or is guaranteed after 40 final chest completions.

Possible Explanation (That Still Shouldn’t Apply Here)
There’s speculation that the bad luck protection (40 runs guarantee) is shared with the ship from Pit of Heresy, meaning that getting the ship could reset the Ghost Shell’s protection counter. However, this doesn’t apply in my case because I got the ship from the dungeon itself, not from Altars of Sorrow.
So, where am I actually supposed to report this so that it gets proper attention and resolution?
Is there any way to escalate this issue beyond the forums?
Has anyone else experienced this bug with the Bane of Crota Shell?
At this point, I just want my damn Ghost.
We get a ghost shell from altars? I've been doing them for years and I've never got a ghost shell to drop
Exactly
Have you tried on another character fingers crossed for ya
Yes, I tried
You're confused about how the bad luck protection resetting works. So, the ship only drops from the Pit of Heresy boss, and the Ghost shell only drops from Altars tier V bosses. However, if you have either one drop at any time, then it resets the bad luck protection clear count for the other item, because it's linked. And no, this isn't speculation as you claim, this is how it works, as confirmed by Bungie via a community manager.
So, when did you get the ship to drop from Pit of Heresy? And how many Altars clears do you have since getting the ship to drop? Because that's your actual number of clears for the bad luck protection counter on the ghost shell.
The ship dropped 5 years ago. The perfect waves are numbers from this season.
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, definitely seems like it's bugged then.
Hey, I'm finishing all of MWIIs Achievements, I'm done with everything but the veteran/realism campaign and this: Find 20 Intel fragments in Coop or Raid.
Could anyone give me tips, a guide or help to get them? I'd appreciate it a ton.
I also really wanna do the Raid.
Ive done it picking up randomly in the three maps. You can do it in Denied area or low profile because there are 20 in each map but it’s more difficult/longer grabbing all of them in the same map. The Mt. Zaya map only has 10 but for me it’s easier.
If you do it in low profile almost all of them are in the buildings of A,B,C or close to them.
I grabbed half of them playing the objective but the rest had to search match randomly and focus only in intel.
The ghost shell requires a Triumph that wants 10 lore pages.
You can farm them completely alone, as long as you have a post-entrance checkpoint. This can also be done in the Preservation post-raid mission. It's located directly under the raid icon.
You're looking to be in this big room where all the symbols are.
Then in the wall here you can see a hole you can jump through.
You see 3 rows of symbols, but you only need to pay attention to 2 lines when doing this alone.
Here's the ones you need to remember when going back into the room with the buttons.
After activating one, and melee-ing the other symbol, you get a lore page.
Then just run into Acquisition, shoot the crux, and wipe. Then walk back to the puzzle and repeat.
Is there anyone with a checkpoint they can give to solo players?
You can do it with preservation but I don’t think solo that way. Want to join me? I’m kind of confused lol
Wait never mind - it doesn’t allow you to wipe in Preservation so it may not work as efficiently
it is soloable to that point, but takes time. I can share checkpoint if you want
Sorry didn't see this, I'm down to take that checkpoint if you wanna DM me
Tested this in the Preservation Mission - it still works.
Edit: Don't really have the ability to wipe and go back easily since the doors close once you start the combat portion inside. Maybe someone can find a way.
Anyone have a raid checkpoint? I am a solo player.
it is soloable, but takes time with all the deaths. I have a checkpoint if you're online
It will be fairly easy tomorrow when contest mode is gone. I got to the first encounter yesterday with one other person, it just took a bit of time
The reset function is there in case the code entered its wrong, it resets all the switches to an unstarted state. If you get it right, the page walls lock until you wipe or reload the encounter.
Doing this tonight before it inevitably gets patched
Beware of the Bungie 'fun' police :D found stuff that's fun or makes life easier, patched.
The help is always in the comments.
I'm using Sagira's Shell with GENOTYPENULL-ZERO and a Siva Projection.
I wanna know what yall are using in this experience.
I am using the spectrum shell :) love it.
