Destiny 2: Lightfall added three new Lost Sectors to the Legendary rotation. All of Neomuna's Lost Sectors are significantly longer than other destinations, featuring nearly 100+ enemies and pacing that mimics what you'd expect from a strike. This can make clearing these on Master a challenge, but it's far from impossible.
If you're looking for a challenge, Hydroponics Delta is for you. This is arguably the longest Lost Sector in the game, featuring multiple waves of Cabal enemies and a final boss arena that has minimal cover. This guide will showcase the safest way to clear this Lost Sector solo flawlessly. We'll cover everything from the best loadouts to optimal strategies to make your clear of Hydroponics Delta as smooth as possible.
Modifiers And Recommended Loadout
Hydroponics Delta is arguably the hardest Lost Sector in the game. It consists of over 100 enemies, half a dozen Champions, and a boss that has as much HP as some strike bosses. You'll need a good loadout and an even better strategy to beat this one. We do not recommend farming this Lost Sector for Exotics due to how long it is. Only run this if you're chasing solo flawless Triumphs.
Hydroponics Delta Modifiers
Recommended Loadout
Entrance
Entrance Enemies
- One Barrier Colossus
- One Unstoppable Incendior
- Gladiator
- War Beasts
- Phalanxes
- Psions
- Legionaries
You'll start the Lost Sector right next to a couple of Cabal Legionaries and an earshot away from a Cabal army. Kill the two Legion Soldiers and stick to spawn, picking off the ads one by one with your Primary. Attempting to speedrun this Lost Sector is suicide with the sheer number of enemies. You'll find the Barrier Champion at the opposite end of the room. You have a sightline on this Champion from spawn, so you can kill it from safety once the adds are slain. Clear out all the adds to unlock the next room, but be cautious while doing so.
The hallway toward the next room will be guarded by three Phalanx units and a small group of Legion soldiers, nothing a good Primary can't handle. Stick to the previous room for this part, ducking into the room when you start to get pushed. Killing the first few adds will spawn an Unstoppable Incendior on the right side of the hallway. Counter the Champion and quickly kill it using a Heavy weapon. War Beasts and a Gladiator will spawn shortly thereafter. A grenade or any AoE ability should clear the beasts out. For the Gladiator, keep your distance while damaging it with your Special weapon. Enter the next room when you're ready.
Maintenance Room
Maintenance Room Enemies
- One Barrier Colossus
- One Unstoppable Incendior
- Scorpius Turrets
- Gladiators
- Phalanxes
- Psions
- Legionaries
This room demands that you take it slow. Stick to the entryway and nearby boxes for most of this encounter. Pushing any closer will get you killed. You'll want to pick off the Psions on the walkway in front of you and the three Cabal turrets on the next walkway. This will spawn an Unstoppable Incendior to your right. We recommend stunning the Champion while you focus on the other adds. Destroy any backpack cells that drop to ensure the enemies are taking full damage.
After clearing the first pack of adds, a secondary group of enemies will spawn slightly further back. More adds make up this group. You can kill most of these enemies with your Primary from a safe distance. Backtrack into the previous hallway if the enemies start to push. A few Gladiators and War Beasts are part of this pack so be careful.
A final group of adds will spawn once you've slain most enemies. This group will spawn at the very back of the room, consisting of a Barrier Colossus and more fodder enemies. The Champion will attempt to jump onto the nearby walkway before melting you with its minigun. Try your best to stun this Champion to give yourself some breathing room. Kill the adds, finish the Champion, then make your way to the final boss arena.
Boss Arena
Boss Arena Enemies
- Two Unstoppable Incendiors
- Centurion Boss
- Gladiators
- Phalanxes
- Psions
- Legionaries
This boss arena is a meatgrinder if you aren't careful. Right as you drop into the arena, turn around and look at the nearby crates. You can climb up them to reach the vent you just came from. This acts as a safe vantage point that lets you pick off the adds from a safe distance, giving you some much-needed cover.
As for the room itself, you'll immediately be pushed by two Unstoppable Incendiors. Try to focus on killing one of them, stunning both before using your Heavy weapon to damage one of them. Some adds will spawn shortly afterward. Jump up into the vent for some cover. Kill the adds, then drop down to slay the final Champion. Hop back up into the vent, kill the adds, then drop down to damage the boss. You'll want to repeat this process until you've slain the boss. The boss itself won't move to the vent, but the adds will. Keep luring enemies to you, take out all the Cabal, then open the chest when the coast is clear.
