Alright, let’s talk about chasing those Seals in Destiny 2. It’s one of those things in the game, you see other players running around with titles like Dredgen or Cursebreaker under their name, and you think, “Okay, I want one of those.” It looks cool, shows you put some time in.
Getting Started – Which Seal First?
So, I decided I’d actually try and earn one properly. Looking through the list, some seemed absolutely crazy, needing raid clears or flawless stuff I wasn’t ready for. I figured I’d start with something that felt achievable. Dredgen seemed like a good starting point for me. I spent a fair bit of time in Gambit anyway, might as well make it count for something more, right?
I opened up the Seal page under Triumphs, looked at all the little checkboxes for Dredgen. Okay, win matches, kill invaders, bank motes, reset Infamy rank… seemed straightforward enough on paper. The work began there. Just playing Gambit, match after match.
The Actual Grind – Doing the Work
This is where the real “practice” comes in. It wasn’t just playing; it was playing with a purpose.
- Focusing Objectives: Instead of just playing to win (which I still tried to do!), I started focusing on specific requirements. Need Guardian kills while invading? Okay, grab the heavy ammo, jump through the portal, and hope for the best. Need to summon Primevals? Gotta bank those motes fast.
- Dealing with RNG: Some triumphs were just about putting in the time. Others? Man, some relied on luck. Getting that specific weapon drop from Gambit took ages. Felt like the game knew I wanted it and just wouldn’t give it up. That’s Destiny for you sometimes.
- Repetition City: You do the same activities over and over. Strikes for Vanguard seals, Crucible for those ones, Gambit for Dredgen. It can get repetitive, no doubt. Sometimes I’d switch it up, work on a different Seal’s objectives for a bit just to break the monotony. Maybe hunt some collectibles for a destination Seal like Cursebreaker in the Dreaming City.
Hitting Roadblocks (and Getting Past Them)
It wasn’t always smooth sailing. There were triumphs that felt like hitting a brick wall. That one where you had to wipe the enemy team as an invader in Gambit? Took me forever. Lots of failed attempts, getting instantly melted as soon as I popped through the portal. Persistence is key. You just gotta keep trying, maybe change your loadout, hope for a slightly less sweaty enemy team.
Some Triumphs also needed specific events or rotations. Like for Cursebreaker, waiting for the right Ascendant Challenge or mission to be active. That meant checking back each week, planning around the game’s schedule.
That Sweet, Sweet Title Pop
I remember finally getting that last Gambit triumph needed for Dredgen. It was late, after maybe one too many matches, but seeing that Seal complete, getting the notification… it felt pretty damn good. A real sense of accomplishment. First thing I did was go into my character screen and equip that title. Seeing “Dredgen” under my name felt earned.
After the first one, it kinda clicks. You understand the process. I moved on to others. Worked on Cursebreaker, which involved a lot more exploring and secrets in the Dreaming City – a different kind of challenge. Then maybe a seasonal Seal, which is always a race against time before the season ends.
Wrapping Up The Seal Hunt
So yeah, getting Seals in Destiny 2 is a process. It takes time, dedication, sometimes a bit of luck, and definitely some grinding. You jump in, pick a target, look at what needs doing, and then you just… do it. Run the strikes, play the matches, hunt the things, week after week. It’s satisfying to complete them, gives you something to show for your time in the game. It’s a journey for sure, and each title tells a little story about the time you spent mastering a part of the game.
