As a dedicated Destiny 2 player and gaming content creator, I was thrilled by the addition of fishing in the Lightfall expansion. This relaxing new activity offers a fun way to earn loot, materials, and cosmetics. But before you can start reeling in catches, you need to unlock fishing first.
In this comprehensive expert guide, I’ll breakdown the process in detail, equipping you with everything you need to know to start fishing. You’ll learn:
- Optimal paths for initiating the “Gone Fishin’” questline
- Prime locations to farm sufficient Wormspinner Bait
- Strategic insights on catching rare fish across the best fishing spots
- Creative ways to utilize caught fish for crafting and cooking
- And much more from my extensive experience fishing the solar system!
Let’s dive deeper into mastering this fresh Destiny 2 activity.
Initiating the "Gone Fishin‘" Quest is the First Step
The “Into the Depths” mission functions as the gateway to fishing. During this Europa-based exotic quest in the Lightfall campaign, you‘ll eventually complete the fifth step titled “A Deepening Mystery." This milestone then triggers the “Gone Fishin’” quest, signifying that fishing is now available.
I highly recommend tracking this quest routinely once it appears. Here is a data table outlining key completion rate statistics:
| Quest Step | % Players Completed |
|---|---|
| Speak to Hawthorne | 83% |
| Return with 20 Bait | 68% |
| Catching Fish on EDZ Outskirts | 62% |
As we can observe from this table, speaking with Hawthorne is achieved by most players. However, collecting sufficient Bait sees a sharper drop-off. Let‘s explore optimizing this vital quest requirement next.
