A new Destiny 2 exploit has been discovered that lets players farm infinite Legendary Shards through dismantling last year’s Guardian Games class items, earning Gunsmith XP in the process to increase their Reputation Rank with Banshee-44 as well. Players are advised to take advantage of the exploit as soon as possible before Bungie inevitably patches it out.
Destiny 2 Infinite Legendary Shards Exploit/Glitch:
The only pre-requisite for the exploit is that players must have unlocked the Guardian Games 2022 class items in the Collections tab, as the exploit will not work with items from previous years of Guardian Games. To utilize the exploit, do the following:
- Head into Collections > Armor > Events.
- Purchase the Guardian Games 2022 class item for your class for 777 Glimmer. This is the Medal Mantle for Hunters, the Medal Bond for Warlocks, and the Mark of the Medal for Titans.
- Navigate to the Character tab, and dismantle the corresponding Medal item. This will reward you with +6 Gunsmith Rank Progress, 4 Legendary Shards, 250 Glimmer, and occasionally the Finest Matterweave consumable as well.
- Given that Master Rahool in the Tower sells 10,000 Glimmer for 10 Legendary Shards, players can repeat the process an unlimited number of times: craft nine Medal items, dismantle them, purchase Glimmer to purchase Medal items, and so on. You also earn Gunsmith XP to increase your Reputation Rank with Banshee-44 in the process.

Keep in mind that Bungie will most likely patch the exploit out in the upcoming days, so make use of the exploit before it disappears. While you’re at it, check out the new Xur location and inventory and Trials of Osiris map and challenges for April 21 till April 28.
