How To Close Darkness Rifts Destiny 2

Okay, picture this: you're cruising around in Destiny 2, maybe admiring the scenery (when you're not being shot at, naturally). Suddenly, BAM! A big, swirling void of purple-y blackness pops up. Yep, you've found a Darkness Rift!

Now, these rifts aren't exactly friendly. They're like the cosmic equivalent of finding a forgotten, week-old tuna sandwich in your backpack. You want to get rid of them, fast.

Finding the Anomaly

First thing's first: finding the glowing floaty thing. Each rift spawns an Anomaly, and it’s usually hiding nearby. Think of it like a cosmic game of hide-and-seek.

Sometimes it's chilling behind a rock. Other times, it's hovering just out of reach, taunting you with its glow. The important thing is: keep your eyes peeled!

Once you spot the Anomaly, give it a good ol’ blast. Any weapon will do. Don't overthink it. Just point and shoot, like you're trying to win a stuffed animal at a carnival game.

The Chase Begins

Okay, you shot it! Congrats! Now, the fun really begins. Each Anomaly shot gives you a timed buff called Unstable Light.

With each Anomaly shot, your timer gets shorter and shorter. You only have so many seconds to repeat the process. It’s like a cosmic hot potato, but instead of getting burned, you... close a Darkness Rift?

The goal is to find and pop three Anomalies while that buff is active. This is a cosmic triathlon!

Don't panic if you miss one. Just keep an eye out and try again. Think of it as target practice with extra-dimensional consequences.

Closing Time!

Once you've nuked all three Anomalies while sporting the Unstable Light buff, it's closing time for the Darkness Rift! You have to make your way back to where the rift is.

If you're successful, the Darkness Rift goes *poof*. It's gone, vanished, sayonara! Give yourself a pat on the back.

Seriously, take a moment. You just wrestled with space-time and won. You deserve a cookie (or maybe a Legendary Engram).

Why Bother? (Besides Saving the Universe)

Okay, so why go through all this trouble? Well, aside from the obvious reason of, you know, preventing cosmic doom, there are rewards!

You'll often get glimmer, maybe some engrams, and definitely a feeling of accomplishment. Plus, you get bragging rights. You can tell your friends, "Oh, you know, just closed another Darkness Rift. No big deal." (But secretly, it IS a big deal!).

And remember, it's all about having fun! So, grab your favorite weapon, gather your fireteam, and go rift-busting. Who knows, you might even enjoy wrestling with the darkness a little.

Pro Tips for Rift-Busting Pros (and Aspiring Pros)

Movement is Key: Don't stand still. Keep moving. The Anomalies won't come to you (usually). Use those sweet Guardian abilities to get around quickly.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Coordinate with your fireteam. Have one person focus on finding Anomalies while others clear out enemies. It's like a well-oiled, darkness-banishing machine!

Don't Get Discouraged: Sometimes, those Anomalies are sneaky. Sometimes, you'll miss the timer. It happens! Just shake it off and try again. Persistence is key!

So, there you have it! Go forth and conquer those Darkness Rifts, Guardians! The universe (and your loot collection) will thank you.
