How to get Europa armor and weapons in Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Europa is the place to be in the new Destiny 2 expansion Beyond Light, and it’s filled with new enemies, interesting locations, and (you guessed it) brand new loot to obtain. Specifically, there’s a brand new Europa-themed armor set for each class, as well as eight new Legendary weapons. Here’s a guide on how to obtain all of the new gear.
Wield the Darkness
Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Welcome to Europa, Guardian…
In Beyond Light, players will encounter a dark Fallen faction, travel to new locations, and go beyond the Light to wield the power of the Darkness.
These quests are simple to complete, as all you need to do is travel to various areas on Europa and unlock the Stasis-sealed chests within them (see above), which requires having your Stasis subclass equipped. They’re impossible to miss since they’re surrounded by a big blue shield and are on the beaten path; you’ll easily be able to spot them by just running through the areas as normal. Here are all the locations that you’ll need to run through:
- Nexus, Well of Infinitude (Helm)
- Riis-Reborn Approach, Technocrat’s Iron (Chestpiece)
- Bray Exoscience, Eternity (Arms)
- Bray Exoscience (Legs)
- Perdition (Class item)
Once you’ve opened all the chests in these areas, return to Variks, and he’ll give you the corresponding armor piece for each of the quests that you completed.

Currently, the Arctic Haze auto rifle and High Albedo sidearm are unobtainable, but we’ll update this article once we discover how to get them.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light how to farm Europa gear drops
A rather unique source of guaranteed Europa gear is the special Vex-themed puzzle in the Cadmus Ridge area, which requires you to kill an enemy called the Technorunner, steal his access codes, and drink inert Vex milk (gross) to access it. Make sure to check out our full guide to that puzzle here.
Finally, you can get pieces of Europa gear from random world drops while you’re on Europa, although these drops are incredibly rare. I managed to get the Subzero Salvo rocket launcher for completing a Public Event so far, but that’s it. Therefore, this farm isn’t consistent or reliable.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Windows 10 PCs. It costs $40 but is also available through Xbox Game Pass. If you’ve never tried out Destiny 2, I recommend doing so, as it’s easily one of the best Xbox One shooters.
