With the arrival of the Season of the Worthy in Destiny 2, this article provides an updated guide on obtaining and using Bright Dust, which is one of two currencies used to buy cosmetics and other items not commonly found in-game. The other currency accepted by the Eververse store is Silver, which is purchased with real-world money, but Bright Dust only costs a player’s time and in-game effort. This guide covers how to farm the latter, so there’s no need to bust out that wallet.

Since the Eververse store releases items in a weekly rotation, it will greatly benefit you to be prepared with a stash of Bright Dust to spend when the store features an item you really want. Be aware that there are many items that will require Silver instead of Bright Dust, though Bungie has made a point to announce on some social avenues which Silver items will be released for Bright Dust in the future.

How to Get Bright Dust

Bright Dust can be obtained by completing the weekly and bonus bounties for Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit, which can all be procured in the Tower from Zavala, Shaxx, and the Drifter, respectively.

Players can grab two weekly bounties from each of these sources. Upon completion, weekly bounties will grant 200 Bright Dust each, for a total of 1200 Bright Dust weekly if all of these are completed.

From the same sources, players can also pick up bonus bounties granting 10 Bright Dust each. The amount of bonus bounties a player can grab is only limited to the amount of space in a player’s quest/bounty page.

To farm Bright Dust most efficiently, it helps to focus on one area at a time (either Vanguard, Crucible, or Gambit) by grabbing the two weekly bounties and as many bonus bounties as possible for that area. Often times, players will knock out multiple bounties at a time this way, where they can then head back to the Tower and restock, or move on to the next area for its corresponding weekly and bonus bounties.

Bright Dust can also be earned through Seasonal Event bounties (when a Seasonal Event is in place), by opening Eververse items, or by opening Engrams which contain cosmetic items. Many of these Engrams have to be decrypted.

One such Engram that can contain Bright Dust is the Bright Engram (like the Fond Memories Engram in Season 9) which players used to be able to purchase with Silver in the Eververse store to receive a random cosmetic. However, Bungie recently announced that Bright Engrams will no longer be sold in Season 10, though players can still earn them by leveling up through the free track of the Season Pass. Every item found in a Bright Engram can be dismantled for Bright Dust, the amount of which will vary based on the item received.
