A Destiny 2 glitch has surfaced that makes farming T5 meta armor sets considerably less painful, and the community is already making the most of it. The game’s armor system has shifted a lot over time, and with set bonuses now playing a bigger role in builds, getting pieces with good stats from specific sets has become a priority for a lot of players.
Here is what the Destiny 2 glitch does and how to take advantage of it while it lasts.

How the Destiny 2 Glitch Helps You Farm T5 Meta Armor Sets
The discovery was shared by Destiny 2 player @valiendra_ on X, who stumbled onto something worth paying attention to. The glitch works like this: if you run Lost Sectors with a full engram inventory, the drops cannot land in your inventory and get sent to the postmaster instead. When you head to the Tower to collect them, those engrams do not decrypt into standard planetary armor. Instead, they decrypt into Smoke Jumper, Ferropotent, or Techsec armor pieces.
That is the part that matters. Getting T5 Meta Armor sets from a specific place normally requires running strikes repeatedly for Vanguard engrams, which is a slow grind. This method bypasses that entirely by routing drops through the postmaster and pulling them there instead.
Why T5 Meta Armor Sets specifically are worth farming in Destiny 2
This Destiny 2 glitch is particularly useful because Smoke Jumper and Ferropotent are both among the stronger armor set bonuses. Getting consistent access to T5 pieces from either of those sets through a relatively low-effort Lost Sector loop is a meaningful shortcut compared to the standard farming route.
The process does require some management. Visiting a social space like the Tower or the Enclave regularly to collect postmaster drops is necessary to avoid losing them when the postmaster fills up. It is not a completely hands-off method, but it is far more efficient than grinding ten strikes for a single vanguard engram.

What Bungie Has Said About the Destiny 2 Armor Farming Glitch
Bungie Comms Manager @A_dmg04 responded directly to @valiendra_’s post, confirming he accidentally triggered the glitch himself and that it will not be fixed, describing it as something that could yield good gear for dedicated grinders.
He also noted that a fix for the underlying rep system issue was in flight but the patch had been delayed, with the team set to communicate when possible.
