How to find the Destiny 2 loot cave Easter egg in the Cosmodrome
Where to find the Destiny 2 loot cave
The Destiny 2 loot cave Easter egg found in the reprised Cosmodrome is a nice call-back to the original game's legendary grinding spot. The loot cave Easter egg, which was actually added to the Skywatch spot in Destiny 1, was brought into Destiny 2 when the Cosmodrome arrived with Destiny 2 Beyond Light. Players that interact with the Easter egg can hear a haunting message about a certain Cryptarch found at the Tower, and the loot cave has even been expanded into its own endgame Dungeon too! Here are all the details you need to find the Destiny 2 loot cave Easter egg in the Cosmodrome so you can pretend it's 2014 again.
Destiny 2 loot cave Easter egg location

Thankfully, those are all issues of the past and Destiny 2 has abundant Legendary gear for players to chase.
With the Destiny 2 Bungie 30th Anniversary pack, an entire endgame Dungeon themed around the infamous loot cave was added. Grasp of Avarice sees players ploughing through Hive at the Cosmodrome loot cave to collect exploding decoy engrams - just like old times (kind of). Players will then delve into the mysterious depths of the Cosmodrome on an elaborate treasure hunt and on the trail of a Guardian driven to madness by their obsession with loot. Most importantly, this Dungeon is also crucial to getting the Destiny 2 Gjallarhorn Exotic Rocket Launcher and its Exotic Catalyst,
