As the Revenant episode nears its conclusion in less than two weeks, Destiny 2 introduces an exciting event that allows players to acquire some impressive gear at a low cost.
This year’s event resembles the previous Riven’s Wishes, where players engage in quests to earn exclusive Bento Tokens. To get started, make sure to collect quests from the Drifter, as they not only confer tokens, but could also reward players with the highly sought-after Chatterwhite shader.
With your hard-earned tokens, a diverse range of items is available for purchase from Eris on the Moon. However, not all items in her inventory are worth your tokens, so we’ve compiled a ranking system to help you make better spending decisions.
11 Artifice Armor
Unsatisfactory Rolls
|
Cost |
2 Bento Tokens (per armor piece) |
|---|
Experienced players typically seek armor rolls featuring “spiky”stats with enhanced resilience across all classes. Moreover, pieces with aggregate stats below 65 tend to be ineffective for high-level build crafting.
Eris offers Artifice armor for 2 Bento Tokens each, including items like Biosphere Explorer (Titan), Hinterland (Hunter), and Ossuary (Warlock). However, farming Artifice armor from Dungeons is a more efficient use of your time, as Eris’s offerings are not worth your tokens.
The armor rolls available are subpar, and none meet the expected standards. Opt for spending your Bento Tokens on other items.
10 Riptide
Avoid Making Shaxx Jealous
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token |
|---|
It’s unclear why Eris offers the Riptide, but it does feature a decent roll with Compulsive Reloader and Chill Clip perks.
For redundancy, Tinasha’s Mastery serves as a Stasis rocket sidearm equipped with Chill Clip. Players can easily obtain a god roll (Air Trigger and Chill Clip) by achieving rank 4 in Iron Banner.
9 Spoils of Conquest
No Farming Necessary
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token for 25 Spoils |
|---|
Spoils of Conquest currency is obtainable by completing raid encounters and unlocking raid chests. The only instance where you might consider spending your Bento Tokens here is if you’re falling a bit short or lack the time to participate in raids—after all, adventuring with a full Fireteam is often a more enjoyable experience.
Moreover, there’s a solo method to accumulate Spoils of Conquest. You can utilize checkpoint bots to maintain raid and dungeon checkpoints, enabling easy access without needing to navigate previous challenges.
Note that you have limited purchases. You can buy Spoils three times, granting a total of 75 if you spend all your tokens.
8 Ascendant Alloy
Crucial Crafting Resource
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token for 2 Alloys |
|---|
Ascendant Alloys are essential materials used for enhancing weapon perks, allowing players to Masterwork their crafted or upgraded weapons.
While they can be purchased from Master Rahool at significant Glimmer costs (along with 10 Enhancement Prisms and 50,000 Glimmer), a more dependable source is through the Master version of The Wellspring activity.
Regular participants in endgame content can also encounter Ascendant Alloys as rare drops, enriching their crafting potential.
7 Ascendant Shard
The Complete Package
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token for 2 Shards |
|---|
Similar to Ascendant Alloys, Ascendant Shards are crucial materials for equipment upgrades. Specifically, Ascendant Shards are key for armor enhancements.
Often referred to as “golf balls”by the community, they can also be procured from Rahool for an equivalent price to the Ascendant Alloy.
Additionally, Ascendant Shards can be farmed from Grandmaster Nightfalls and challenging Pale Heart activities, creating more opportunities for improving your gear.
6 Exotic Ciphers
Acquire a Cipher
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token for 1 Cipher |
|---|
Exotic Ciphers are among the rarest resources, as they can be obtained only a limited number of times. They enable the acquisition of new exotic items or enhance exotic armor stats akin to Artifice armor.
Gain Exotic Ciphers by advancing through the Season Pass, resetting your rank with Xur, completing weekly Xur quests, or through rank resets with Master Rahool.
If you find yourself in urgent need of an Exotic Cipher, spending a Bento Token might be justified.
5 Mementos
Cosmetic Additions
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token for 1 Memento |
|---|
Mementos serve as unique items that can be applied to your weapons, granting them a distinctive shader, title, and activity tracker. Regardless of whether it’s Nightfalls, Trials, or seasonal events, these items significantly enhance your standing as a Guardian.
A limited selection is available for purchase from Eris:
- Gambit
- Nightfall
- Iron Banner
- Festival of the Lost
- Dawning
- Guardian Games
- Solstice
Prioritize buying these mementos if you’ve missed them from their respective events. Given that Festival of the Lost, Dawning, Guardian Games, and Solstice are annual occurrences and feature unique shaders, they should be among your top choices when spending your Bento Tokens.
4 Igneous Hammer (Adept)
Take Your Shot
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token |
|---|
The Igneous Hammer is a Solar 120 RPM hand cannon, exclusively attainable through Trials of Osiris, which might elude many players. It’s an essential purchase for anyone seeking a powerful PvP hand cannon.
This weapon features a predetermined roll with notable perks: Fragile Focus and Precision Instrument. A combination with a Range Masterwork enhances its threat level in the Crucible, allowing players to gain the upper hand in engagements.
This purchase is particularly worthwhile if participating in Trials is not on your agenda.
3 Horror’s Least (Adept)
Spring Into Action
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token |
|---|
The Horror’s Least is a 540 RPM Arc pulse rifle available exclusively through Grandmaster Nightfall completions. Given that GM weapon drops change on a weekly basis, buying this weapon can be a strategic move.
Equipped with Perpetual Motion and Kill Clip, this Adept version can be a formidable choice in PvP, supported by a Stability Masterwork.
Fully upgraded, it delivers impressive and consistent damage output.
2 Cloudstrike
A Great Day for Empire Hunt Detractors
|
Cost |
3 Bento Tokens |
|---|
Today is a significant day for those who dread completing Empire Hunts just to acquire this weapon. Speaking from experience, I’ve repeated Empire Hunts numerous times seeking Cloudstrike.
Secure this sniper rifle, especially if you wish to avoid the grind of Empire Hunts (which can be quite torturous) for a random drop.
Cloudstrike is an exceptional sniper rifle in PvP, capable of eliminating an enemy team with a single headshot, particularly if they group together. Additionally, it serves as an effective DPS tool during raid boss encounters.
1 Cataphract GL3 (Adept)
Don’t Overlook This GL
|
Cost |
1 Bento Token |
|---|
For a mere Bento Token, you can acquire one of the most effective DPS grenade launchers available. The Adept Cataphract GL3 is a Strand adaptive frame heavy grenade launcher, obtainable exclusively through Trials of Osiris.
This weapon comes with perks such as Envious Assassin and Bait and Switch, making it excellent for burst DPS during boss battles. Its origin trait, Alacrity, enhances reload speed, stability, handling, and aim assist for solo players.
This is an essential item if you aim to deal significant damage. It’s also worth noting that Banshee-44 is offering the VS Chill Inhibitor, another strong weapon with comparable perks. Acquiring both is advisable as they serve different damage purposes.
