With the Destiny 2 Renegades release, a few new currencies have been added to the game, including Salvage, which now plays a small but noticeable role in overall progression.
Much like the other new currencies introduced in this update, Salvage is tied mostly to the Tharsis Bazaar and is used for specific purchases that help you advance through the new content.
Getting this currency is not that difficult, as players who regularly take part in activities in the Lawless Frontier can build up a good stock of Salvage over time.
Where To Get Salvage?
Salvage does not mainly come as a drop from activities, but instead as a currency you obtain by dismantling specific items.
Of course, you will want to take part in activities in the Lawless Frontier if you plan on getting your hands on Salvage, and eventually you will.
The Lawless Frontier provides you with plenty of equipment that can be dismantled from loot or activity rewards, allowing you to gather a steady amount of Salvage.
How To Farm Salvage?
Salvage is obtained by dismantling weapons and armor acquired from the Lawless Frontier, letting you convert items you don’t need into this useful currency.
To do this, open your inventory and dismantle the weapons or armor obtained from Lawless Frontier activities, and there will be a chance to receive Salvage.
Both weapons and armor can be dismantled for Salvage, but there is no guarantee that the currency will be obtained every time.
Salvage Uses
Salvage can be used to make certain purchases in the Tharsis Bazaar, providing players with a way to obtain certain gear with a chance of having better rolls.
There are two exchange options, Salvage Exchange for Armor and Salvage Exchange for Weapons, and both are located just south of the main bazaar area.
It is a good idea to save up Salvage until after obtaining the Renegades Gear Tier Upgrade from Spider, as this allows you to make the most of your currency.
This makes Salvage a good alternative currency for those who want a chance to get better gear, which may often happen from time to time.
Verdict
Salvage may not be the most important currency for every player, but it does have its uses and provides a way to get targeted gear.
It is a good idea to keep Salvage for later, as it can help you obtain specific weapons and armor that you may need, especially when your Ghost has Armorer Mods equipped.
Overall, Salvage acts as a helpful secondary resource that rewards players for engaging with the Lawless Frontier and gives an extra layer of flexibility when upgrading their loadout
