Festival of the Lost 2020 has introduced a range of new Triumphs that you can try to complete. Three of them involve opening the caches you can find at the end of your haunted forest runs.
Each Triumph requires a different number of caches to open to complete it, and you will need an encryption decoder to open each cache. The number of caches for each Triump is as follows:
- Cache Grab - open 15 caches
- Cache Cow - open 30 caches
- Cache Galore - open 45 caches
Now for the bad news. At the moment, the drop rate from crypto decoders is extremely low. You can only get them by wearing a Festival of the Lost Mask which you can get from Eva, and you will need to complete in-game activities such as Crucible, Gambit, Matches, Strikes, Heroic Daily Missions, patrols and other similar activities. . Based on our testing, the dropout rate is low across the board.
So each block of 15 caches will require 3 runs in the Haunted Forest at around 15 minutes each, so it's not that bad. As long as you have 5 cipher decoders in your inventory when you enter the event, you can open five caches at the end. The big problem right now is getting those cipher decoders.
Bungie said on Reddit that they are studying the current drop rate of crypto decoders. Maybe it's just that we feel tired, but that hardly means anything as this is a repeated mistake that Bungie has made several times now. Adding layers of grind and RNG doesn't translate into a rewarding experience, and it looks like the game is going through some form of identity crisis as it wants to keep some of the gameplay free-to-play, with everyone. the grind and RNG that this entails, while charging high prices for extensions. Hopefully Bungie will do something about crypto decoders soon.
