Festival of the Lost is in full swing in Destiny 2. If you're looking to farm candy fast, then we've got you covered.

Candy is a very valuable currency, as it will allow you to grind for all the goodies available during the event. Some of these include the brand-new Arcane Embrace shotgun.

So, if you're pressed for time we'll break down the best way to earn candy fast during Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2. While you're here, check out our full Power Level guide for Episode: Revenant.

Fastest way to farm candy in Destiny 2

While you may think that doing lengthy activities might give you the best rewards, that's not actually true. The most efficient way of grinding for candy is by completing public events.

Particularly, heroic public events will hand out 185 pieces of candy per completion. Guardians usually prefer public events as they are extremely fast to complete, more so compared to strikes or other activities.

Specifically, try doing the public events from the European Dead Zone, as these are the shortest and easiest to complete, even in heroic.

Another recommendation is that don't burn yourself out by playing a single activity. While public events are definitely the fastest way to earn candy in Destiny 2, you might want to mix up what content you tackle.

For instance, a run of Altars of Sorrow will hand out almost 300 pieces of candy, making it a more fun method albeit slower. Also, don't forget bounties to maximize your grind time.

If you want to run a few strikes then by all means, as you'll also get somewhere between 300 to 400 per completion. As you can see, candy will not be hard to come by.

And that's pretty much all you need to know. If you want more content, check out how to get the Twilight triumph before it's too late.
