How to farm and use Splicer Key in Destiny Rise of Iron
Destiny’s latest expansion “Rise of Iron” brings many secrets for players to discover, and one of them is the purpose of Splicer Key. This new item can be used for different things – from looting chests to starting quests.
In this guide we’ll tell you how to how to get Splicer Keys and how to use them.
The best place for farming Brood enemies is in the Plaguelands patrol. Next to a spawn area you should see Brood Wizard, whose drop rate for the key is 100%. Anyone who makes any damage to the wizard will get the key. After that, go back to the orbit and repeat the process.
If you’re in a Fireteam while farming Brood Mother / Wizard / Knight, only one Guardian needs to shoot/kill it for everyone to get the reward. You can split and farm them on different locations at the same time, and all of you from the Fireteam will get the keys. (thanks QuicksandGM)
If you spawn in the particular spot in the patrol, and you don’t see the wizard, it means that someone else has already killed him. The respawn rate of the brood wizards is about 3 minutes.
