This extensive guide will go over everything you need to know about fishing and completing the Fishing Report in Destiny 2. We’ll cover fishing gear, fish types, bait, rewards and a Fishing FAQ. Time to master this new hobby for fun loot and triumphs!
Getting Started: Fishing Gear and Mechanics
To start fishing, visit Finch in the H.E.L.M. and grab the Captain Ahab 900 legendary sword. Equipping this sword enables fishing mechanics when standing near water.
Cast your line with the heavy attack button and wait for controller rumble indicating a fish on the line. Then reel in your catch with repeated heavy attacks!
There are 10 fish types that can be caught across 8 destinations. Each fish has a rarity level from Common to Epic determining its catch rate. Rarer fish require more skill to catch.
Using Bait and Location Guides
You can purchase bait from Finch to help catch rarer fish, including:
- Breadcrumbs – Basic bait
- Small Fry Bait – Uncommon bait
- Secret Sauce – Rare bait
- Nightcrawler – Epic bait
Each bait type increases chances of catching higher rarity fish. Refer to location guides to learn the best spots and bait for each fish species.
