Destiny 2 LFG Guide: Find Raid Teams With Fireteam Finder

Most Destiny 2 endgame content is matchmade or soloable, but raids, Grandmasters, and high-level dungeons still need a group. The game now has its own tool for this, and it works better than most players realize.

Use the in-game Fireteam Finder first

Open the roster screen and launch the Fireteam Finder. It lives in the game, so you are not alt-tabbing to a browser. Pick your activity, set your language, and either browse open listings or post your own.

Listing details matter. Say the activity, whether it is a learning run or a clear, and what you expect from teammates. Vague posts get ignored. A post that reads “Grandmaster, learning, have mods” gets answers.

What the lingo means

A few terms show up constantly in listings:

• Sherpa: an experienced player who teaches the fight instead of speed-running it.
• KP: kill proof, a badge or emblem that proves you have cleared an activity before.
• Learning run: the team expects wipes and will teach mechanics.
• Fresh: no one has cleared it this week yet, usually for loot reasons.

If you are new, ask for a sherpa or a learning run. Most veterans are happy to bring one new player along. Claiming experience you do not have is how you get kicked mid-encounter.

External options

The in-game tool covers most needs, but external sites still help for scheduled events. The Bungie.net forums, the100.io, and raid-focused Discord servers run weekly teaching nights. These are best for learning specific raids with the same group each week.

Writing a post that works

1. Name the exact activity and difficulty.
2. Say whether it is a clear or a learning run.
3. List what you bring: Power, champion mods, key exotics.
4. Set expectations on time. “Two hours, no rage” is enough.

Red flags

• Posts demanding absurd Power for content below the cap.
• Teams that kick the first person who wipes on a learning run.
• Anyone asking for your account login. No legitimate group needs it.

LFG posts that get you ignored

• Posting “any activity” with no details.
• Joining a group whose Power requirement you cannot meet.
• Skipping the Fireteam Finder and begging in global chat instead.

If you would rather not post at all, joining an active clan does the same job; the raid preparation notes are what a group will expect from you once you are in.
