Destiny 2 first raid: how to find a Sherpa and not get kicked

Nexus Play GuidesSep 16, 2026 3 min readDestiny 2 hub

Objective

Tell the fireteam you're new, learn one role well and pick a team that is happy to teach.

4 steps · 3 min read

  1. 1

    Say you are new before the raid starts. A patient group that plans to teach beats a fast group that expects a clean run.

  2. 2

    Ask for one role and learn it fully. Trying to understand every mechanic at once is the fastest way to feel lost.

  3. 3

    Bring a recommended loadout and check it with the fireteam before the first encounter, not after the first wipe.

  4. 4

    Use voice chat if you can. Raid mechanics depend on quick callouts, and text chat is too slow mid-encounter.
