Destiny 2 players can now enjoy a relaxing activity amidst the game's intense storyline by going fishing. While the mysteries surrounding the Witness and the Traveler remain unsolved, players can take a break from their weapons and equip themselves with bait and a fishing rod. Season 21, also known as the Season of the Deep, offers players the opportunity to fish in three different locations, including Savathun's Throne World, Nessus, and the EDZ. These locations are filled with various types of fish, including 10 Legendary and 4 Exotic fish, making the activity all the more enjoyable.
14 Kheprian Axehead
To increase your chances of catching Exotic fish in Destiny 2, unlocking Focused Fishing is key. When the meter is full, all Guardians at the fishing pool will have access to higher quality fish, increasing the likelihood of catching an Exotic fish like the Kheprian Axehead. This particular fish is incredibly rare and can be exchanged for an Exotic reward at the HELM, making it a prized catch for any Guardian.
13 Aeonian Alpha-Betta
The Aeonian Alpha-Betta is a prized catch for any Destiny 2 player, due to its exotic rarity. This stunning fish boasts a colorful and tropical appearance, with intricate patterns and impressively large fins that dwarf its body.
11 Vexing Placoderm
The Whispering Mothcarp in the game bears an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Dopefish from DOOM Eternal. Its distinctive features include wide and piercing orange eyes that seem to look right through you, and vibrant green skin.
This Exotic fish is not only visually striking, but also one of the largest and rarest in the game. Despite its elusive nature, players are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to add the Whispering Mothcarp to their aquariums as it is sure to steal the show.
A victim of the Vex's influence, the Vexing Placoderm displays a unique infested head, likely a result of exposure to Vex radiolaria or experimentation. The altered appearance of its face serves as a striking example of the power the Vex hold over nature and the potential consequences of their meddling.
10 Drangelfish (Baroque)
9 Salvager’s Salmon
The Drangelfish Baroque, with its vibrant pink and yellow tropical colors, is a coveted catch found solely in the EDZ. Like most Legendary fish, it's not an easy catch, and anglers must venture to the Outskirts of the EDZ to find the perfect fishing spot.
What makes the Drangelfish Baroque even more intriguing is that it may not even be a real fish. Its name shares similarities with the Eliksni 'Drang' enemy type, leading some to speculate that it may have been created from spilled Ether. The mystery surrounding this fish only adds to its allure.
Salvager's Salmon can be found in both the EDZ and Savathun's Throne World, offering players a unique catch. Despite its mysterious origins, this delicious fish is perfect for sushi lovers, although it may come with a slight risk given its origin in The Witch Queen's realm. The Salmon's striking features include its scaly orange skin and impressive size, reminiscent of a time before the Darkness and other threats that plague Destiny 2's world.
8 Gnawing Hun Gar
7 No Turning Jack
Fish for the elusive Gnawing Hun Gar exclusively on the Throne World. Named after the legendary Destiny 2 Auto Rifle, Gnawing Hunger, this fish is a nod to the beloved weapon that has yet to make a return to the loot pool. It's unclear how the fish received its moniker or why it's found in the Throne World, but catching it may just bring luck in obtaining the coveted auto rifle.
The elusive No Turning Jack fish can exclusively be found in the waters of Nessus, but beware of hostile Vex and Cabal forces lurking nearby. This legendary fish pays homage to the popular Combat Bow weapon, No Turning Back, which was among the most sought-after bows during Destiny 2's Forsaken era. While not the most powerful weapon in the game, it's always a treat to see references to beloved weapons like the No Turning Back.
6 Cod Duello
The Cod Duello, an exclusive fish found only in Nessus, boasts a striking green hue and an intriguing backstory. Despite swimming in the electrified vex milk pools that surround the planet, this species has managed to evade assimilation by the Vex. While its origins remain a mystery, the Cod Duello's name alone is enough to captivate Destiny 2 players. This legendary fish shares its moniker with a powerful Rocket Launcher introduced in Season 13's Season of the Chosen. Once revered as one of the best weapons in the game, the Code Duello now lives on as a beloved creature of Nessus.
5 Temptation’s Haddock
The revered Temptation's Haddock fish has found its ultimate homage in Temptation's Hook, a Season of Arrivals sword that once reigned supreme as a mighty Power Weapon in PvE gameplay. While those glory days have long since passed, the Temptation's Haddock remains a prized catch, available exclusively on Nessus. For patient Guardian fishers, the rewards of Triumphs and loot await.
4 Ignition Toad
The Ignition Toad can be found in Nessus and the Throne World, and is a visually stunning creature that stands out from the typical fish found in the game. It's refreshing to see a toad featured in Destiny 2, especially since these amphibians have gained a peculiar following on the internet. Interestingly enough, the name of the Ignition Toad is a clever nod to the Ignition Code Grenade Launcher, which was introduced during the Season of the Splicer and is now only obtainable through seasonal activities.
3 Deafening Whisker
Hoping for a stroke of luck from the RNG gods, players scouring all the Throne Worlds for fish must keep an eye out for the elusive Deafening Whisker. This fish is named after the Deafening Whisper Grenade Launcher from Season of the Hunt, which is sadly unattainable. However, the Deafening Whisker can still be caught by determined players.
2 Servant Lobster
The Servant Lobster is a rare crustacean that can be found both on the EDZ and in the Throne World. Its distinctive appearance boasts glowing green legs and claws, reminiscent of the Hive. Interestingly, the Servant Lobster shares its name with the Servant Leader Scout Rifle from the previous Season of the Lost, a nod that players may find familiar.
