While most players have their own go-to Glimmer farming spots, one of the best we’ve seen is on Mars. What players need to do is load up the ‘Exclusion Zone’ mission with the “Heroic” modifier turned on. We’d recommend just picking level 18, as the enemies can become a nuisance due to their numbers, but those who do go higher will be rewarded with more XP for armor and weapons. They won’t be rewarded with any more glimmer, though.
After loading up the level, players need to head through the very first section by opening the door down into the installation, and then activating the terminal for Sparrow Link. Once they've done that a big door in front of them will open, revealing a drop ship and a large group of Cabal. Players will want to clear these enemies out, and then move onto the second group of enemies, which will include about 7 or 8 Cabal Majors. These are the money-makers, or in this case Glimmer-makers.
This is where things obviously get grind-y, but what players want to do is use a Resupply Code – a Destiny consumable that increases Glimmer gains on Cabal kills – and run through this short section as many times as they can in 10 minutes. The only key is that they must not kill all of the enemies, as doing so will trigger a checkpoint. Rather, players will want to make sure at least one Cabal is left alive and either let it kill them or kill themselves. Then lather, rinse, and repeat.
Depending on how quickly players can kill the Cabal, they should be able to generate a few thousand Glimmer, at minimum. Not only will every Cabal kill give them Glimmer, but each Major has a chance of dropping either a Resupply Code or a Network Key as well. These Network Keys can be exchanged for 200 Glimmer at the Cryptarch, so it’s important to keep an eye out for them after every Cabal Major kill. Once the Resupply Code’s effect has worn off, use another one (players should get at least one during this run).
-----------------------
It’s just important to remember the key steps:
Use a Resupply Code
Kill every Cabal but one
Check for Network Keys
Trigger respawn with death
