In our guide to the Pirate crew upgrades in Destiny 2 you experience:
- How you get reputation
- Which upgrades are really worthwhile
How do I unlock new pirate crew upgrades?
To unlock the pirate crew upgrades you need reputation. You can earn these every week by completing seasonal challenges. In week 1, for example, these are the two challenges “Successful Expedition” and “Antiquarian 1”. We’ll tell you how to solve the latter challenge in our Destiny 2 Relic Guide.
The best pirate crew upgrades
You only have a limited amount of reputation available each week, so it is important that you have the optimal upgrades unlocked. Towards the end of the season, you can earn enough reputation to get all upgrades.
In the three categories, we particularly recommend the to focus on the following upgrades:

- “Double Looted Umbral Energy” card: Unlocks the treasure map of the same name in the Captain’s Atlas, giving you double Umbral Energy at the end of an expedition.
- Bargain armor loot: The first Season of Plunder armor you decode from an Umbral Engram each week costs no Umbral Energy.
