The new expansion pack/DLC Destiny Rise of Iron introduces plenty of new things. And one of these things is Splicer Key. Players can use Splicer Keys in different ways like looting chests or unlocking paths blocked by lasers. One important thing worth mentioning is that players can only hold 40 Splicer Keys; 10 for each character and 10 in the vault.

In How to Farm Splicer Keys in Destiny Rise of Iron guide we will show you how players can get and farm Splicer Keys and how they can use Splicer Keys in Destiny Rise of Iron. The best place for players to easily farm Splicer Keys is the plaguelands.

How to Farm Splicer Keys in Destiny Rise of Iron:

The best way to get plenty of Splicer Keys is by killing Brood enemies. There are various Brood enemies but you should look for Wizards, Mothers and Knights. These brood enemies have yellow health bars so it will be pretty easy to spot one. Another thing that you should keep in mind is that completing all the story missions will also increase your chances of finding Splicer Keys.

Now the question is where on the map you should look for these yellow bar brood enemies to farm Splicer Keys. The best area is Plaguelands. When you spawn in the Plaguelands, there will be a Brood Wizard and he will 100% drop Splicer Key. You can easily repeat this process by going back to orbit and then again spawning in the plaguelands.


If you’re a part of the Fireteam, if only one Guardian kill/shoot the Brood enemy, everyone in the team will get the Splicer Key. If you want to increase your chances, then you can split up and farm Splicer Keys on different locations simultaneously, and all of you will get the keys. The respawn rate for the brood enemies is about 3 minutes.
