Destiny 2 Revenant Event: Eris's Bento Token Shop - What's Actually Worth Buying?

Episode Revenant Bento Token exchange lets Guardians claim exclusive gear and rewards. Discover top picks and avoid wasting tokens!

With Episode Revenant wrapping up soon, Guardians have a golden opportunity to snag exclusive gear through Eris Morn's limited-time Bento Token exchange! Just like last year's Riven's Wishes, players earn tokens by completing quests from the Drifter, who also generously hands out the beloved Chatterwhite shader. But here's the rub: not everything in Eris's lunar inventory deserves your hard-earned tokens. Let's break down every item, ranking them from 'hard pass' to 'must-grab' so you don't end up crying into your Ghost shell. 🥲💀

11. Artifice Armor: A Stat Roll Disaster

• Cost: 2 Bento Tokens per piece

• Verdict: AVOID LIKE A TAKEN BLIGHT

High-level build-crafting demands "spiky" stat distributions and high Resilience, regardless of class. Armor below 65 total stats? Practically vault filler. Eris sells Biosphere Explorer (Titan), Hinterland (Hunter), and Ossuary (Warlock) Artifice pieces, but these rolls are as disappointing as a public event chest dropping blues. Farming Dungeons for Artifice gear is infinitely better. These pieces are a soggy sandwich of stats—none have worthwhile distributions. Spend your tokens literally anywhere else.

10. Riptide: Shaxx's Leftovers

• Cost: 1 Bento Token

• Verdict: SKIP IT

The roll (Compulsive Reloader/Chill Clip) is decent, but why buy it here? You can focus Riptide directly from Shaxx for just two Crucible engrams! Stasis fusion alternatives like Deliverance (Vow raid) exist, and the real kicker? Tinasha's Mastery, a Stasis rocket sidearm (yes, really!), rolls with Chill Clip. Snagging its god roll (Air Trigger + Chill Clip) is as easy as hitting Rank 4 in Iron Banner. This Riptide offer is redundant as a second jump in zero-G.

9. Spoils of Conquest: The Lazy Raider's Crutch

• Cost: 1 Token for 25 Spoils

• Verdict: NICHE PURCHASE

Only buy these if you're desperately short a few for a raid kiosk purchase and lack time to raid. Remember, raiding with a Fireteam is peak Destiny fun! Plus, solo players can farm Spoils using checkpoint bots for raids/dungeons. Eris also caps purchases at 3 bundles (75 total Spoils). Unless you're on the brink of that coveted raid Exotic, save your tokens.

8. Ascendant Alloy: Weapon Crafter's Fuel

• Cost: 1 Token for 2 Alloys

• Verdict: SOLID IF YOU'RE LOW

Essential for upgrading Enhanced Perks on crafted weapons. While Master Rahool sells them (cost: 10 Prisms + 50K Glimmer), and Master Wellspring is a reliable source, this bundle offers good value if you're actively crafting. Endgame activities drop them too, but if your crafting bench is hungry, 2 Alloys for 1 Token is a fair deal.

7. Ascendant Shard: The Coveted "Golf Ball"

• Cost: 1 Token for 2 Shards

• Verdict: GREAT VALUE

Crucial for Masterworking armor! Rahool charges the same exorbitant price (Prisms + Glimmer) as for Alloys. Farming Grandmaster Nightfalls or high-tier Pale Heart activities (Campaign co-op, Excision) is the usual method. Getting TWO "golf balls" for a single token is like finding a legendary engram in a lost sector chest – surprisingly efficient! Highly recommended if you're pushing multiple builds.

6. Exotic Cipher: The Golden Ticket

• Cost: 1 Token for 1 Cipher

• Verdict: WORTH IT IF PINCHED

The rarest material! Used to buy Monument of Lost Light Exotics or add Artifice-like stat boosts to Exotic armor. Earned sparingly via Season Pass, Xur rank resets, or Rahool. If you're staring longingly at the Monument or need that perfect stat boost now, this purchase is justified. Otherwise, grind Xur's weekly quest.

5. Mementos: Flexing Rights

• Cost: 1 Token for 1 Memento

• Verdict: COSMETIC PRIORITY

Add unique shaders, titles, and trackers to crafted weapons. Eris sells:

Available Mementos
Gambit
Nightfall
Iron Banner
Festival of the Lost
Dawning
Guardian Games
Solstice

The annual event mementos (bolded) are TOP TIER purchases. Their shaders are often 🔥 and you only get one chance per year! If you missed FoTL's spooky shader or Solstice's glow, grab them here. Flexing rights secured!

4. Igneous Hammer (Adept): Trials Terror, Minus the Trials

• Cost: 1 Bento Token

• Verdict: PVP MUST-BUY

A solar 120 RPM hand cannon normally locked behind Trials of Osiris. This curated roll is Fragile Focus + Precision Instrument with a Range Masterwork – a Crucible monster! It hits like a freight train disguised as a peashooter. If Trials isn't your vibe, this token bypasses the sweat-fest. Essential for any Hand Cannon enthusiast.

3. Horror's Least (Adept): GM Nightfall Power, On Demand

• Cost: 1 Bento Token

• Verdict: STRONG PICK

This 540 RPM Arc pulse rifle typically demands Grandmaster Nightfall completions. With GM weapon rotations, you might wait ages for it! The roll (Perpetual Motion + Kill Clip + Stability MW) is a PvP laser beam. Skipping the GM grind for this beast is like teleporting past a swamp filled with screebs – efficient and safe. Highly recommended.

2. Cloudstrike: End Your Empire Hunt Nightmare

• Cost: 3 Bento Tokens

• Verdict: ABSOLUTE STEAL

Rejoice, Empire Hunt haters! This exotic sniper rifle's random drop farm is torture (dozens of runs, anyone?). Paying 3 tokens is a bargain to escape that grind. Cloudstrike is legendary: a PvP team-wiper on a precision kill (enemies bunched = 💥) and a solid raid DPS option. Skipping this is like refusing a free Sparrow in a walking simulator. GET. IT.

Final Token Spending Strategy:

1. 🔥 Top Priority: Cloudstrike (3 tokens), Igneous Hammer (1), Horror's Least (1), Annual Event Mementos (1 each).

2. 🟡 Good Value: Ascendant Shards (1 token for 2), Exotic Cipher (if needed), Ascendant Alloy (if crafting).

3. 🚫 Avoid: Artifice Armor, Riptide, Spoils (unless desperate).

Don't let Episode Revenant end with token-buyer's remorse! Spend wisely, Guardian, and may your loot be worthy! 💪✨
