Destiny 2 Sleeper Node Locations

Sleeper nodes are a type of collectible in Destiny 2. They’re floating pyraminds you’ll find scattered across Mars, and you’ll need to collect Override Frequencies to open them. You’ll encounter your first one long before you have the knowledge or the tools to open it. If you’re confused by the music boxes, or don’t know where to find them, our Destiny 2 sleeper node locations guide will help you.

How to get Override Frequency?

In order to get the first Override Frequency, you’ll have to complete the story campaign. Then you’ll have to finish the blue missions that appear on Mars – this will unlock the Nascent Dawn 1/5 pursuit. Finally, you’ll have to clear three patrols and a lost sector. This will grant you four Resonant Stems, which you can combine into an Override Frequency. Afterwards, you’ll be able to obtain more of them by looting high value target chests, doing patrols, public events and lost sectors. For more info on that, check out our guide on how to farm Destiny 2 Resonate Stems.

Each frequency is valid for one particular Sleeper Node. The description of the frequency will hint towards the location of the node. When you’re near it, you’ll start hearing faint music. It will grow louder as you approach the node, effectively leading you to it.

Descent Cavern Warsat & Descent Chasm Ledge

These two are both in the Olympus Descent area, in the south of the map. To get the first one, enter the cave from Glacial Drift and follow the tunnel until you reach the crashed warsat. Then jump down onto the ledge and follow it until you find the node. The second one is further down the tunnels, in the southwestern corner of the first open chamber.

Dynamo Approach Tree & Dynamo Approach Cavern

Trek through Dynamo Approach until you find the big stone arch. There’s a dead tree there, and the sleeper node is next to the icy cliff side. Next, head into the small ice cave connecting Dynamo Approach and Alton Dynamo. Walk until you come across the first wider section of the cave, with many icicles hanging from the ceiling. Stand in the middle of the room, and look southwards, up and to the right. You’ll spot the node above you, hidden among the icicles.

Eventually, you’ll enter a room with an Incendior right at the door. There’s a wall immediately left of the door that you can jetpack on. You’ll see the sleeper mode on a small ledge.
