Bonus drops are always good.
Hunting secret chests is almost a ritual in Destiny 2 dungeons, and Equilibrium continues this longstanding tradition. These containers drop dungeon loot once per character per week, giving you some extra drops on top of what you already get from encounters and feats.
There are two secret chests inside the Equilibrium dungeon: one is just after the first encounter and the other is between the second and third. They can drop any acquired item from the Equilibrium dungeon loot pool, be it weapons or armor. They seem to be affected by attunement, which you unlock after clearing the dungeon quest, The Way Between. They’ve almost given us too many copies of the Voltaic Shade scout rifle to count.
The two secret chests in Equilibrium don’t seem to have a weekly lockout, unlike the standard for Destiny 2‘s other dungeons upon release. You can reportedly grab prizes from them after clearing all three encounters, similar to the process of getting the Black Crystal for your Praxic Blade.
Here are the locations of the two secret chests in Destiny 2‘s Equilibrium dungeon.
First Equilibrium secret chest: after jumping across the ship

The first chest is between the first and second encounters, just after you jump across the gap and onto a different part of the ship. You’ll come out into an area walled off by red lasers. The secret chest is located between two spaceships above. Stick to the doorway just opposite the space chasm and look for the mounted turret on the right side of your crosshair.
Second Equilibrium secret chest: In the platforming puzzle inside the ship

After taking down Harrow, keep going until you get into another, bigger spaceship. Inside, you’ll reach an open area with a platforming puzzle, where you must grab the Shadow buffs, traverse the area, and hit buttons to advance. As soon as you come out into that area, look to your left to find this secret chest hidden behind some crates. It’s either the best- or the worst-kept secret, depending on your attention to detail.
