In Destiny 2, a new quest is now live – The Lie. The final reward is the legendary shotgun Felwinter’s Lie – an iconic returner from Destiny 1. We show you what the complete quest for this weapon looks like and what the new Felwinter’s Lie is all about.
New quest is live: The ongoing Season 10 has exhausted its roadmap content and other communicated content with the end of the Guardian Games. However, with the weekly reset on May 12, a new quest – The Lie – surprisingly went live in Destiny 2. The leaks have proven true.
This quest has already sparked plenty of discussions. The first step turned out to be a community event with brutal requirements – and not every Guardian was pleased about that. You can read more about it here: Destiny 2: New quest starts so annoyingly that hardly anyone wants to play it right now
Bungie reacted quickly and made this quest step slightly easier. After that, a bug caused issues for players, preventing progress at the final step.
However, Bungie has since fixed that – with Update 2.8.1.3, the quest is now completely playable without issues.
But what can players expect after the controversial first step? How does the quest continue? And what’s the effort for? You will now find out here.
The Lie – Here’s how the quest goes
Getting “The Lie” quest: The quest is available from Ana Bray on Mars. Visit the Braytech Futurescape area and just talk to her.
Step 1 – Warmind Evaluation: The Warmind Rasputin, our (hopefully) ally in the fight against the falling power and the darkness, wants to get a better picture of the Guardians. Therefore, we are to help him build a defense network.
As a community, we needed to achieve 9 million public event completions by Guardians at three locations – each with 3 million events in:
- the EDZ on Earth
- on the Moon
- on Io.
Each Guardian in a successfully completed event counts as a completion. So if 5 Guardians complete an event, that’s counted as 5 completions.
By the way, “normal public events” do not count towards progress. Guardians must complete the Seraph Tower events from Season 10 for this. Bungie clarified this on Twitter after an unclear description initially caused a lot of confusion among players.
This step has been successfully completed by the community, so you no longer need to struggle. If you haven’t completed it yet, it will be automatically done for you when you speak with Ana.
Step 2 – One of Many: Once the evaluation by Rasputin has been successfully accomplished through community efforts, you simply need to return to Ana in this step.
Step 3 – Vostok: In this step, you will receive coordinates from the Warmind Rasputin and are to investigate energy anomalies in a mission on the Crucible map Vostok. Where exactly, you can see here in this video by Esoterickk:
Although Vostok is a PvP map in Destiny 2 set in the Iron Temple, a sanctuary of the Iron Lords, you will not need to fight there as part of the “Secrets of a Warmind” mission. You just need to scan the energy signatures. During this, there are some interesting lore tidbits to hear.
Step 4 – Shotgun Telemetry: In this step, you need to achieve shotgun kills in the Crucible or throughout the system. Here Destiny 2 gives you the choice again whether you prefer to complete the task in PvP or PvE.
This step requires you to kill 1,000 enemies. That has now been confirmed. Defeated Guardians contribute more to progress than AI enemies. A killed enemy controlled by the computer counts as 1 kill, while a defeated Guardian counts as 6.
By the way, if you don’t want to collect kills through PvP, try one of these 5 locations: These are the best 5 farm spots in Destiny 2 for quick kills in PvE
Step 5 – Moon Trip: Now Rasputin has apparently seen enough. After carefully tracking your progress, he wants to speak to you in the Seraph Bunker on the Moon.
Step 6 – Warmind Heuristic: In the last step, you are to investigate one of Rasputin’s best-kept secrets. This step was initially unplayable due to the bug, but it now works perfectly.
For this, you need to investigate the bunker on the Moon. For spoiler reasons, we don’t want to say too much here. However, you will not have to fight in the course of this mission “The Tyrant”, but can look forward to some exciting lore.
The Reward of “The Lie” – Felwinter’s Lie
This is the reward for “The Lie”: Based on datamining findings, it was pretty much established: In the end, you will receive the legendary shotgun Felwinter’s Lie – a returner from Destiny 1 and once one of the most powerful weapons of the first installment.
This was quickly confirmed officially after the final step was finally mastered by the Guardians.
What makes Felwinter’s Lie in Destiny 2 special? By now, not only the leaked ornament but also the weapon itself is in the game. Here are its stats at a glance:
The new shotgun comes as a level 10 masterpiece in range, with solar damage and fixed rolls in the following configuration:
- Intrinsic perk Shot Package: Modified shotgun with an aggressive frame for a more even spread of pellets
- Full Choke: Choked barrel. Reduces projectile spread while aiming down sights at the cost of precision damage
- Enhanced Rounds: The weapon fires at greater distances
Additionally, you have a choice between 2 perks in 2 slots:
- Slot 1:
- Sliding: When sliding, the weapon magazine is partially reloaded, and range and stability are temporarily improved
- Quickdraw: This weapon can be drawn incredibly fast
- Slot 2:
- First Shot: Improved precision and range on the first shot of an attack
- Vorpal Weapon: Increased damage against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with active super
Before its nerf, Felwinter’s Lie was among the best and most notorious weapons in Destiny 1 PvP. What the weapon is capable of in Destiny 2 can be found out here: Felwinter’s Lie in the Test – How strong is the new shotgun
