Destiny 2 has received the new quest weapon “Null Composer” in Season 14. Read here how to quickly master the quest Sacred Fusion and whether the new fusion rifle can keep up with the legendary Question of Fate.
About this weapon: The fusion rifle Null Composer is a new legendary weapon from Season 14. It is the only quest weapon in the season of the Splicer.
- Quest weapons can be earned through a specific quest.
- The fusion rifle has predetermined perks and properties from which you select the best combination – a Bungie curated God-Roll.
Thus, Null Composer inherits the legacy of the popular top-tier fusion rifle Question of Fate. MeinMMO clarifies in this article how strong the new quest weapon is and how to complete the quest “Sacred Fusion” in record time.
The quest “Sacred Fusion” gives you the choice
How to obtain Null Composer: Visit weaponsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower. You will receive the quest “Sacred Fusion” from the robot vendor. The unique aspect of this questline is that you can complete it in all three core activities.
You receive quest progress
- In Strikes (PvE)
- In Gambit (PvEvP)
- In the Crucible (PvP)
Why this is good: Thus, the quest takes the same path as the quest weapon from the previous Season 13: Plünderer-Salve. You are not tied to any specific activity but can play what suits you.
- This is excellent for the start of a season, as playing various activities can also quickly boost your power level.
- Remember to equip the appropriate “Wealth perk” on your ghost to obtain additional activity-specific weapons.
What does the quest want? To obtain Null Composer from “Sacred Fusion,” you must achieve two objectives. You can tackle both tasks in parallel or sequentially.
- Collect 8,500 points: You earn points for every kill in Strikes, Crucible, and Gambit matches. If you use a fusion rifle, Suppression, or Solar damage and additionally the Stasis focus, you earn significantly more points per kill.
- Complete matches: You earn about 3% for each completed core activity. If you play harder Nightfall Strikes or win in Crucible and Gambit matches, you earn about 5%. Once you reach 100%, this task is complete.
Quickly obtain Null Composer in Season 14
How to quickly get 8,500 points: You should fully focus on a fusion rifle loadout. Equip a fusion rifle as your special weapon and as your power weapon. Ideally, ensure that your weapons deal Solar damage.
- Cartesian Coordinates: The legendary fusion rifle with Solar damage drops randomly as a World Drop
- Ternary System: The legendary fusion rifle with Solar damage can be obtained after Gambit matches
- Thousand Voices: The exotic Solar fusion rifle for the power slot is obtained in the raid “Last Wish”
The fastest way to earn points is by using 2 Solar fusion rifles in combination with the Stasis focus.
It is also important to pack the right mods.
- Fusion Rifle Ammo Finder costs 2 energy and is equipped in the helm
- Fusion Rifle Loader costs 3 energy and is equipped in the gloves
- Enhanced Reserves for fusion rifles costs 2 energy and fits in the chest armor
- Fusion Rifle Plunderer costs 2 energy and belongs in the boots
- Additionally, you can use the Arc mod “Rapid Reload” to charge up with kills using fusion rifles with Light and further increase reload speed
Quickly get kills: To farm the necessary kills quickly, it is advisable to rampage in Strikes. Here you will often find ammunition and a bunch of weak enemies. With the loadout described above, you will accumulate points for kills significantly faster than the required activities.
These activities go fastest: Strikes give you many points but are usually much longer than the other two options. We recommend Gambit matches. They are quick (5-10 minutes) and if desired, you can also get plenty of kills here.
Alternatively, the Crucible is currently a good option at the start of the season. From May 11 to May 18, the Team Scorched mode is active. The rounds in this fun mode end very quickly, and you don’t need to be a good PvP player. Additionally, the only weapon that all can use is a Solar cannon – equip the Stasis focus and earn even more points.
Obtain all 3 ornaments for the quest weapon
Once you have mastered the quest “Sacred Fusion” and Banshee-44 has handed you Null Composer, you can visually customize the weapon and unlock ornaments. You now have access to 3 additional quests.
- Zavala sends you into Nightfall Strikes
- The Drifter wants to see how you get multi-kills with fusion rifles in Gambit matches
- Lord Shaxx wants Solar and fusion kills in PvP and 3 rank ups (Valor)
As a reward, you will receive an ornament from each NPC with which you can visually adapt Null Composer to the respective activity.
How strong is Null Composer?
What the fusion rifle can do: Null Composer deals Void damage and is a 540 fusion rifle. This means that the weapon has a very short charge time and increased reserves. Additionally, the fusion rifle reloads faster when the entire magazine is empty. However, the damage of each of the 7 “bolts” per shot is slightly lower.
What perks are available? For quest weapons, you can choose from two perks for Perk Slot 1 and Slot 2 each. With other legendary weapons, you typically find only one perk, which you then have to settle for. This allows you to customize the weapon depending on the activity.
- Feeding Frenzy (Slot 1): Each rapid kill with Null Composer continuously increases reload speed
- Heating Up (Slot 1): Kills increase precision and stability and improve vertical recoil
- Vorpal Weapon (Slot 2): Increases damage by 25% with a full magazine and causes enemies to explode on kills
- Enhanced Reserves (Slot 2): The less ammunition you have in the magazine, the higher the damage
Can the new weapon keep up with the Question of Fate?
When it became known before the start of Season 14 that Bungie was reviving Vorpal Weapon, it was immediately referred to as Question of Fate 2.0. This top weapon held a firm slot in the loadout for many Guardians and was especially strong in PvE. Is the playstyle now identical to back then?
This is how to play Null Composer in PvE: Null Composer is excellent in PvE for quickly decimating large groups of adds. With Feeding Frenzy and Vorpal Weapon, you sweep away entire hordes. You reload after each shot – thanks to Feeding Frenzy, it happens really fast, and each shot hits hard and makes enemies fly apart.
This differs from the playstyle that Question of Fate had. Here you would have taken a charged shot, stowed the weapon, and waited for it to reload itself. Question of Fate, however, dealt more damage per shot due to its archetype.
What about PvP? In the Crucible, you use the combination of Heating Up and Enhanced Reserves. Since you start with 2 shots for fusion rifles after a spawn, Enhanced Reserves is always active, and after the first kill, the following kill becomes significantly easier thanks to improved stats.
Conclusion: Null Composer has lost some kick compared to Question of Fate, but still fills the big shoes excellently. Every Guardian can earn the quest weapon in just a few hours and has a really good tool at hand.
The playstyle is somewhat different, but equally effective, and hardly any other legendary special weapon clears through hordes of many smaller and medium-strength enemies as quickly. In PvP, Null Composer is even better than Question of Fate; only the rapid-fire archetype is currently not the most popular in the Crucible. Particularly among Void fusion rifles, there is strong competition from the harder-hitting but slower types.
What do you think of Null Composer? Did you miss a strong fusion rifle? Would you have preferred a 1:1 of Question of Fate 2.0, or is the slightly different playstyle a cool idea from Bungie? Let us know in the comments.
