In the MMO shooter Destiny, three of the most sought-after Exotics from “The Taken King” are now easy to obtain.
In about three months, the next big thing is coming to Destiny: The “Rise of Iron” expansion. Along with new quests, we can look forward to plenty of fresh weapons and armor pieces. One or two Exotics will certainly be included. An upgraded version of the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn has already been confirmed.
A few days ago, the Update 2.3.0 in Destiny went live and brought a surprise: From now on, the mission endings that are prerequisites for coveted Exotics are permanently available.
These Exotics are now easy to obtain
Since “The Taken King,” missions have been available which provide an alternative ending on certain days and are prerequisites for exotic weapons. For example, if “Lost to Light” was the daily story mission, the “Black Spindle“ day was loudly declared. Many Guardians were frustrated by this, as they either had no time on those days, their clanmates were not online, or various other reasons prevented them from obtaining the time-limited Exotics.
Since the Update 2.3.0 a few days ago, Bungie has taken a different approach. Now you can tackle these exotic weapons at any time. They are:
- Black Spindle: If you want to embrace this powerful sniper rifle, you must complete “Lost to Light” with an alternative ending. It’s all about speed. How to get the Black Spindle in Destiny, we have outlined here.
- No Time to Explain: For this stylish pulse rifle, you first need to experience the alternative ending in the mission “Paradox,” so that the follow-up quest “Not Forged in Light” activates. How you can get “No Time to Explain”, we present here.
The alternative endings of Paradox and “Lost to Light” can now be selected at any time via the Navigator.
- Additionally, the mission “The First Firewall” can now be played as soon as you have the required items. This grants you the heavy fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant. What steps are necessary to obtain Sleeper Simulant in Destiny, we describe here.
These Exotics are now available at any time. They have lost their time-limited “special status,” as all Guardians can now easily acquire these weapons. In the coming days and weeks, we will likely see these three exotic weapons more frequently.
Presumably, Bungie wants to give more players the opportunity to try out “Black Spindle,” “No Time to Explain,” and “Sleeper Simulant” themselves. The next DLC is just a few months away. Then there will be new things again that will take on a “special status” in Destiny.
