Destiny 2Into the Light hasbrought back plenty of exciting weaponsfor you to farm, but none are as desirable as the new Shiny Weapons.
These unique variants have become the talk of the town with everyone trying to get their hands on them, but what even are they and why should you care?
Here is everything you need to know about Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2 including what’s unique about them and the best way to get them.
What are Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2?
Shiny Weapons arerare variants of theBrave Arsenal weaponsthat feature a unique appearance and roll two perks in slots three and four, rather than just one each as the regular versions do.
This makes Shiny Weapons incredibly appealing as it is theoretically possible to get two god rolls in a single drop. Even better, these perks will be enhanceable in The Final Shape giving them the potential to be the bestweapons in Destiny 2.
Shiny Weapons are received asrare drops when acquiring loot inOnslaught. They can drop from random enemies or chests located at the end of the activity. Anything that rewards a regular weapon in Onslaught also has a small chance to reward a Shiny variant of that same weapon.
However, the odds of receiving Shiny Weapons are extremely low. Although exact drop rates have not been revealed by Bungie it is common for players to go well over one hundred drops without receiving a single Shiny Weapon.
Your best chance of receiving a Shiny Weapon is to attune the weapon you want most in the Hall of Champions to increase its drop rate. Then farm Legend: Onslaught as this more challenging version of the new activity drops significantly more loot.
