Tarnation! How to Snag This Gun in Destiny 2
Alright, Guardians, let’s cut right to the chase. You want the Tarnation Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2. Plain and simple, you acquire it through activities within the Throne World, Savathûn’s playground of deception and Light. This means diving into story missions, conquering Lost Sectors, and ranking up with Fynch, the Hive Ghost who’s surprisingly on our side. Keep grinding, and eventually, the elusive Tarnation will drop. Once you’ve secured enough Deepsight Resonance versions, you’ll unlock the ability to craft your own at the Enclave.
Diving Deeper: Acquiring Tarnation
So, you’re hot on the trail of Tarnation, eh? It’s a fine piece of kit, and well worth the effort. Here’s the breakdown on the most effective ways to get your hands on it:
-
The Wellspring: This is arguably your best bet. Tarnation is a potential drop from The Wellspring activity, but with a catch. It only drops during the Wellspring: Defend version. Keep an eye on the daily activity rotation.
-
Throne World Activities: Don’t neglect the basics! Completing story missions, plundering Lost Sectors (especially on Legend or Master difficulty), and increasing your reputation with Fynch all contribute to your chances. Ranking up with Fynch will earn you Throne World engrams which have a chance of dropping Throne World weapons like Tarnation.
-
Modified Campaign Missions: After completing the Witch Queen campaign, Fynch will offer you modified campaign missions. These missions can also reward you with Throne World weapons.
The Deepsight Resonance Grind: Crafting Your Perfect Tarnation
Once you get a Tarnation to drop, it will, on occasion, be a red-bordered Deepsight Resonance weapon. Here’s what you need to know about turning those red borders into crafting power:
- Extract the Pattern: Use the weapon and complete the attunement progress. Once it is completed, extract the weapon pattern by inspecting the Deepsight Resonance weapon.
- Repeat: You’ll need to extract the Tarnation pattern two times before the weapon pattern is permanently unlocked.
- Head to the Enclave: Once you’ve got the pattern unlocked, head to the Enclave on Mars and craft your very own Tarnation grenade launcher!
Understanding the Drop Rates: Patience, Young Padawan
Let’s be real, the drop rate for Deepsight Resonance Tarnation can feel incredibly low. Don’t get discouraged! Here are some tips to mitigate the grind:
- Focus on The Wellspring when it’s ‘Defend’ day. This maximizes your chance of getting the weapon you want.
- Consider using a Ghost Shell with the ‘Guiding Light’ perk. This perk increases XP gains, which can help you rank up faster with Fynch and earn more engrams.
- Team up! Having a fireteam increases your efficiency in activities like The Wellspring.
Why Tarnation is Worth the Effort
So, why bother with all this effort for Tarnation? Well, for starters, it’s a Void Adaptive Grenade Launcher. But what makes it special is that it can roll with some incredibly powerful perks:
- Auto-Loading Holster: Grenades are automatically reloaded. This is a fantastic perk for keeping the damage flowing.
- Chain Reaction: Each grenade explosion creates a burst of Void energy, which causes nearby enemies to explode as well.
- Chill Clip: Direct impacts with the grenade will slow the target. Repeated impacts will freeze the target.
With the right perks, Tarnation can be a powerhouse in both PvE and PvP.
