During the next quest, “The Third Wave,” players must complete the Crucible Triumph “In Pursuit of Honor.” This Triumph hasn’t been changed, but the amount of credit you get towards the Triumph has been. In order to receive The Mountaintop, players must first complete the quest “ First of Many” by raising their Glory rank to “Brave,” the second tier. This should vastly reduce the amount of grinding needed to obtain Wendigo, which loads up bonus blast radius and damage whenever you pick up an Orb of Light. Overall, “completing Playlist strikes grants a significant amount of progress towards the final objective,” according to the patch notes. It’s unclear if these changes mean that you only need 750 launcher kills, rather than 1,500, but the patch notes are clear that grenade launcher kills now grant 100 percent more (read: twice as many) points towards the last objective, and grenade launcher multikills grant 1.5 times as many points.

Additionally, dying no longer removes points from the last objective. As of today’s update, “Grenade Launcher kills are worth 100% more for each objective,” and “Grenade Launcher multikills grant 50% more progress,” according to the patch notes. Wendigo G元’s quest, “ A Gift for the Worthy,” requires 1,500 grenade launcher kills and 500 grenade launcher multikills in playlist Strikes, along with 15,000 points earned by defeating enemies in Strikes - enemies defeated with grenade launchers are worth more points, natch. I say “historically” because as of today’s version 2.5.2.2 update, both quests have been mercifully nerfed, and now require far less of your precious, fleeting life. Two Pinnacle Weapons, The Mountaintop and Wendigo G元, have historically been some of the most time consuming to acquire. This took several weeks of daily grinding to achieve, and while the community has varying opinions about whether Hush is actually “””””good”””””, I love the dang thing and think that it compliments my play-style perfectly. Last weekend, for instance, I finally earned Hush, a Pinnacle bow awarded by the Drifter for getting 1,000 normal bow eliminations, 500 precision bow eliminations, and roughly 600 medals in Gambit modes.

The trouble is that each Pinnacle Weapon has a unique perk that can’t be found on any other gun, and more often than not, they’re damn good perks that can make a big difference. The weapons themselves range from bows, to fusion rifles and everything in between, but there’s one unifying quality among them: They’re all a huge pain in the ass to get. So Destiny 2 has these special guns called “Pinnacle Weapons,” which can only be acquired by persevering through long, arduous quests that require a lot of skill and a lot of patience.
