Destiny 2: How to Get Shiny Weapons in Into the Light

Destiny 2 Into the Light has introduced a new addition to the game: Shiny Weapons. Guardians across the solar system are eager to get their hands on these special items, as they offer both prestige and enhanced performance. Here's everything you need to know about obtaining Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2: Into the Light.

How to Get Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2: Into the Light

Getting Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2 Into the Light is a matter of luck and persistence. These rare variants have a chance to drop whenever a player acquires loot in the new Onslaught activity. 

The exact drop rates remain a secret by Bungie, but players report going through hundreds of drops without encountering a single Shiny Weapon.

To increase the chances of finding a Shiny Weapon, players should focus on the following strategies:

1. Attune the desired weapon in the Hall of Champions to boost its drop rate by 50%.
2. Farm Legend: Onslaught, as this higher-difficulty version of the activity, yields significantly more loot.
3. Complete Arcite 99-40's Brave Quests to earn unique Shiny Weapons with fixed, curated perk sets.

It's important to remember that Shiny Weapons will only be available until June 4th, 2024. Some variants may not even appear until the end of April, making the window to acquire them even narrower.

What Are Shiny Weapons in Destiny 2: Into the Light?

Shiny Weapons are more than just a cosmetic upgrade. These rare variants of the Brave Arsenal weapons feature a unique golden appearance and come with double perks in the third and fourth slots. With their distinct golden appearance, they also offer a notable gameplay advantage compared to regular versions. 

This unique system could elevate Shiny Weapons to become some of the most powerful armaments in the game.

Shiny Weapons give fresh anticipation for Destiny 2's loot system. Their rarity and potential for double god rolls bring back the thrill of hunting for them, while their distinctive golden look is a badge of honor for lucky and dedicated Guardians. Good luck finding them!
