How to Get Forerunner Exotic in Destiny 2
Starting the Forerunner Quest
Unlike theGjallarhorn Exotic Rocket Launcher, the Forerunner is free for allDestiny 2players, regardless of whether they purchased the anniversary pack DLC or not. To get the weapon, players will need to start the Forerunner quest. Travel to Eternity and head over to Xur’s Treasure Hoard. Speak to Xur to get a new quest called “Magnum Opus”; the reward for this quest is the Forerunner. Players will need to collect 7 Strange Coins for part 1 of the quest and give them to Starhorse in Eternity.
Where to Find Strange Coins in Destiny 2
Destiny 2players can earn Strange Coins as a reward for completing any of the following:
Steps 2-6 of Magnum Opus
As part of the anniversary event inDestiny 2, players can earn some otherweapons inspired byHalo, such as the Half-Truths Legendary sword that’s obviously inspired by the iconic Energy Sword. The new weapons inDestinyaren’t exactly the ones available inHalo, but they are definitely meant to look similar. Considering that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is out now and the campaign launches this week, there’s no better time to be aHaloorDestinyfan.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
