How to Get the Khvostov 7G-02 in Destiny 2
The Khvostov 7G-02 is a legendary auto rifle in Destiny 2, fondly remembered by veteran players from the original Destiny. Its return, as a quest reward, makes it a highly sought-after weapon. This guide will walk you through obtaining this iconic weapon.
Unlocking the Khvostov Quest: New Light
The quest to acquire the Khvostov 7G-02 is tied to the New Light storyline, the introductory experience for new players. If you're a returning player or have already completed the New Light campaign, don't worry! You can still unlock the quest. Here's what you need to do:
Steps to Start the Quest:
-
Ensure your character is a low level: The quest becomes available at a lower level, generally before hitting the power level where most campaign content unlocks. If your character is already high-level, create a new one. This is the easiest way to access the quest.
-
Follow the New Light introductory missions: Progress through the initial storyline missions on the Cosmodrome. The specific missions leading to the quest are usually straightforward and guide you through the main story beats. Pay close attention to the narrative and the objectives presented.
-
Speak to the right NPC: After completing a key section of the New Light campaign, you'll be directed to a specific NPC who will offer the Khvostov quest. This character often varies in location and appearance depending on updates, so keeping an eye on your map is important.
-
Accept the quest: Once you locate the NPC, initiate dialogue, and accept the quest to start your journey toward obtaining the Khvostov.
Completing the Khvostov Quest: A Nostalgic Journey
The quest itself is relatively straightforward, involving a series of tasks such as:
- Completing specific missions: You'll be asked to tackle missions in the Cosmodrome, providing a gentle reintroduction to the game's mechanics for new players or a nostalgic trip down memory lane for veterans.
- Defeating specific enemies: Certain enemy types may be highlighted as targets. These might be mini-bosses, majors, or even just a specific number of regular enemies.
- Collecting items: You may need to collect specific items during missions or by exploring areas within the Cosmodrome.
- Using the Khvostov (partially obtained): Part of the quest will require you to use an initial version of the Khvostov to complete certain objectives.
Important Note: The quest steps may subtly change with updates, so always check in-game guides and community forums for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Beyond the Quest: Upgrading the Khvostov
Once you’ve completed the quest and acquired the Khvostov, you’ll have a basic version of the weapon. To maximize its potential, you'll need to:
- Level it up: Use the Khvostov in various activities, such as patrols, strikes, and Crucible matches, to increase its power level.
- Masterwork it: This involves investing resources to enhance its stats and unlock perks, significantly increasing its effectiveness.
- Add Mods: Utilize weapon mods to further customize and optimize its performance based on your playstyle and the activities you engage in.
The Khvostov 7G-02, with its unique history and satisfying feel, is a rewarding weapon to obtain. Following these steps will ensure you successfully add this legendary auto rifle to your arsenal.
