Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Leviathan’s Breath exotic weapon quest

By

Destiny 2 has done a great job at slowly rolling out new content following its most recent Shadowkeep expansion. Weekly updates have brought new activities, events, and exotic weapons. The latest addition to the game is the Make Bows, Not War quest, which gives you a new heavy bow that can cause some serious damage. Here’s everything you need to do to get this shiny new toy.

Step 1: Find Banshee-44’s Workshop

If you’re a Season of the Undying pass holder, you’ll get a notification about a new quest when you first log in. To kick things off, head over to Banshee-44 (the gunsmith) in the Tower. He’ll task you with finding his hidden workshop, which can be incredibly tricky to find on your own.

To start, head over to the Hangar in the Tower. Once you get into the Hangar, turn to your left and look up at the building that houses Future War Cult. You’ll notice a path above it, which is where you need to go. Turn to your right and go all the way up the staircase on the wall. Follow the catwalk over to the FWC building. You’ll need to hop the railing and jump over to the one on the back wall.

From here, you’ll go through a little maze of hidden rooms in the Tower. Luckily, it’s pretty linear, so just keep crawling through vents and going from room to room. At some point, you’ll reach what looks like a dead-end in a room with 2 big shelves. Look above them and you’ll see an opening in the ceiling. There’s a box near one of the shelves, so hop on that and vault your way into the hole.

You’ll eventually come to a hallway with some fans in it. Run to the end, where you’ll find a small vertical platforming section. Finally, you’ll enter Banshee’s Workshop. Head over to the weapons case across from you and try to open it. Unfortunately, it’s locked. Hang your head low and return to Banshee-44 for the next step.

Step 2: Play Gambit or Complete Strikes

To crack the weapons case lock, you’ll need to do a bunch of activities because, well, it’s Destiny. To start, you’ll need to either complete Gambit matches or do strikes. Gambit Prime and Nightfalls will both grant more quest progress here.

If you’re particularly great at Gambit, 4 wins are all you need. Otherwise, loses only grant you 10% progress. The fastest method is to simply run 2 Nightfalls. Do that and you’ll move on to your next lesson in safecracking.

Step 3: Kill Vex or Cabal With Precision Bow Shots

Now, you’ll need to kill a bunch of Vex or Cabal with precision bow shots in any activity. Equip a bow and head to an area that’s densely populated with Vex or Cabal. I went to Nessus for this, landing over at Watcher’s Grave. Vex tend to hang around the barge, plus there’s a Vex public event that can spawn there as well.

Any bow will do, but you might want to avoid using Trinity Ghoul. That exotic bow shoots a split shot, which can accidentally hit enemies near the one you’re aiming at with non-precision shots. Each enemy grants about 3% progress, so just pick an area where there aren’t many guardians to thwart your efforts and you’ll get this done quickly.

Step 4: Defeat The Arms Dealer

Now, you’ll need to do a special version of the Arms Dealer quest, which appears at a recommended power level of 900. Head to the EDZ and load into the strike. This is tougher than your average strike. In this version, both melee hits and elemental shots from enemies will deal more damage. Plus, enemies have more health and can’t be staggered due to Iron.

Things will get especially hard in the boss room, but the best strategy is to be overly cautious. Gladiators will usually kill you in one hit if they get to you, and there’s a ton of elemental damage flying. Keep your distance, focus on ads, and keep moving to vanquish the Arms Dealer.

Step 4: Return to the Workshop

Banshee's Secret Workshop

Head back to the Tower and speak to Banshee-44 once more. Now take your newly made key all the way back to the secret workshop (follow the directions in Step 1 if you’ve forgotten where it is) and interact with the weapons case to unlock it. Pick up Leviathan’s Breath and get ready to deal some damage.

As we mentioned, this is a unique bow because it’s technically a power weapon. The bow takes much longer to draw, but the shot staggers unshielded enemies and is strong against Unstoppable Champions, making this a great pick for PVE activities.

The best weapon mods in Remnant 2

Even the best weapons in Remnant 2 will feel weak if you don't upgrade them with mods. These don't just give passive buffs like upgrades, but add entirely new functions to your weapons that can completely change the way you approach combat. While there are a bunch of unique weapons that come with exclusive mods you can't remove or otherwise get to put on other guns, most weapons have a slot for you to place whatever mod you want in them. Just like anything else in Remnant 2, mods aren't given away for free. You will need to go out exploring dangerous areas and take down challenging bosses to unlock them. With over 50 mods to find and try out, we'll save you the time and materials you'd waste experimenting with them all and list off the best weapon mods in Remnant 2.

Astral Burst

Let's start off with a great crowd-control option. Astral Burst can be your get-out-of-jail-free card in plenty of overwhelming situations. When activated, you will shoot off a shotgun-like blast of seven star fragments that each deal 35 damage. That may not sound like much, but these fragments can bounce off of walls up to three times, with each bounce increasing the damage dealt by 35%. Making the most of this means doing some quick geometry and aiming to your target after at least a bounce or two, but if you can pull it off, you'll feel like a genius.

Activision has released a new Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 update that nerfs the game's best long-range weapons: the Cronen Squall and the ISO Hemlock. Specifically, the damage across both weapons has been reduced, making them both less effective in all situations.

The news comes from the battle royale game's latest round of patch notes, which outlines the new changes to the weapons. There are some major implications to those changes, though the updates aren't as devastating as they might initially seem. Here's every tweak that was implemented in the new patch.

Warzone 2.0’s one-shot snipers are hard to use. Try this weapon instead
Character holding sniper in Warzone 2.0.

Activision finally added the ability to earn one-hit kills with certain snipers as part of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3. This was a much-needed update that makes heavy rifles more viable. However, this comes with a major caveat, as the only way to earn a one-hit kill is by utilizing explosive rounds on a small selection of snipers, which absolutely tanks a weapon's bullet velocity.

This makes it extremely difficult to actually hit your shots, so inexperienced players won't really reap the benefits of the newly-added one-shot capabilities. However, there is an alternative solution that everyone should try, as it's a viable option that works well at long distances.
