DESTINY 2: SHADOWKEEP EDGEWISE GUIDE – QUEST STEPS & HOW-TO GET!

PREFACE

We're taking a look at the Edgewise, which is one of Destiny 2's new Ritual Weapons that can be obtained in the Shadowkeep expansion! You'll need to complete a small quest to obtain this Machine Gun.

Ritual Weapons have replaced the old Pinnacle Weapons that were popular among collectors. These new weapons will no longer have special perks and will instead feature curated rolls. This seems to be a way to keep things more fair across the board, and will make it easier to balance in the future.

EDGEWISE PERKS

Don't let them get a word in.

• Rapid-Fire Frame - Deeper ammo reserves. Slightly faster reload when magazine is empty.
• Rampage - Kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage. Stacks 3x.

EDGEWISE QUEST STEPS

If you want to earn the Edgewise Machine Gun, you'll need to head on over to Comander Zavala and receive the First Impressions quest:


Complete the following objectives in strike playlists to receive the Solar Machine Gun Edgewise. Earn points by defeating enemies. Difficult strikes grant the most efficient progress.

"Heavy ordnance requisition approved, Guardian. Make your presence known to the enemies of humanity, far and wide." —Commander Zavala

You'll need to complete the following objectives to complete this quest:

• Points Scored: 10,000
• [Machine Gun] Final blows: 1,000
• [Solar Kill] Final blows: 1,500

All of these must be completed in a Strike playlist. The good news is that you can earn points in both normal Strikes as well as Nightfalls.

For the last goal, scoring 10,000 points, the quickest way to get this done is to defeat enemies in more difficult Strikes. For those who are already approaching max Power in Shadowkeep, playing through the hardest Nightfall: The Ordeal possible is going to be the best method. However, the easiest method will be to use the older Nightfall playlist.

HOW TO FARM EDGEWISE QUICKLY

Fixed Odds is a Solar Machine Gun available through the Menagerie.

The first step in farming Edgewise is to get yourself a Solar Machine Gun. The best way to do this is to use the Menagerie rune table to create a Fixed Odds. Once you run through the Menagerie and have your weapon, you’re almost ready to begin farming. A Fixed Odds is a Solar Machine Gun, which lets you knock out Machine Gun kills and Solar kills at the same time.

Next, you will want to ensure you’ve fully upgraded your Gate Lord’s Eye seasonal artifact so you can have access to the Heavy Finisher mod. This mod gives you Heavy ammo any time you perform a finisher on an enemy.

With both of those tasks complete, load up a Nightfall. This is best as you won’t be joining random players in a Strike that drag you forward. Don’t pick the Scarlet Keep as there’s no backtracking in that Strike. The goal is to find a Lost Sector and farm the enemies in there.

This method is still going to take you an hour or more to unlock Edgewise, but it’s much quicker than playing Strikes with friends or randoms.

EDGEWISE PERKS

Field Prep and Demolitionist are the two best perks to use on Edgewise.

nlike the Pinnacle weapons from previous seasons, the Rituals weapons don’t come with unique perks. In saying this, they are still extremely powerful, though they likely won’t replace Exotic options.

As for Edgewise, this 900 RPM Machine Gun can compete with 21% Delirium, one of the best Power weapons in the game.

Edgewise has two columns of perks with two perks to choose from:

• Feeding Frenzy and Field Prep
  
• Rampage and Demolitionist

The optimal set of perks to choose would be Field Prep and Demolitionist. While Feeding Frenzy does offer some faster reload speeds, you still gain increased reload speed when crouching with Field Prep.

As for Rampage, it’s been nerfed to the point where it’s no longer a must-have perk. On the other hand, Demolitionist is exceptionally powerful, allowing you to have your grenade up after every few kills. What’s better, throwing a grenade will reload Edgewise, further circumventing the need for Feeding Frenzy.
