A Comprehensive Guide to Obtaining the Insight Terminus Sniper in Destiny 2
Destiny 2, a popular online multiplayer game, has introduced its latest Curated Roll, the Long Goodbye Legendary Sniper Rifle. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of obtaining this powerful weapon by grinding the Insight Terminus Strike. Additionally, we will provide useful tips to help you maximize your score at different stages of the quest.
How to Obtain the Long Goodbye in Destiny 2
The Long Goodbye is acquired as Strike-specific loot in the Insight Terminus Warmind Strike, following the same mechanism as other Strike-specific loot in Destiny 2. Each completion of the Strike presents a chance to obtain the desired drop, but achieving a higher score increases the odds significantly. Specific point thresholds have been set to enhance the drop percentages.
However, it is important to note that randomization can be frustrating. Even with multiple flawless runs, there is still a possibility that the Long Goodbye may not drop. Therefore, perseverance is key, and you may have to grind the Strike repeatedly until you receive the coveted reward.
Tips for Completing the Insight Terminus Strike
The Insight Terminus Strike follows a fairly linear path with clear objectives. Nonetheless, here are a few tips to help you complete the mission efficiently:
- The main adversaries in this Strike are the Vex and Red Legion. It is advisable to equip high-damage weapons, particularly during encounters with the formidable Kargen boss. Snipers and Rockets should be included in your loadout.
- Prioritize eliminating the smaller enemies first when facing bosses and mini-bosses.
- Supers and explosives can prove highly effective in any boss encounters.
- In the Vinculum Cell zone, utilize the surrounding pillars for cover against waves of Cabal.
- During the pursuit phase, as Kargen attempts to escape through a large door, it is crucial for your team to position two orbs from the center of the arena on both sides of the door.
- During the boss fight, standing in the circle Kargen spawns deactivates his shield. This process will need to be repeated several times while fending off hordes of Red Legion. While Kargen retreats to a pillar when his health is halved, the method for dealing damage remains the same. Stand in the circle he creates to bring down the shield.
An Overview of the Long Goodbye
The Long Goodbye is an exceptional Sniper rifle, with its effectiveness determined by its rolls. It possesses the following core traits:
- Adaptive Frame: Offers a well-rounded grip that is reliable and sturdy.
- Rapid Hit: Temporarily enhances stability and reload speed upon landing rapid precision hits.
Additionally, there are diverse randomized rolls available, each offering unique traits such as Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator, Corkscrew Rifling, Extended Barrel, Fluted Barrel, Full Bore, Hammer-Forged Rifling, Polygonal Rifling, Smallbore, Extended Mag, Alloy Magazine, Armor-Piercing Rounds, High-Caliber Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Light Mag, Outlaw, Firmly Planted, Snapshot Sights, High-Impact Reserves, Dragonfly, Fourth Time’s the Charm, Rampage, and Rapid Hit.
Destiny 2 enthusiasts primarily perceive the Long Goodbye as a powerful weapon in player versus player (PvP) combat. However, if you acquire a roll featuring Extended Mag or Fourth Time’s the Charm, its utility in player versus environment (PvE) activities becomes even more prominent. Regardless of the roll, the Long Goodbye remains a formidable Sniper rifle, tailored to fit specific playstyles.
