Destiny 2 Pinnacle Weapons detailed ahead of Season 5

Destiny 2 Pinnacle Weapons have been detailed ahead of the game’s Season 5 launch tomorrow.

Season 5, called Season of the Forge, kicks off tomorrow, 28 November here in Australia. In the same vein as Season 4’s Luna’s Howl hand cannon, Season 5 will offer up a series of new Pinnacle Weapons, awarded to players who accomplish feats across Destiny 2‘s varoius game modes. We’ve detailed the weapons and how to get them below.

The Loaded Question

The Loaded Question is the Season 5 Pinnacle Weapon obtained through Strikes. To obtain the fusion rifle, a Guardian will need to Over the course of the season, players will need to complete 40 strikes or Nightfalls, get 1,000 kills with Arc damage and a final 500 kills with fusion rifles.

The weapon comes with the Reservoir Burst perk, which will deal bonus damage and cause enemies to explode when you begin firing with a full magazine.

Breakneck

Breakneck will be obtained through Gambit. To obtain the auto rifle, Guardians will need to get 500 auto rifle kills, 150 challenging enemy kills, 100 auto rifle multi-kills and complete 40 Gambit matches.

Breakneck comes with the Onslaught perk, which fires faster and stacks Rampage up to three times.

The Mountaintop

The third and final Pinnacle Weapon is obtained through Crucible play. The Mountaintop is a kinectic grenade launcher that will require Guardians to earn 750 points with grenade launchers (three points per kill in non-competitive, 10 in competitive), 200 multi-kill points (two points per double in non-competitive, five in competitive) and 100 Calculated Trajectory points (kill three players with a grenade launcher without dying; one point is earned for each medal earned in non-competitive, four for competitive). Finally, Guardians will also need to hit the rank of Fabled in the Crucible’s competitive playlist.

The Mountaintop’s perk is Micro-Missile, which means the weapon “fires in a straight line and has a massively increased projectile speed.”

Season of the Forge is available from 4.00 am AEDT tomorrow, 28 November. Destiny 2 expands the following week, when its Black Armory expansion is available from 4.00 am AEDT on 5 December.

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
