How to Get Still Hunt in Destiny 2

Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion introduces powerful Exotic weapons. Among them, the Solar-based Still Hunt stands out for its uniqueness. This sniper rifle allows players to charge up a Golden Gun shot, even if they’re not Hunters. Here's how to get Still Hunt in Destiny 2.

Obtaining Still Hunt

The Wild Card Quest

Still Hunt drops as part of The Final Shape’s post-campaign quest, Wild Card. This quest, although lengthy, is essential for acquiring the sniper rifle. The quest explores Cayde and Crow’s adventures within the Pale Heart and their significance outside the Traveler.

1. Complete the Campaign: You must complete The Final Shape campaign to unlock the Wild Card mission.
2. Start the Wild Card Quest: Once the campaign is complete, start the Wild Card quest.

Quest Objectives

The Wild Card quest is split into several objectives, each delving deeper into the story of Cayde and Crow. The mission is long but straightforward.

• Objective 1: Follow the mission markers and complete the initial objectives.
• Objective 2: Engage in battles and complete the story-driven tasks.
• Objective 3: Finish the final part of the quest to receive the Still Hunt sniper rifle.

Still Hunt Traits and Perks

Intrinsic Traits

Still Hunt offers unique intrinsic traits and perks, making it a formidable weapon in both PvE and PvP.

• Cayde’s Retribution (Intrinsic): Picking up Orbs of Power or landing precision hits charges the weapon’s meter. Hold the reload button once charged to fire.
• Golden Munitions (Trait): Refills your magazine when activating your Golden Gun shot.
• Sharpshooter (Trait): Grants passive bonuses to ADS speed, target acquisition, and flinch resistance, with increased values when Golden Gun mode is active.

Charging the Golden Gun Meter

Charging the Golden Gun meter is relatively simple:

• Critical Hits: Six critical hits are enough to charge the meter if you land all shots in a single magazine.
• Orbs of Power: Approximately 10 to 12 Orbs of Power will fully charge the meter.

Using Still Hunt

Activating Golden Gun Mode

Once the Golden Gun meter is charged, activate it by holding the reload button. The screen will display a unique chat message, indicating the use of Cayde’s Retribution. This functions similarly to activating a Super, complete with a unique animation.

In the Crucible

If you see the Cayde’s Retribution message in the Crucible, be cautious. The Golden Gun sniper mode can deal significant damage and turn the tide of battle.

Future Potential: Catalyst

Currently, Still Hunt does not have a catalyst listed in the Collections. However, Bungie has a history of adding catalysts to older Exotics. Players can hope for a catalyst in future updates, enhancing the weapon's capabilities.

Conclusion

This powerful Solar sniper rifle offers unique traits and perks, making it a valuable addition to any Guardian’s arsenal. Charge up the Golden Gun meter with critical hits or Orbs of Power, and unleash its full potential in both PvE and PvP. Keep an eye out for future updates, as Bungie may introduce a catalyst for Still Hunt.
