How to Get “The Recluse” in Destiny 2: Into the Light

The Recluse has consistently been a beloved Sub Machine Gun in Destiny 2. Fortunately, the recent release of Into the Light has provided players with another opportunity to acquire this renowned weapon.

Despite the addition of several beloved weapons to the BRAVE collection through Into the Light, The Recluse has caught the attention of numerous players. With that in mind, here is a guide on obtaining The Recluse in Destiny 2.

In order to acquire The Recluse in Destiny 2, players simply need to participate in the recently added PvE mode, Onslaught.

Although The Recluse can be obtained through the loot pool after completing Onslaught activities, there is another guaranteed method to obtain it by completing a quest. The vendor Arcite 99-40 offers a series of quests that unlock a specific weapon from the BRAVE arsenal, and one of these quests is specifically for The Recluse.

To successfully finish this quest, all you have to do is obtain it from Arcite and follow the instructions. The steps are fairly simple – you just need to quickly eliminate enemies with SMGs in any Destiny 2 activity. We recommend completing this part of the quest in Onslaught for faster progress.

After achieving a significant number of quick SMG kills, all you need to do is go back to the Hall of Champions, turn on The Recluse’s weapon attunement, and claim your prize. To continue efficiently farming for The Recluse, remember to keep the attunement activated as it boosts the weapon’s drop rate by 50%.

Is The Recluse Worth Using in Destiny 2?

Despite being a well-rounded SMG for both PvE and PvP, The Recluse has slightly fallen from grace due to some changes made by Bungie to its perks.

Despite its “Master of Arms”perk being nerfed, The Recluse still provides players with a respectable 15% damage boost, putting it on par with the perk “Frenzy”. While it may not be as dominant as other popular SMGs like Unending Tempest, Shayura’s Wrath, or the newly introduced Multimach CCX, The Recluse is still capable of holding its own in the current meta. However, it will no longer be considered the top dominating choice.

In summary, that is the method for obtaining The Recluse in Destiny 2 Into the Light. This recent update has provided players with a satisfactory amount of content, ensuring they will be busy until the launch of The Final Shape in June.
