Destiny 2: How to Get The Whisper of The Worm Catalyst

screenrant.com:

With season 16 and The Witch Queen expansion for Destiny 2, many updates to the game's loot pool were made. Old content has been removed to make room for new content through Bungie's Destiny Content Vault (DCV) or through Destiny 2's controversial sunsetting system. Last year, after the Beyond Light expansion dropped, Bungie removed two special exotic missions. One was for the Exotic sniper rifle Whisper of The Worm, and the other for theexotic pulse rifle Outbreak Perfected. These missions also gave the exotic catalysts for each weapon, but they were among the most difficult to get in the game, so not many players could obtain them before they got sunsetted. Luckily, there are now new ways to obtain the weapons and their catalysts after almost two years.

The Whisper mission that the Whisper of The Worm could be obtained from before being sunsetted was easily one of the most challenging activities in Destiny 2, right next to Outbreak Perfected's Zero Hour mission. Completing The Whisper mission before it was sunsetted awarded each player in the fireteam the Whisper of The Worm sniper rifle, but players had to run the mission back while collecting secret chests and completing an oracle puzzle at least once a week for three weeks to obtain the weapons catalyst. The Whispers' catalyst gives the weapon the sniper the Boxed Breathing perk, which increases the weapon's precision damage significantly after aiming down sights for a few seconds with the weapon.
