Top Tier Destiny 2 Weapon Available to Farm Before Witch Queen

gamerant.com:

While most Destiny 2 players are looking forward to the new weapons in the upcoming Witch Queen expansion, they still want to enter Savathun’s Throne World with an established arsenal. Exotic primaries are sure to be a popular choice because of the damage buff they are receiving with Witch Queen, but there are also a few other weapons that every Guardian should have ready to go in their inventory. And as it so happens, one of the best weapons from this last year of Destiny 2, the Hothead Rocket Launcher, is available to farm right now.

The stars have aligned to allow Destiny 2 players to farm the Hothead at a rapid pace. Lake of Shadows is the Nightfall Strike this week – right before Witch Queen is set to launch – and Hothead is one of two weapons available to drop on Strike completion. The other is the Hung Jury scout rifle.

Destiny 2 Legendary Weapon Buffs in Witch Queen

Grandmaster Nightfalls might be among the most challenging content in Destiny 2, but Lake of Shadows is arguably the easiest GM to get through. Players will need to be power level 1345, have overload and unstoppable champion mods equipped, and we recommend packing Protective Light as a life-saving mod. This week's GM is our recommendation for farming a specific weapon but it's also a great source for Exotic Armor, Enhancement Prisms, and Ascendant Shards for those who might be running low.

One of the easiest strategies for getting through Lake of Shadows on Grandmaster is to use the revamped Gjallarhorn exotic Rocket Launcher to clear every tough enemy or group and to use the Aeon gauntlets (equipped with the Sect of Insight mod) to create heavy weapon ammo on champion finishers.

If fireteams coordinate finishers, they should have plenty of ammo to mow
