Skip To...

Those brave enough to venture inside the Nether will need the best equipment, and Episode: Heresy of Destiny 2 brings an interesting weapon. We’re talking about the Lodestar Exotic Trace Rifle, which is this season’s gun. Leaving the amazing design on the side, it packs a punch and brings some interesting stats and traits that will cause some interesting effects during combat. So, whether you’re pursuing the premium or basic season pass, this is one rifle you should add to your armory.

How To Get the Lodestar Trace Rifle

Lodestar is the Exotic Trace Rifle of the Episode: Heresy season pass of Destiny 2. As expected, it is quite easy to get, especially if you’re on the premium season pass. If you’re on it, you can get it just by reaching Rank 1. However, if you’re only going for the basic pass, you’ll obtain it after reaching Rank 40. It’s quite a steep journey for F2P players, but it is worth obtaining it.

In the meantime, remember to work on your challenges to start gaining that experience and reap those Act I rewards, which are always useful for all Guardians.
