Destiny 2 Secret Outbreak Prime Exotic: How To Start The Quest

A new Exotic weapon, an updated version of the Destiny 1 favorite Outbreak Prime, popped up in Destiny 2 after the recent release of Update 2.2.2, but don’t be surprised if you haven’t even heard about it yet. The weapon is in the game, but finding the mission to unlock it is no easy feat, and it’s completely secret; Destiny players stumbled upon it soon after the update and spent the entire day figuring out everything about unlocking it.

The trick to finding the weapon is knowing how to start the quest: Here’s what you need to do and where you need to go. We’ve also got a full guide on unlocking your Outbreak Perfected if you don’t feel like trying to figure it out for yourself.

To start down the path to get Outbreak Perfected, you need to head to Titan. Despite early speculation, there’s no activity you have to play in order to find the start of the quest–you can reach the location just walking around while you’re exploring the planet. Land on the Rig, then head south into the Tidal Anchor area.

You’ll recognize this section of the game from several story missions you’ve completed on Titan (including “Bad Neighbors,” the Adventure that was first thought required for Outbreak Perfected). Work your way through the Tidal Anchor area until you hit the big control room with various switches and a big window. Continue forward into the next room just below it, which also has a big window. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you come through the door in the room and find a scannable Hive crystal floating in the corner immediately to your right; at the left end of the room, you should see a door leading into a room with red lighting. That’s where you’re headed.

In the red room, you’ll see a big door ahead of you that’s sealed, and one to your left, both with the number 7 printed on them. Walk to the left door and you should get an “Unlock” prompt to interact with it. That’ll open the door, leading you into a new room with a glass wall dividing a control area from the rest of it.

Head to the right side of the room, toward the Fallen version of the computer that stands near a sealed door. Beside that will be a slight ramp, at the top of which is a bin full of scrap metal and other junk–something that normally just looks like level decoration that you’d otherwise ignore. Check the bin, however, and get a prompt to “Examine Fallen device.” Do so and you’ll get an Exotic quest item called a Fallen Transponder.

You’re now on your way to unlocking Outbreak Perfected. You’ll next need to decipher some riddles and break some codes, before completing a timed mission similar to The Whisper, the one needed to earn Whisper of the Worm. Check out our full guide for help, including our Zero Hour mission video that shows the right path through the mission’s maze-like corridors.

Destiny 2: Outbreak Prime Zero Hour Completion Guide – Full Extended Gameplay

There’s a new secret Exotic weapon in Destiny 2: Outbreak Perfected, an updated, super-powerful version of the Exotic pulse rifle Outbreak Prime from Destiny 1. The gun is hidden, however, and not easy to get: Like the quest to unlock Whisper of the Worm, it requires battling through a timed mission called Zero Hour, which includes tough fights, platforming puzzles, and a huge boss throwdown.

Check out the video above for a look at how to clear the normal version of Zero Hour (there’s also a Heroic version that’ll help you unlock the Outbreak Perfected catalyst). The mission is something of a maze with lots of fake paths and dead ends designed to eat up your time. The video above can give you a look at the correct path all the way through the mission, which takes place in the ruined Tower from the beginning of Destiny 2, and shows how to take down the Fallen boss at its conclusion.

What the video doesn’t show is how to start the mission, which requires you to find a particular item hidden on Titan, then solve some riddles to figure out where to go next. If you prefer to figure it out on your own, we’ve got where to find the start of the Outbreak Perfected quest detailed here; there’s also a full Outbreak Perfected guide on how to start the quest, unlock the mission, and complete Zero Hour.

The Division 2’s New Loot Changes Canceled Thanks To “Loud And Clear” Feedback

Ubisoft has announced Title Update 3, set to go live in The Division 2 this month, will not increase the game’s Gear Score to 515 like previously stated. Instead, the maximum Gear Score will remain at 500.

“Our intention, as always, is for players to enjoy the content they love and continue to make progress with their Agent,” a blog post on The Division 2 website reads. “After talking about loot and Gear Score in a lot of meetings, chats and video calls and many white boards being filled with thoughts, notes and graphs, we decided that with all the changes coming with [Title Update 3], increasing the Gear Score at this point would have created a couple of issues.”

The post goes on to list some of those issues, including how raising the Gear Score to 515 would have made all Gear Score 500 items outdated ahead of the raid that’s also included in Title Update 3. “We don’t want to invalidate your progression and we heard that feedback loud and clear from our community,” the post reads. Ubisoft also doesn’t want The Division 2 to become too focused on chasing higher Gear Scores, as “it should be about finding a playstyle and build that you enjoy.”

To reinforce this, Ubisoft has made several changes to Title Update 3 ahead of its release. These changes are listed below. The list of in-game adjustments and add-ons coming in Title Update 3 are listed in the full patch notes on The Division 2’s website.

The Division 2 Title Update 3 Changes

  • We have increased the rewards for daily Priority Hard and Challenging missions. Once you’ve reached Gear Score 500, those activities will guarantee Gear Score 500 drops.
  • Heroic Mission bosses, Stronghold bosses and Bounty bosses, as well as Control Point Alert Level 4 reward containers guarantee Gear Score 500 items if your average Gear Score is at 500.
  • DZ contaminated loot does not drop below player’s average Gear Score. When you’ve reached an average Gear Score of 500, Contaminated loot will guarantee Gear Score 500 items.
  • We’ve balanced loot across the board to reduce the chances of items dropping at a lower Gear Score than that of your character.

The Division 2 is available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Could Sony Be Teasing Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse 2?

EA to Change Development and Release Strategy in Wake of Anthem Troubles

After Anthem, EA’s latest big release that failed to live up to expectations, the company is planning to make changes to its development and release strategy.

PC Gamer reports that EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson talked about some of the problems faced in the industry when it comes to developing huge games like Anthem during the company’s latest financial results conference call.

“The reality is, it’s not just an EA challenge, it’s an industry-wide challenge,” said Wilson. “You’re moving from what was initially a BioWare game which would be somewhere between 40 and 80 hours of offline play to 40 to 80 hours of offline play plus 100 or 200, 300 hours of elder game that happens with millions of other players at scale, online.”

Samurai Jack Makes a Welcome Return

There’s just something about the Samurai Jack series that lends itself well to comics. Animation may be Jack’s true home, but many of IDW’s recent spinoffs have done a terrific job of replicating that tone and style on the printed page. Samurai Jack: Lost Worlds continues that trend. This first issue is a fun read for fans of the series, though the ending may leave you scratching your head.

This latest spinoff pairs writer Paul Allor (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and artist Adam Bryce Thomas (Sonic the Hedgehog) for a new adventure that has Jack battling one of his fiercest enemies yet – himself. Jack emerges from his hermetic existence to find a town ruled by his own doppelganger – a man determined to school an entire populace in the ways of the samurai and preach a message of noble self-sacrifice. It isn’t long before these two Jacks clash and the true nature of this doppelganger is revealed.

Mel Gibson To Play A “Rowdy, Unorthodox” Santa Claus In New Movie

Oscar winner Mel Gibson will play a “rowdy, unorthodox” Santa Claus in a new film called “Fatman,” according to Variety. According to the report, the movie will begin filming in Canada in early 2020. There is no word as of yet about who will star alongside Gibson in the film.

Variety’s description of the plot states that that Gibson will play a version of Santa Claus who is “fighting his business decline, while a neglected and precocious 12-year-old hires a hitman to kill Santa after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking.”

Fatman will be directed by brothers Ian and Eshom Nelms, working off a script they wrote. They previously worked on Waffle Street, Lost on Purpose, and Small Town Crime.

Gibson is just the latest big-name actor to play Santa. Tim Allen portrayed the character in The Santa Clause series, while Richard Attenborough played him in 1994’s Miracle on 34th Street. More recently, Kurt Russell played Santa in the popular Netflix movie The Christmas Chronicles.

Gibson is a two-time Oscar winner who earned his awards for for 1995’s Braveheart.
