The full details have been revealed as to how Destiny 2 players will earn the controversial Redrix’s Broadsword in the game’s upcoming fourth season that begins with the release of the Forsaken expansion. As explained by developer Bungie in its blog this week, Redrix’s Broadsword will be unlocked by way of a Crucible quest, rewarding players with a basically identical version of the Redrix’s Claymore, the current season’s most exclusive PvP reward.

2. There are a lot of weapons in Destiny 2, but none are as highly sought-after as the infamous Redrix’s Claymore. This monstrous pulse rifle devours players in the crucible, and thanks to how.

Destiny 2 Redrix’s Broadsword. The curated version of Redrix’s Broadsword has Outlaw and Desperado. Outlaw simply increases Broadsword’s reload speed after getting a precision kill. Desperado, on the other hand, increases the weapon’s rate of fire if you reload while Outlaw is active.

Ever since the announcement of the existence of Redrix’s Broadsword, Destiny 2 fans have launched into a debate about the fairness of such a weapon existing, as well as wondering what it will take for players to get their hands on the unique weapon. Amidst the controversy, Bungie decided to share the full details of the quest that will unlock Redrix’s Broadsword. And it looks to be quite the grind.

Step 1:

In the Crucible. Defeat 200 opponents with Pulse Rifle final blows.

Step 2:

Forging The Broadsword Steps

Reach Valor Rank “Heroic”

Step 3:

In the Crucible. Earn 75 Double Plays.

Step 4:

In the Crucible. Defeat 150 opponents with precision final blows from any Pulse Rifle.

Step 5:

In the Crucible, defeat 50 opponents with Arc final blows

In the Crucible, defeat 50 opponents with Solar final blows

In the Crucible, defeat 50 opponents with Void final blows

Step 6:

Complete 25 Crucible matches in Quickplay (Rotators count)

Complete 25 Crucible matches in Competitive

Complete 25 Crucible matches in Rumble

Step 7:

Complete 20 Crucible Bounties

Step 8:

Redrix Broadsword D2

Reset your Valor rank 5 times within a single season

Step 9:

Visit Lord Shaxx and claim your reward.

While these steps take the pressure off of players from having to climb Destiny 2‘s competitive PvP ladder (which was required of players to earn the original Redrix’s Claymore during Season 3), there is a still a significant time commitment for those wanting to get their hands on Redrix’s Broadsword. The difference in many ways is that the requirements of this quest are much more about time played in the Crucible over rewarding high skill in PvP; albeit, skilled players are going to get through this quest much faster than lower-skilled players.

The biggest hurdle of the quest could be the last step—resetting one’s Valor rank five times within a single season. Although, if Bungie keeps up with occasional double and triple Valor weekends, that grind could speed up for players.

Even with the reveal of the significant time commitment it will take to get Redrix’s Broadsword, many fans are still unhappy. Bungie had referred to Redrix’s Claymore as a weapon that would only ever be available during Season 3 and yet a better version is on the way. Still, others are bemoaning the length and commitment of this quest, so there are perspectives on all sides of this argument.

Interestingly, before the quest’s details were revealed, even one of Xbox’s executives got in on the action, criticizing Bungie for adding Redrix’s Broadsword into the game at all.

Q. Does resetting your valor rank counts retroactively. For example if i reset the rank 2 times before the step does it count for the quest step or no?

Nope. (Twitter) (See below under 'Kevin' for more on this)

• Valor Rank resets only count during the season in which you have the quest in your inventory. Past resets will NOT count towards this. (Twitter)
• Any rank related objective can be completed anytime during the season and will count once you hit a step that requires it. Making Valor progress during the early steps still makes progress towards the later step. So capitalize on those booster weekends and the changes to Valor win streaks in Competitive. If you keep grinding Comp you’ll get a full Valor streak and keep it even on loss.(Twitter)

Q. Does this mean that if I reset my valor twice while working on the quest it’ll count towards the later step? Believe you said no in this case? Just kinda confused with this.

It will still count so long as all 5 are done in the same season. This is only the case with the rank objectives. (Twitter)

Q. Am I right in thinking that theoretically if I am at the reset valor stage but do not complete it in season 4 I can do it in season 5?

Correct! (Twitter)

Q. Let's say while a player completes step 1, does that produce progress on step 4 once they reach it? Or is it a clean slate for each step?

Clean slate. Earn it. (Twitter)

Q. After getting my Claymore I went into comp solo and am now at 2090, I take it I'll still get the emblem tied to getting the Claymore/reaching fabled or do I need to get back to 2100?

Just getting Claymore and hitting Fabled is enough. Deranking will not hurt that. (Twitter)
