Bungie started rolling out Pinnacle weapons with Season 3 of Destiny 2. With the first weapon be Redrix’s Claymore, players went in hard in Competitive to acquire this weapon. After that, every season came with three pinnacle weapons – one for Crucible, one for Vanguard and the last one for Gambit (a PvP-PvE hybrid activity).
Pinnacle Weapons in the Crucible
Currently, there are a total of 7 Crucible pinnacle weapons in Destiny 2. Below you can find how you can acquire these weapons with complete quest guide:
Redrix’s Claymore
The first one on the list is Redrix’s Claymore. A powerful pulse rifle which a very few players managed to acquire. At that time, reaching Fabled rank inside Competitive was very difficult due to the lost streak. The unique perk on this weapon was Desperado (reloading while Outlaw is active increases rate of fire).
Redrix’s Broadsword
Redrix’s Broadsword is just like Redrix’s Claymore with some extra perks under its belt. To acquire this weapon, you need to go to Lord Shaxx and get the quest Orientation.
