The Final Warning Guide - How to Get it?

Ah, so you want to get your hands on the Destiny 2 Final Warning exotic Strand sidearm? Well, my dear Guardian, you're in for a bit of a journey. First things first, you'll need to unlock the Destiny 2 Strand subclass, and let me tell you, it's no walk in the park.

You'll need to grind your way through a ton of Strand Meditations, and I mean a ton. Each Fragment will set you back 300 of these bad boys, and you'll need to complete activities around Neomuna while using Strand to earn them. It's like a never-ending loop, but hey, that's the price you pay for greatness.

Once you've unlocked all the Aspects, Fragments, and abilities, you'll finally be able to pick up The Last Strand exotic quest at Pouka Pond. From there, it's time to get down to business. Here are the steps you'll need to take:

  1. Pay a visit to Nimbus in Strider's Gate.
  2. Scour Veil Containment for Strand-inoculated gadgets.
  3. Take down those pesky Shadow Legion looters and read their orders to find out where they took their loot.
  4. Retrieve the Veil spectrometer, which can be found in Typhon Imperator.
  5. Head over to the Pouka Pond in the Hall of Heroes.
  6. Complete Osiris's training program in under 5 minutes and 30 seconds to retune to the Veol spectrometer.
  7. Finally, pay a visit to Pouka Pond to finish the Strand weapon and claim your Destiny 2 Final Warning exotic sidearm.

And there you have it, folks! It may be a bit of a grind, but trust us when we say that the Final Warning is worth it. So get out there and show those enemies who's the boss with your shiny new Strand sidearm. Good luck, Guardian!


Are you ready for a breakdown of how to complete The Last Strand quest in Destiny 2 Lightfall? Buckle up, Guardian, because we've got all the deets you need to make it through this epic journey.


  • Step 1 – Visit Numbus

Well, well, well, look who's taking the first step toward completing the quest! You're on your way to greatness, Guardian.

The good news is that this step is pretty straightforward. No need to worry about navigating through a maze or deciphering a cryptic message. Nope, they're going to give you further instructions. That's right, you're not on your own just yet.

But don't get too comfortable. This is just the beginning of an epic journey that will test your skills, your patience, and your sanity. Just kidding (or are we?).

So go ahead and take that first step with confidence, Guardian. The rest of the journey awaits you, and we can't wait to see you come out on top.


  • Step 2 – Find Strand

Ah, the joys of following a quest marker. It's like a scavenger hunt, but with more lasers and fewer chocolate eggs (unless you're really lucky).

To find this location, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for the quest marker. It'll be on the left side of your Neomuna destination map, so make sure you're not looking at your map upside down. We've all been there, no shame in it.

Once you've found the marker, follow it until you reach a portal. Don't worry, it's not a trick. You won't get sucked into an alternate dimension or anything (probably). This portal will lead you to a fortress, where you'll face off against some enemies.

Now, we don't want to freak you out, but these enemies can be a bit, well, enemy-ish. So be prepared for a fight. But hey, you're a Guardian, right? You've got this.

Combat your way through the fortress and push forward towards victory. You'll be one step closer to completing the quest and earning that sweet, sweet loot.

So go forth, Guardian, and conquer those enemies. We'll be cheering you on from the sidelines (and maybe snacking on some chocolate eggs while we do).


  • Step 3 – Defeat Shadow Legion

As you make your way through the fortress, you'll come across some not-so-friendly Shadow Legion looters. These guys are highlighted in a way that screams, "Hey! Look at me! You need to defeat me to progress the quest!" It's like they want to be the center of attention or something.

But don't worry, Guardian. You're not one to back down from a fight. So go ahead and show those looters who's boss. We have faith in you.

Once you've defeated the looters, you'll come face to face with a Colossus. This guy is a bit tougher than the average enemy, but you've got this. Take him down and claim your prize - the orders you need to advance the quest.

Collect those orders like they're a rare exotic and move on to the next step. You're on your way to becoming a true legend, Guardian. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.


  • Step 4 – Retrieve Veil Spectrometer

Alright, Guardian. It's time to put those fast travel skills to the test. Get ready to jump around like a rabbit on caffeine because we're heading to Strider's Gate or Liming Harbor. From there, make your way to Ahimsa Park and keep going until you reach Calus's flagship.

Now, you might be thinking, "Oh great, more enemies to fight." And you're not wrong. But this time, you'll be facing a Tormenter. Sounds pretty intimidating, huh? But don't worry, you've got this.

Just remember to keep your wits about you, dodge those attacks, and give the Tormenter a taste of your own medicine. Show them what happens when they mess with a Guardian on a mission.

Once you've taken down the Tormenter, you'll be one step closer to completing The Last Strand quest. Keep pushing forward, Guardian. The universe is counting on you.


  • Step 5 – Return to Pouka Pond

Well, well, well. Look who's back at the Hall of Heroes. It's like you practically live here now. But don't worry, we won't judge. After all, you're on a mission to complete The Last Strand quest.

So, what's next? It's time to meditate again at the pond. You know the drill, Guardian. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and let the Strand flow through you. Breathe in...and out. In...and out. Feel that energy coursing through your veins.

Once you're done meditating, you'll be ready to take on the final step of the quest. So go ahead, Guardian. Close your eyes and let the power of the Strand guide you.

  • Step 6 – Osiris Training Program

Ah, the Headlong marker. The final frontier. The last hurdle before you can claim your prize. Are you ready, Guardian?

First things first, take a look at your map. See that little marker near the southern area? Yep, that's the one. Now, here's a pro tip: use your Strand and the Strand grapple to move through the mission quickly. It's like you're Spider-Man, but with way cooler powers.

Once you get to the boss, it's time to show them who's boss. Show off your skills and take 'em down like a pro. And with that, the quest will be complete. Congratulations, Guardian! You've earned yourself the Destiny 2 Final Warning exotic Strand sidearm. Now go out there and show those enemies who's really in charge.

  • Step 7 – Obtain the Weapon


Hey there! Ready to claim your shiny new Final Warning exotic sidearm in Destiny 2? Great! But before that, you need to meditate once again to finish The Last Strand quest. Find a quiet spot, take a deep breath, and let the universe know you're ready for your reward!

Once you've finished your meditation, head over to your inventory and bask in the glory of your new weapon. It's time to take it for a test drive and show those enemies who's boss. With its automatic aim and the power of the Darkness-based Strand subclass at your fingertips, you'll be unstoppable!

So, get out there, Guardian, and start blasting your way to victory with your Final Warning exotic sidearm. And who knows? Maybe you'll even scare the Darkness away with your impressive skills.

Last Words 

Ah, the elusive Destiny 2 Final Warning. The exotic Strand kinetic sidearm that's got players chasing it down like it's the last donut in the office break room. This bad boy was released with the Lightfall expansion and is the only Strand-based exotic weapon in the game unless you complete the Quicksilver Storm catalyst quest. But fear not, dear Guardian, for I have the intel you need to claim this elusive weapon.

The first thing you need to know is the perks that come with the Destiny 2 Final Warning. It's got an "All at Once" perk that lets you mark targets within range and load multiple bullets. Once you release the trigger, the gun fires in a burst with increased stability. If you hit a marked target with a fully charged burst, they're toast. And if that wasn't enough, it's also got a "Pick Your Poison" perk that lets you choose your method of destruction. Hipfiring? Your projectiles will track marked targets and deal increased body shot damage. Aiming? Your projectiles will have significantly increased velocity and deal extra critical hit damage to marked targets.

Now, onto the nitty-gritty of how to get this bad boy. To get your hands on the Destiny 2 Final Warning, you need to complete The Last Strand quest. This means unlocking the Strand subclass, including all Aspects and Fragments. Each Fragment costs 300 Strand Meditations, which you can earn by completing activities around Neomuna while using Strand. Once you've unlocked everything, head over to Pouka Pond and pick up the quest.

From there, it's a matter of following the markers and taking down enemies like it's a game of whack-a-mole. You'll need to defeat Shadow Legion looters and collect their orders to advance the quest. You'll also need to take down a Tormenter, a Colossus, and a boss named Headlong. But fear not, my fellow Guardian, for with a little skill and a lot of luck, you'll make it through.

And finally, after all that blood, sweat, and tears, you'll need to meditate again at the pond and claim your prize. Congratulations, Guardian! You now have the Destiny 2 Final Warning in your arsenal, ready to take down any enemy foolish enough to cross your path.
