Today In Destiny 2, Guardians can tackle the Master Spire of the Watcher. This pinnacle activity offers high-level rewards, including Artifice Armour, making it a prime destination for powerful gear.
The Master Spire of the Watcher features unique modifiers to challenge even veteran players. Boosts are active, providing an initial exotic drop rate boost of 3x. However, expect shielded foes with Arc and Void shields, and potentially more depending on active modifiers.
Overcharged weapons from the Seasonal Artifact are also active. Kinetic weapons deal increased damage when your Super element aligns with an active surge. This encourages strategic loadout customisation for maximum damage. Master modifiers further increase the difficulty with extra Champions and shields. Expect both Barrier and Overload Champions. Equip the right anti-Champion mods to counter them.
Machine Guns receive a 25% damage buff due to the Overcharged Machine Gun modifier. Both Arc and Strand surges are active, granting a 25% damage bonus to Arc and Strand damage respectively. Adapting your subclass and weapons to these surges is crucial.
Completing the Master Spire of the Watcher offers chances at powerful weaponry and Tex Mechanica armour sets. This week features the Long Arm Scout Rifle, Terminus Horizon Machine Gun, and Seventh Seraph Carbine Auto Rifle.
The Long Arm Scout Rifle is reliable for long-range engagements. Its precision and range are valuable in the Spire’s vertical environments. The Terminus Horizon Machine Gun delivers sustained firepower to suppress enemies and melt tougher foes. The Seventh Seraph Carbine, a versatile auto rifle, is effective at close and medium ranges.
Alongside these weapons, various Tex Mechanica armour pieces are available, including helmets, gauntlets, leg armour, chest pieces, and cloaks. These sets offer stylistic flair and potential stat boosts. You might find pieces from the TM-Earp, TM-Cogburn, or TM-Moss sets, each with unique aesthetics for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks.
Akelous, the Siren’s Current, offers a different loot pool. This activity features the Terminus Horizon Machine Gun and Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver Hand Cannon. The Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver is a powerful hand cannon known for its high impact and accuracy. Tex Mechanica armour sets are also available from Akelous.
Finally, Persys, Primordial Ruin, offers a chance at the Hierarchy of Needs Exotic Combat Bow. This bow features the “Apogee” perk, generating Guidance Ring energy on precision hits and shots against slowed or encased enemies. Legendary weapons like the Wilderflight Grenade Launcher and Liminal Vigil Sidearm are also available, along with more Tex Mechanica armour.
