Today In Destiny 2, Guardians can face the challenges of the Master Spire of the Watcher. This pinnacle activity offers high-level rewards, including Artifice Armor, making it a worthwhile endeavor for those seeking powerful gear.
The Master Spire of the Watcher comes with a unique set of modifiers designed to test even the most seasoned players. Boosts are active, providing an initial exotic drop rate boost of 3x. However, you’ll need to contend with shielded foes wielding Arc and Void shields, with the possibility of additional shield types depending on the active modifiers.
Overcharged weapons from the Seasonal Artifact are also active in this activity. Kinetic weapons will deal increased damage when your Super element aligns with an active surge. This encourages strategic loadout customization to maximize damage output. Master modifiers further amplify the difficulty, introducing extra Champions and extra shields. Be prepared to encounter both Barrier and Overload Champions. Equip the appropriate anti-Champion mods to counter these formidable adversaries.
Machine Guns receive a 25% damage buff due to the Overcharged Machine Gun modifier. Furthermore, both Arc and Strand surges are active, providing a 25% damage bonus to outgoing Arc and Strand damage, respectively. Adapting your subclass and weapon choices to these surges will significantly impact your success.
Completing the Master Spire of the Watcher offers chances at powerful weaponry and Tex Mechanica armor 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 a dependable weapon for engaging enemies at a distance. Its precision and range make it a valuable asset in the Spire’s vertical environments. The Terminus Horizon Machine Gun, a heavy-hitting weapon, delivers sustained firepower to suppress enemy advances and melt through tougher foes. Lastly, the Seventh Seraph Carbine, a versatile auto rifle, offers a balanced approach to combat, effective at both close and medium ranges.
Alongside these weapons, various Tex Mechanica armor pieces are available, including helmets, gauntlets, leg armor, chest pieces, and cloaks. These armor sets provide both stylistic flair and potential stat boosts to customize your Guardian’s appearance and abilities. You might find pieces from the TM-Earp, TM-Cogburn, or TM-Moss sets. Each set offers unique aesthetic options for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks.
Akelous, the Siren’s Current, offers a different loot pool for Guardians seeking alternative rewards. 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, making it a formidable weapon in skilled hands. Tex Mechanica armor sets are also available from Akelous.
Finally, Persys, Primordial Ruin, presents a chance to acquire the Hierarchy of Needs Exotic Combat Bow. This unique bow features the “Apogee” perk, which allows precision hits and shots against slowed or encased enemies to generate Guidance Ring energy.
