Last Rite: A Desired Ritual Weapon
Last Rite is one of the Destiny 2 ritual weapons in Season of the Deep, and it has garnered significant attention from fans of Aggressive Scout Rifles. However, obtaining this coveted weapon is not a simple task. It requires reaching a high reputation rank with various vendors in the game, which demands hours of dedicated grinding.
Many players have come across Last Rite on social media or during their clan activities. This Legendary version of Dead Man’s Tale maintains the same fire rate and appearance as the Exotic counterpart. In this article, we will explore how to acquire Last Rite, its perks, ornament options, and the optimal playstyle for both PvE and PvP.
Acquiring the Destiny 2 Last Rite Scout Rifle
To obtain Last Rite, you must achieve Rank 16 reputation with Commander Zavala, Lord Shaxx, or the Drifter. This can be accomplished by participating in their respective activities: Vanguard Ops and Nightfalls for Zavala, Crucible for Shaxx, and Gambit for the Drifter.
Engaging in consecutive activities of the same type will yield greater reputation rewards, making it advisable to focus on a single activity if possible.
Season of the Deep Reputation Boosts:
- The Vanguard ornament, Warrior Rubric, can be earned by resetting your Vanguard Rank with Commander Zavala. Resetting requires claiming all rewards from the vendor, so be sure to collect any desired cosmetics. Once you reach the maximum rank, resetting again will earn you the ornament.
- The Crucible ornament, Duelist Rubric, is obtained by resetting your rank with Lord Shaxx. The process is similar to Zavala's, and it is recommended to reset after gaining one or two ranks, as the Duelist Rubric is relatively low compared to other options.
- The Gambit ornament, Outcast Rubric, is earned by resetting your rank with the Drifter. Unlike the other vendors, the Drifter grants the Outcast Rubric even at max level, eliminating the need for a second reputation grind.
Optimal Playstyle for Last Rite
Unfortunately, Last Rite's perks are not particularly powerful for PvP encounters. While it boasts specific perks like Full Bore for the barrel and Ricochet Rounds for the magazine, the combination of Keep Away and Opening Shot falls short of exceptional. PvP enthusiasts who favor Last Rite may find Aggressive Scout Rifles such as The Showrunner or Stolen Fortune better suited to the pace of PvP battles.
In PvE, however, Last Rite proves to be a reliable choice. The recommended combination of Reconstruction and Focused Fury maximizes its potential. Reconstruction allows for passive weapon reloads, while Focused Fury provides a damage buff for precision hits. Additionally, Last Rite benefits significantly from Kinetic Weapon Surge mods on leg armor and the Solar's Radiant buff. Therefore, engaging in more challenging activities like Heroic Strikes and Nightfalls during the grinding process is advisable.
Now that you are equipped with the knowledge of how to obtain Last Rite, it's time to delve into the Season of the Deep. Our Destiny 2 Season of the Deep review showcases the new content, including the Deep Space Expedition and the Last Rite quest. Furthermore, if you find yourself struggling in higher difficulties like Legend and Master, we offer valuable tips for grinding reputation in Destiny 2.
