The Ice Breaker Exotic weapon has made its return to Destiny 2 alongside the launch of the Episode Revenant Act 1 season, though it comes with a few changes from its original Destiny counterpart. Here is how to get the Ice Breaker Exotic sniper rifle in Destiny 2.
How to Unlock Ice Breaker Exotic Sniper Rifle in Destiny 2
The Ice Breaker Exotic can be unlocked by completing the Vesper’s Host dungeon, which can only be accessed by purchasing The Final Shape + Annual Pass edition. This includes both the latest expansion and the Vesper’s Host Dungeon Key.
Players can then grab the Rogue Network quest from Spider in the Last City, which will unlock the Vesper’s Host node on the Europa planet. You will also need to be at 1985 Power Level, which is the cap for all encounters for the dungeon, and make your own Fireteam, as there is no automatic matchmaking.
The Ice Breaker can drop after defeating the Vesper’s Host boss, The Corrupted Puppeteer, though it is not a guaranteed reward. There is a chance that it can drop, but players will have to beat the dungeon again for another chance. Players only get to finish the dungeon once per week on one character, so players can try three times per week with three characters.
How to Increase Ice Breaker Chance in Destiny 2
The chance for the Exotic weapon to drop will increase every time the dungeon is completed and does not drop. Players can also complete the following Triumphs to increase the Ice Breaker drop rate:
- Alone in the Dark: Complete all Vesper’s Host encounters solo without leaving the activity.
- Buried Secrets: Collect all six Collectibles within the dungeon.
- Stationmaster: Complete Vesper’s Host on Master difficulty.
