Destiny 2 Perfect Paradox Guide – Legendary Shotgun

What’s so good about Saint-14’s weapon? Well, if you’re not a lore buff, then the draw of this shotgun is its active perks of Rapid-Fire Frame and Rampage. Sure Rapid Fire Frame just gives you faster reload when your clip is empty, but Rampage means that when you get kills with the Perfect Paradox, you get a buff to your overall damage and this buff will stack up to three times

To get the Perfect Paradox Legendary shotgun, you’re going to have to finish the Legends Lost questline. This involves doing something called completing Verses, which you acquire as tasks from Brother Vance after you’ve cleared yourself for Heroic Adventures and finished the Curse of Osiris DLC story quest called Omega. To complete a Verse, you’ll be tasked with finding specific resources between Radioladian Culture, Paradox Amplifiers, and Hermaion Blossoms and turning them in to Brother Vance and his Weapon Forge. Here are the steps needed to unlock the Perfect Paradox:

  1. Complete four Verses
  2. Pick up the quest Another Verse from Brother Vance
  3. Finish the Signal Light quest
  4. Fetch 2 Advanced Paradox Amplifier, 2 Hermaion Blossoms and 2 Concentrated Radiolarian Culture
  5. Finish the quest Not Even the Darkness
  6. Bring Saint-14’s belongings back to Brother Verse
  7. Forge Perfect Paradox at the Weapon Forge

Now that you have our guide on how to pick up the Destiny 2 Perfect Paradox weapon, it should just be a matter of kicking over to Brother Vance and knocking out some of that legacy content.
