Obtaining Graviton Spike and its internal enhancements in Destiny 2: A guide for acquisition
In Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Edge of Fate, players can obtain the highly sought-after Graviton Spike exotic hand cannon. This guide will walk you through the steps to find and acquire each weapon part and its intrinsic upgrades.
## Acquiring the Graviton Spike Exotic Hand Cannon
To start your journey, complete the main campaign of The Edge of Fate on either Normal or Legendary difficulty. This will unlock the Exotic quest, Graviton Through the Ages [1][3][4]. Ensure your Rosetta ability is level 3 to progress with the quest [1].
Visit the Altar of Relativity on Kepler and speak with Lodi and The Emeritus in the Caldera social hub [1][3]. The quest will then lead you to explore different areas, solve puzzles, and track down a weapon part in each of Kepler's main regions [3].
## Acquiring Intrinsic Upgrades
The Graviton Spike's intrinsic upgrades are spread across three areas on Kepler: The Caldera, The Stellar Sink, and Curtilage Divide [2][4].
In The Caldera, find the upgrades by shooting Arc-coated plants with the Arc mode of the Graviton Spike, then switching to Stasis mode and continuing to shoot until it breaks. Look for an opening to the right (Matterspark), then crawl through the hole in ball form and shoot another plant [2][4].
In The Stellar Sink, land at the Assimilated Easement landing zone, take the middle path down to the Stellar Sink, use Mattermorph to open the way, then take the Matterspark shortcut on the left. Find a round door at the far end, to the right of the infested pillar. Inside, shoot a mysterious plant with the Graviton Spike, quickly head inside the Matterspark shortcut by the root, and grab the upgrade [2][4].
In Curtilage Divide, more specific instructions for this location are not detailed in the provided sources, but it involves similar steps of shooting plants with the Graviton Spike in specific modes to unlock hidden pathways [2][4].
These upgrades allow you to customize the weapon's stats via the Enclave, enhancing its performance in combat [4].
Throughout the quest, players will gain the ability to transform into a Matterspark, which is used in the puzzles. Each weapon part search area has a black substance that needs to be searched [4].
The quest consists of four main steps to find weapon parts in Kepler's main regions. To get the Relocator, Mattermorph is needed and it can be found behind a big red drum in the corner. The second Temporal Manipulation intrinsic upgrade is in the Curtilage Divide in Exiles Accord. The Relocator can be used to pass through the laser door in the basement to search the black substance [4].
The third weapon part is in Exile's Accord, and involves Mattermorphing through portals, killing a Rosetta Sentry, and using a Relocator to progress. The fourth weapon part is in the Central Academy, and involves killing Vex instead of a Rosetta Sentry [4].
The first weapon part is in the Outer Steppes, and involves triangulating its location and interacting with symbol consoles. A Relocator can be found in a cage hanging from a crane in the next courtyard with the Wyvern [4].
The final weapon part is in the Gorge, and involves Mattermorphing through tunnels and interacting with symbol consoles. With each part collected, you're one step closer to unlocking the full potential of the Graviton Spike exotic hand cannon [4].
The Graviton Through the Ages quest concludes with the Graviton Spike exotic hand cannon as the final reward [4]. Happy hunting, Guardians!
