Want to get your hands on the retuning The Palindrome hand cannon in Destiny 2? In this guide, we'll break down the god roll you should be looking for.
With the start of week 4 of Episode Heresy in Destiny 2, Grandmaster Nightfalls have arrived. Alongside them, is the return of a fan-favorite hand cannon with some major changes.
How to get The Palindrome in Destiny 2
The only way to obtain the Palindrome hand cannon in Destiny 2 is by completing the weekly Nightfall.
The Palindrome is back
It's essentially a more challenging version of the Vanguard Ops content playlist with different, tougher modifiers, including Champions. You'll need to set the proper Episode Heresy artifact mods unlocked to try this content.
After unlocking The Palindrome for the first time, you can focus your Vanguard Engrams to obtain more versions from Zavala at the Tower. Although it may be costly, this is an effective way to increase your chances of getting the Palindrome god roll if you're specifically hunting for it. The cost to focus decode one reward drop is as follows:
- Five Vanguard engrams
- 25k Glimmer
If it's the featured weekly weapon, you'll be able to decode it for the following:
- One Vanguard engram
- One Nightfall Cipher (Adept)
The Adept version of The Palindrome is also up for grabs (and will be anytime the hand cannon is obtainable via GM Nightfalls). The price for decoding it is the following:
- One Vanguard engram
- 50k Glimmer
- 10 Nightfall Cipher's (Adept)
The Power Level required for each difficulty of Nightfalls during Episode Heresy is as follows:
- Advanced: 2015PL (Uncommon drop)
- Expert: 2025 (Common drop)
- Master: 2030PL (Common drop)
On top of that, Grandmaster Nightfalls are available for players who reach 2040 PL. If you complete the Grandmaster Nightfall, you'll gain access to an Adept version of the The Palindrome.
