Three Legendary Shards

My story of patience is something more recent and is still happening to this day. Some background I play a popular looter shooter called Destiny 2 and in the game, you play as characters called guardians as you battle against the forces of darkness using guns and space magic. While you are doing all this you are on the lookout for loot-like weapons and armor which have random perk and stat rolls. This story pertains to the random perk rolls on the different guns that you can obtain while playing. The game and my hunt for a god roll, which is when the gun has the 4 perfect perks and the desired masterwork for it.

It all started when the 30th-anniversary update came out celebrating the 30th anniversary of Bungie the developers of Destiny 2. With this update, they added multiple new and returning weapons and when they did I knew I needed to get the coveted god roll on all of them. first I’ll talk about all the returning weapons the first gun I was hunting for is the Eyasluna a hand cannon from Destiny 1. The only way to get this weapon and the other one ill be talking about is through the new dungeon The Grasp of Avarice and the Eyasluna can only drop from the boss at the end which can talk up to 30 minutes to reach on a fresh run. But fortunately for the other gun, I want to Matador-64 a shotgun it drops from the first boss in the dungeon. But these bosses can drop armor so it’s a gamble to get these weapons and then when you do get it you most of the time don’t even get the god roll and it just becomes 3 legendary shards and 3 gunsmith materials.

Now onto the new weapons, the new ones I’m looking for are the BXR-55 Battler and the Other Half sword. These both drop from a chest in Xur’s treasure hoard but to open the chest to get a chance at one you need to play an activity called Dares of Eternity. Dares is a game show-styled activity where you fight gauntlets of enemies ending in a boss fight. After you clear, a run of Dares you get a treasure key which gives one gun from a pool of 6 guns and I’m currently hunting for two of them. Over the course of my search, I’ve gotten multiple BXR’s but none have been the exact roll I’m looking for but I’ve gotten close to getting the perfect roll but the Other Half is another story. The Other Half is a sword that can come with some really good perk combos, but it has a lower drop chance than the other weapons. So I haven’t gotten a single one and when I do there is a chance that it won’t have the god roll or even a good role so then I have to hunt another one. So to this day all I do is sit and patiently wait and grind away hunting for these god rolls.
