Destiny 2 players might want to visit Spider a couple of times in January to stock up on completed bounties for later this month. Although nothing has been confirmed, datamines of an upcoming exotic quest suggests players will need 10 Spider Bounties in order to progress further.
During the Season of Dawn, Destiny 2 players will unlock two exotic weapon quests. One of those quests will be for the Devil’s Ruin sidearm and will go live next Tuesday, January 7th. The other is for the Bastion exotic fusion rifle and it will go live on January 28th.
The Devil’s Ruin quest seems fairly straightforward but the Bastion quest has some steeper requirements. One of those Bastion quest steps involves completing 10 bounties from the Tangled Shore vendor, Spider.
Under normal circumstances accumulating 10 bounties from Spider might seem relatively easy but those Destiny 2 players that want to unlock Bastion immediately should prepare. Pick up and complete 10 of Spider’s bounties sometime between now and January 28th and keep them in your inventory.
It’s important to stock up on the Spider bounties because they cost Ghost Fragments and there is a limit on how many of those fragments that players can hold. Some of Spider’s bounties are also much easier to complete as well, so players may not want to spend a lot of time running around the solar system when they want to jump right into unlocking Bastion.
Of course, players don’t yet know if Bastion will be worth the effort, even if it is an exotic to add to the collection. This weekend, a Destiny 2 fan shared some brief gameplay of Bastion in action and the fusion rifle does sport a cool looking charge animation. Its perks also sound like they could be useful in PvP when trying to deal with more than one Crucible opponent.
In PvE, on the other hand, it’s yet to be seen how viable Bastion will be. Using a fusion rifle instead of one of the other popular PvE weapons in Destiny 2 Season of Dawn like the Izanagi’s Burden exotic sniper rifle.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
