Lotus-Eater is the latest rocket-assisted sidearm added into Destiny 2 and this one is void, meaning it’s going to be excellent for Void builds. This one excels in PVE with the right rolls and today I’m going to check out the stats, perks, god rolls, plus how to get Lotus-Eater in Destiny 2.
How to get Lotus-Eater
To get this one you’ll want to complete Nightfalls when Lotus-Eater is the featured weapon for the week. When you defeat the final boss, you’ll have a chance at Lotus-Eater dropping for you. The higher the difficulty Nightfall, the more likely the weapon will drop. You’ll have the chance to get an Adept version from a Grandmaster Nightfall. Once you have obtained it as a reward when it is the featured weekly weapon, you can focus it at Commander Zavala in the Tower for 5 Vanguard Engrams and 25,000 Glimmer.
