It fires fast and you’ll take down enemies in PVP and PVE very quickly. Today I want to take a closer look at the weapon, the stats, perks, god rolls plus how to get Patron of Lost Causes in Destiny 2.

How to get Patron of Lost Causes
To get this one you’ll have to take part in Echoes Activities, plus you can decrypt Echoes Engrams at Failsafe in the H.E.L.M. This one is also a craftable weapon meaning you’ll need to extract the 5 red borders of the weapon to get the pattern, and then you can craft Patron of Lost Causes at The Enclave on Savathun’s Throne World.
