The Final Warning Exotic Strand Sidearm in Destiny 2 Lightfall is a powerful primary weapon capable of tracking targets and unraveling combatants with Strand energy. To obtain this unique Exotic weapon, Guardians must complete the The Final Strand questline after finishing the main Lightfall campaign on Neptune. Following a few structured steps through Neomuna will allow players to master Strand and claim this top-tier sidearm for their arsenal.
Unlocking the Strand Subclass and Post-Campaign Requirements
Before Guardians can access the quest for Final Warning, they must first complete the main Lightfall campaign story missions. Completing the campaign grants full access to the Strand subclass on Neomuna, which is a fundamental requirement for starting the quest. Once Strand is unlocked, players need to acquire all available Strand Meditations from the Pouka Pond to fully upgrade their subclass abilities.
Starting The Final Strand Quest at the Pouka Pond
With all Strand upgrades acquired, players can interact with the Pouka Pond in Hall of Heroes on Neomuna to pick up The Final Strand quest. Nimbus will provide the initial instructions guiding Guardians toward investigating Strand anomalies across the city. The first major objective requires visiting the Veil Containment area to retrieve vital research data and clear out Shadow Legion forces.
Collecting Strand Energy and Completing Neomuna Activities
To progress through the middle stages of the quest, Guardians must harvest Strand energy by defeating combatants with Strand abilities throughout Neomuna. Participating in Public Events, Terminal Overload activities, and Lost Sectors accelerates your progress significantly while earning additional Neomuna rank. Defeating combatants with charged Strand attacks ensures that you gather the required energy samples quickly and efficiently.
Completing the Headlong Time Trial and Crafting Final Warning
The final challenge of the quest requires players to complete a special version of the Headlong activity within a specified time limit. Navigating the vex simulation successfully tests a player's mobility, Strand grapple precision, and combat speed under pressure. Upon clearing the time trial, Guardians return to the Pouka Pond in the Hall of Heroes to finish the quest and receive the Final Warning Exotic Sidearm.
