Kicking today, February 4, 2025, Destiny 2’s third and final episode features new story beats, new activities, and new weapons and armor.
This guide covers all Heretical weapons from Episode 3 and tells you how to best farm them.

Echoes weapons also feature a unique Origin trait, Willing Vessel:
Dealing damage or defeating targets with this weapon gradually grants increased stability, handling, reload speed, and recharge rate. This effect gradually decreases over time but is gained more quickly near allies.
How to get Adept Heretic Weapons
The Nether activity can also drop Adept versions of the Heretical Arsenal. Think of Adapt Heresy weapons as a combination of standard Adepts and Into the Light Shinny variants. Heretical Adepts offer:
- A unique color treatment (akin to Into the Light Shinnies)
- Multiple Perks per column
- An Extra Origin Trait
- Can slot Fragile Mods (powerful mods that will expire at the of the Episode)
What’s better is that you don’t have to do anything specific to get an Adept Heretical weapon. These can drop randomly by exploring the Nether, using the Tome of Want, and earning Seasonal reputation.
Adept Drop Rates
According to Bungie, tackling higher difficulties increases the chances of getting Adepts, but drop rates appear to be generous, even in Expert mode. Based on community tests, Adepts have an estimated 34% Drop rate. Of the 200 chests tracked by user Ashamed-Ad4956, 68 dropped an Adept Weapon.
How to get Heretical weapons
Unlike older Seasons that were plagued with confusing currencies and gameplay loops (and Revenant’s horrendous tonic recipes), Episode: Heresy features a streamlined farming system. This system comes with fewer currencies and items to deal with and is, hands down, much simpler to understand. In a nutshell, there are mainly three methods to acquire Heretical weapons:
- Completing Heretical activities, including The Nether activity
- Increasing your Seasonal reputation
Additionally, you can focus the weapon at the Tome of Want for an additional cost by using Scriptures, making it worthwhile to gather materials to get your hands on a good roll of a specific weapon.
