Destiny 2 is no stranger to amazing weapons and interesting cosmetics. While the current Witch Queen expansion introduced several intriguing items and a campaign, the majority of fans had their eye on one particular weapon, Quicksilver Storm. This Exotic Kinetic Auto Rifle was first introduced to fans back in August 2022 with the official Lightfall expansion reveal.

The Quicksilver Storm isn't your typical Auto Rifle. Due to being an Exotic weapon, it's currently one of the most sought-after guns in the game, boasting solid damage numbers as well as range statistics. In addition to these impressive stats, the Auto Rifle also comes with several useful perks that give its wielder advantages in combat.


Obtaining the Quicksilver Storm Auto Rifle in Destiny 2

Presently, the only way to get the Quicksilver Storm Exotic rifle in Destiny 2 is by pre-ordering the Lightfall and the Annual Pass combo. However, that's not the only reward for players who pre-purchase the expansion. Those who do so will also gain access to the Neomuna Nights Legendary emblem, Speed Metal Ghost Shell, and Tangled Strands emote.

To pre-order it, you can head over to the game's official page on Steam and purchase the expansion. Currently, it offers two options for players looking to get their hands on the Lightfall expansion, which are Destiny 2: Lightfall (for $49.99) and Destiny 2: Lightfall + Annual Pass (for $99.99).

Users who pre-order the latter will be able to access the Quicksilver Storm Exotic weapon in the game immediately.
