How to unlock the Epochal Integration Hand Cannon in Destiny 2

The Parting the Veil quest consists of four steps:
- Defeat Cabal on Neomuna to get Vex tracking data.
- Go to Maya’s Retreat and collect Vex data from a Vex conduit.
- Go to Irkalla Complex and collect more Vex data from another Vex conduit.
- Complete the Parting the Veil mission activity from the flag near the Vex conduit.
