Destiny 2: Shadowkeep did away with the all-powerful Pinnacle weapons of old, replacing them with the less powerful Ritual weapons. These unique legendaries still pack a punch, however, and that’s particularly true for the Destiny 2: Season of Dawn Ritual weapons. These three guns have unique looks and perks for Guardians to chase, but getting them requires a lot of work. In this Destiny 2 guide, we’ll go over how to get the Buzzard Vanguard Ritual sidearm, Komodo-4FR Crucible Ritual linear fusion rifle, and Python Gambit Ritual shotgun below, and we’ll also detail all Ritual weapon perks.
