The Destiny 2 Malediction weapon is a Legendary Hand Cannon with some pretty impressive God Rolls. Though, to get the Malediction, you’ll need to put in a bit of work, and by “a bit,” I mean “a lot.” You can only obtain the Malediction Hand Cannon by reaching max rank with one of the Vendors around the Tower that runs certain activities within the game. If you’re a fan of Vanguard, Crucible, or Gambit, then you won’t have too much to worry about. As for the rest of you, buckle up. You might be in for a bumpy ride. Let’s take a look at how to get the Malediction Hand Cannon in Destiny 2.
Getting Malediction in Destiny 2
There are a few different ways that you can obtain Malediction in Destiny 2. However, all of those methods include ranking up with someone in the Tower. Zavala, Shaxx, and the Drifter all offer Malediction as a reward for reaching Rank 16. However, reaching Rank 16 means that you’ll be maxing out your rank in that particular activity.
Each NPC runs a different activity. That said, you can get Malediction by reaching max rank in Vanguard, Crucible, or Gambit. You can increase your rank in all of these activities simply by participating in them. However, if you want to speed up the process, choose an activity that you perform particularly well in so you can get some wins, and in turn, faster ranking.
