Given how unique and interesting the Microcosm Exotic Heavy Trace Rifle is in Destiny 2: The Final Shape, it’s no surprise that everyone wants it. However, getting it isn’t exactly the most simple task, and you’ll definitely need some help from a couple of friends if you’re going to do it.
How To Get Microcosm
Before you can get your hands on Microcosm, you’ll need to progress through the Final Shape quest until you meet Micah-10. From there, you’ll need to complete the Convalescence Quests. There are several quests, and the final one is called Convalescence: Budding. Completing Convalescence: Budding rewards you with Microcosm.
To make it through Convalescence: Budding, you’ll need to complete the three Final Shape campaign missions in Cooperative Focus mode. That said, you’ll be completing Ascent, Dissent, and Iconoclasm on Cooperative Focus mode. With a goal to uproot the Witness’s forces one more time, you’ll want to ensure that you have at least Power level 2000 for these missions, otherwise you’ll have a really rough time.
It’s also very important to note that while you can participate in these missions solo or with a 2-person fireteam, it much more difficult, as the activity’s difficulty is scaled for three people, whether you have them with you or not.
