In Destiny 2’s Raid, The Desert Perpetual’s final boss, Whirling Ovation, can only be obtained randomly and it’s exclusive to those who own The Edge of Fate. Each character gets only one opportunity per week to get this Exotic Rocket Launcher, so farming for it by repeatedly defeating the final boss isn’t an option. To maximize the chance of obtaining Whirling Ovation, players should aim to reach a checkpoint in the final encounter and complete it on all three characters. Although Bungie doesn’t disclose the exact drop rate, community data suggests it’s about 5%. However, by completing associated Triumphs for The Desert Perpetual Title, you can enhance the initial drop chance for Whirling Ovation. Here are some Triumphs players can accomplish to boost the likelihood of Whirling Ovation dropping:
1. Complete the raid without dying (The Conqueror)
2. Acquire a specific number of raid-specific kills (e.g., Solar Singe, Arc Shield, Void Suppression)
3. Perform certain actions during the raid, such as activating specific mechanisms or defeating specific enemies (e.g., The Unstoppable Force)
4. Complete additional challenges within the raid (e.g., complete the raid with a specific subclass, complete it in a certain amount of time)
By accomplishing these Triumphs, players can improve their chances of obtaining Whirling Ovation when they encounter the final boss in The Desert Perpetual Raid.
