Destiny 2: Thunderlord is back for players who completed the Murder of Master Ives questline

The Exotic machine gun Thunderlord is back in Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 players who enjoyed using the Thunderlord Exotic machine gun in Destiny 1 will be pleased to know it has made a return.

Rumors of the gun coming back to the game surfaced earlier this month, and of course, proved to be true.

Destiny 2 players who completed the final phase of the Murder of Master Ives questline will receive the weapons as a reward.

The quest kicked off during the Festival of the Lost event with the quest Journal of the Reef Cryptarch. In order to claim their prize, players will need to go to the Cosmodrome in Old Russia and fight waves of enemies and the Fallen boss.

How do you get it? Beat all of the aforementioned baddies, earn the Exotic Engram from the murdered Master Ives, and decrypt it into Thunderlord. Pretty simple.

As Arekkz notes in his video, perks for the machine gun is stronger this time out and lightning still plays a part. The intrinsic perk Rein Havoc will generate lightning strikes from above. Its trait, Lightning Rounds, sees the weapon fire faster and more accurately the longer the trigger is held down with continuous damage generating lighting strikes.

Kills with the weapon also increase reload time for a short while.

When Black Armory arrives in December, more machine guns will make it into the game.
