Three new Pinnacle Weapons have been unveiled by Bungie and Destiny 2 players will be able to start grinding for them next week. Designed to be the best in their field, these firearms are rewarded to players who go the extra mile in a variety of activities. The Breakneck is the Gambit-focused weapon and will be quite a grind for those who want it.
This weapon is classified in the Precision Kinetic archetype and it possesses a unique perk called Onslaught. What this perk does is increase the rate of fire with every stack of Rampage you obtain. Since this firearm was designed for Gambit, the Onslaught perk will let you rapidly rip through hordes of enemies with little effort.
To start this quest you will need to go to the Drifter who assigns this mission. Once you obtain it you can begin grinding for this firearm during the entirety of the Season of the Forge.
Here’s how to obtain the Breakneck Auto Rifle in Destiny 2:
(Remember all of these steps can be finished simultaneously.)
1) Get 500 Auto Rifle Kills in Gambit
This first part of this quests tasks you with killing 500 enemies with an Auto Rifle. It doesn’t matter if that Auto Rifle is in the Kinetic or Energy slot, so use what gun you’re most comfortable with. Valkyrie 2008 movie hindi dubbed. If you’re not a big Auto Rifle user, here are a few in both slots we recommend trying out.
Kinetic
Hazard of the Cast
Horror Story
Tigerspite
Duty Bound
Origin Story
Energy
Uriel’s Gift

Destiny 2 Origin Story Auto Rifle Kit
For randomly rolled weapons, try to use ones with Ramage, Kill Clip, or Ambitious Assassin. All of these are solid perks and can give your gun a nice little boost. Remember, it’s counting any kills so Invaders, Blockers, Primevals, and general enemies all count. We suggest you stick to the PvE side of things and focus on killing Ads and banking motes.
Additionally, you can weaken Blockers with a shotgun or fusion rifle and then finish them off with an Auto Rifle. This step will take a bit of time, but it’s very doable – even for an inexperienced Gambit player.
2) 100 Auto Rifle Multi-Kills in Gambit
This part of the challenge requires you to obtain 100 multi kills with an Auto Rifle. Again, this should be a fairly easy step that just takes a bit of time. Multi-Kills consist of killing 2 enemies or more within about 2-3 seconds. This means focusing on smaller, less powerful foes is the way to go.
Try not to stress out about this step, as it’s not nearly as difficult as it sounds. Foes in Gambit tend to move in packs anyway, so use this to your advantage when killing them. When aiming at a foe, just be conscious of who you will shoot at right after this enemy dies. Don’t expect to get a ton of multi-kills every game, but try to aim for 5-8. Just stick to killing enemies and don’t bother with Invading unless you absolutely have to.
3) Kill 150 Challenging Enemies in Gambit
Your third major hurdle comes in the form of slaying 150 challenging enemies in Gambit. For the unfamiliar, a challenging enemy constitutes any foe that has a health bar above red. In Gambit, the most common challenging enemy you’ll come across is Blockers. Other challenging enemies include the High-Value Targets and any foe with an orange bar.
This means you will typically face a fair amount of challenging enemies during the second and third rounds. Make sure to always play the PvE role during these rounds, as you’ll have a higher ratio of challenging enemies to fight. Like the others, this is simply a matter of time and you’ll need to just grind matches.
4) Complete 40 Matches of Gambit
The final step for obtaining the Breakneck is just finishing 40 matches of Gambit. It does not matter if you win or lose, nor what weapon you use. Just complete 40 matches by the end of the season to finish this part of the quest.
Destiny 2 Top Auto Rifles
After you complete all the steps, head back to The Tower and speak to the Drifter. He will reward you with the Breakneck Auto Rifle

Destiny 2 is all about finding newer, better guns scattered throughout the solar system and across its many activities. There are a ton of great weapons already in the game, from Legendary guns you’ll find all over the place and in the Crucible, to highly prized Exotics you can only get from special drops or completing particular quests. And then there are guns that you’ll only find in the game’s six-person Leviathan raid and its new Raid Lairs, and from finishing its super-tough Trials of the Nine multiplayer tournament. From spiffy Exotics with unique perks to unassuming Legendary guns that turn out to be great, here are the best weapons in Destiny 2.

Kinetic weapons
MIDA Multi-Tool
You’ll find this Destiny gun after completing the Exotic quest you pick up in Earth’s EDZ, once you’ve completed the series of Quest missions that unlock after the main story campaign is complete. A scout rifle designed for quick movement and quicker reactions, it does serious damage when you ping headshots, whether you’re running around various planets or aiming at other players in the Crucible.
MIDA Multi-Tool has two primary benefits: When you’re aiming down the sights with this gun, your radar will remain active, allowing you to see incoming threats from other directions. It also has a perk that increases your movement speed when it’s equipped, and reloads super fast after you score a precision kill. It’s great for dealing high damage from afar with hit-and-run attacks before you get away from danger that would have otherwise caught you off guard.
Rat King
This Exotic weapon can be a handful to unlock, mostly because you need a pal who is also either doing the Rat King quest or has already unlocked the gun in order to receive it. You’ll receive the quest when you complete the Quest line on Titan after the story unlocks. It’s presented as a series of riddles, but the gist is, you need to complete Patrols, Public Events, Crucible matches, and the Nightfall with another player using Rat King. For the Nightfall, you need to finish it with five minutes or more on the timer.
Rat King is a pretty killer sidearm, with a quick firing rate and decent stability. Notch a kill with it and hit the reload button, and it’ll make you temporarily invisible, which is great for emergencies — especially in the Leviathan raid, which is full of swarms of tough enemies. But the best perk is that the more people on your team with Rat King, the stronger it becomes when you’re together. That means if you can get three (or even six in the raid) Fireteam members all equipped with Rat King, you increase its effectiveness significantly. Needless to say, it’s worth the struggle to unlock it.
Sweet Business
Hidden among regular auto rifles in Destiny 2 are firearms that are basically miniguns, and Sweet Business is one of the coolest. Sporting a magazine of 100 rounds, it’s great for melting big enemies by dumping a ton of ammo into them. You’ll also want to deploy it on tough missions with lots of enemies, such as Nightfalls, because it’s great for firing into a crowd and leaving nothing behind.
The longer you hold down the trigger on Sweet Business, the more powerful and more stable it becomes, so it pays to pick a target (or a few) and just unload on them. It doesn’t carry too much ammo — you’ll only be able to reload it two or so times before you need to hunt for ammo — but if you pick up ammo while firing, the gun will load it directly into the magazine. With increased hip-fire stability, this means you can walk around like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2, mowing things down with your minigun while grabbing spare ammo to keep the party going.
Vigilance Wing
This Exotic pulse rifle, which comes from random drops, is great for modes like Trials of the Nine, the Crucible, and Strikes where you’ll have a team with you. Its primary bonus is that, instead of firing a three-round burst, it fires five. If you’re a precise shooter, you can wreck enemies with it, and Crucible players will go down quicker than they expect thanks to the extra two rounds hitting them in the dome.
The Fireteam perks that come with Vigilance Wing are pretty cool as well. When a team member is killed, Vigilance Wing’s Harsh Truths perk restarts your health regeneration immediately and increases your movement speed, making it great for running to get resurrect teammates. You’ll also receive increased weapon performance when your teammates are all dead with the Last Stand perk, giving you more chances to make a comeback.
Sturm
This Exotic hand cannon comes from a quest you’ll earn after completing the three Quest missions that unlock on Nessus after finishing the main story campaign. On its own, Sturm is a bit of a letdown. It fires high-damage, high-impact rounds at good range, but its slow fire rate means you need to hang back to use it effectively.
Sturm’s a decent weapon, but its major perks come from the weapon you pair it with, Drang. Even if you don’t use Drang, Sturm has the benefit of automatically reloading your Energy weapon as you use the hand cannon to rack up kills, so you can quickly go from one weapon to the next without stopping to reload.
Origin Story
This Legendary auto rifle might pop up when you turn in Reputation tokens in the Tower, and it’s a pretty great gun to have around, especially when you need something solid to free up an Exotic slot for one of your other weapons. The Vanguard weapon is a reliable auto rifle with low recoil and good range, making it a great middle-of-the-road option for both the Crucible and fighting enemies around Destiny 2.
Rampage is the perk of note for Origin Story. As you notch kills with the gun, Rampage gives Origin Story a big damage increase that’ll stack up to three times. This makes it great in a variety of situations, especially if you can knock out several targets quickly. You can also opt for either the Flared Magwell perk, which increases reload speed significantly, or an Extended Magazine, depending on your style.
Garden Progeny 1
The first gun to come out of Curse of Osiris‘ lengthy series of Prophecy Tablet quests, which are only available once you’ve cleared most of the content in the expansion, is actually pretty good. Garden Progeny 1 is a weird-looking scout rifle that fires slowly, but hits very hard, and doesn’t have a ton of kickback. That makes it great for landing headshots from well out of the fight.
Garden Progeny 1 is pretty effective both in the course of story missions and in the Crucible. It makes for a great long-range alternative to an auto rifle, and while it might not be quite as effective as MIDA Multi-Tool, it’s a more versatile option that makes you effective at multiple ranges. You’ll get it from your first Lost Prophecy tablet — here’s a full guide on how to unlock it and the rest of the Lost Prophecy weapons.
Crimson
Crimson is one of those truly unique exotic guns, with all kinds of perks that set it apart from anything else. Banned Weapon gives Crimson, a hand cannon, a three-round burst rather than the weapon class’ standard, slow-firing shot. Cruel Remedy heals you every time Crimson bags a kill. If it’s a precision kill, you get more ammo in the magazine. That’s kind of ridiculous.
With those crazy perks, Crimson is great both in and out of the Crucible. The three-round burst aspect is especially helpful when you bring it to bear against other players, while the healing and reload perks make Crimson great for extended battles against hordes of aliens.
Like most of these weapons, you’ll find Crimson in an Exotic engram, or as a Powerful Milestone reward. As of the Warmind expansion, you can also unlock a Masterwork version of Crimson, which also will drop randomly in the world while you’re killing enemies.
Braytech Winter Wolf
Speaking of auto rifles, there’s another great one hidden in Warmind. The Braytech Winter Wolf is notable because it’s just so damn easy to use. A very stable, long-range auto rifle, the Winter Wolf comes with a precision frame that makes the kind of gun that lets you put bullet after bullet into the enemy’s head without having to struggle to stay on target. It’s also geared to dish out a lot of damage over time, with perks including Armor Piercing Rounds and High-Impact Reserves, making the gun great against shields and especially effective toward the end of the clip. In general, the Winter Wolf is effective from far away, packs a lot of damage and doesn’t kick around a lot, making it a great primary weapon both out in the world and in the Crucible.
You can find the Winter Wolf after unlocking the encrypted nodes scattered around Hellas Basin, which you can open once you gather up Resonant Stems. Those nodes have a chance to send you back to Ana Bray with an item you can trade in for one of her winter-themed weapons, and there’s a one-in-five chance it’ll be the Winter Wolf.
