Avast Guardians, Season of Plunder is here! This space pirate-themed Destiny 2 season is all about crossing blades with Fallen House of Salvation, hunting for buried treasure, and working with everyone’s favorite scoundrel, the Drifter. Of course, there is a bunch of new loot to chase and activities to complete. Of course, the biggest piece of content added into the game is the reprised raid from the original Destiny, King’s Fall. Set aboard Oryx’s ship, this raid is considered by many to be one of the best activities in the franchise’s history. Here’s how to unlock the King’s Fall exotic weapon Touch of Malice in Destiny 2:

How to Get Touch of Malice

Similar to other Destiny 2 raids, the Touch of Malice is a random drop at the end of the final encounter. Originally tied to a quest in the first game, Touch of Malice now only drops from the chest that spawns after you slay Oryx. It’s not a guaranteed drop, so don’t expect everyone to snag one right away. Additionally, you can only try for Touch of Malice once a week per character. Meaning if you have three characters you will have three chances per week. Obviously, this isn’t ideal, but most raid exotic weapons are designed to be rare and give you a reason to consistently play them.

Fro the unfamiliar, the Touch of Malice is slightly different in Destiny 2 than the original. While this gun will still siphon the user’s life for increased damage, it will also charge a Taken blight. You can then release this blight with the weapon’s alternate firing mode to shroud your foes in darkness along with blinding them. This will give the Touch of Malice a bit more utility than before and possibly make it quite effective in endgame activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls or other raids.
