Need help completing the Midnight Ride quest to obtain the Midnight Coup hand cannon in Destiny 2 Into the Light? We've got you covered.
Destiny's Into the Light DLC has brought back iconic weapons from the game's history, including the Midnight Coup hand cannon as part of the BRAVE arsenal.
Let's break down everything you need to know to complete the Midnight Ride quest. While you're here, check out how to complete the Climbing the Mountaintop quest as well.
How to complete the Midnight Ride quest in Destiny 2
Similar to other BRAVE arsenal quests, you'll have two options to complete it, this time both are for PvE.
- Rapidly defeat combatants using hand cannons anywhere in the system. Bonus progress for rapid final blows in Onslaught
- Defeat combatants in raids and dungeons
The in-game quest wrongly states the quest can be completed in PvP, according to Bungie.
Both are easily doable, but let's recommend methods for both.
Best way to farm hand cannon kills in Destiny 2
Destiny 2 players often use specific hot spots to quickly gather additional enemies and finish them off swiftly.
As with our Mountaintop guide, if you don't have access to some paid content, I suggest either playing the Onslaught activity or participating in the Altars of Sorrow public event on the Moon. Both of these activities are free for all players.
Getting hand cannon kills in difficult activities can be tricky, so if you feel like you're dragging your team down in Onslaught, especially during the harder waves, then consider swapping to Altars of Sorrow to finish off the quest. Do keep in mind they need to be rapid kills, meaning you need to score multikills constantly.
If you have access to the Grasp of Avarice dungeon or The Last Wish raid, then either the opening section of Grasp or the Shuro Chi checkpoint in Last Wish should be your go-tos.
Best hand cannons in Destiny 2
There are some clear standouts to help you get this one done real fast. Things like Sunshot or Ace of Spades are two of the best hand cannons in the game to rack up fast kills, but there are other options to keep in mind if you don't have access to these exotics.
- Sunshot
- Ace of Spades
- Epochal Integration
- Rose
- Eyesluna
