Messenger, the legendary pulse rifle is back in the game. It is one of the best PVP weapons in the game and players are keen to know how to get Messenger in Destiny 2. It is now accessible through Trials of Osiris. However, the drops for this PVP weapon are limited to Trials of Osiris and hence farming is difficult.
Players can get the loot for Messenger at 3, 5, and 7 wins. The location rotates each week. Alternatively, you can also opt for the Trials Engram. This is one of the weekly bounties from Saint-14, the Trials vendor. There is also a simpler way to obtain the rewards –not exactly ideal but a Reddit user reported that by simply throwing the game away can also help earn the bounties.
Players can get a bounty from Saint-14 that actually guarantees the Messenger after 10 matches, regardless of result. So quickly killing one’s self is far easier than actually trying to win.
Read on as we discuss more about the weapon and the best perks available.
