Destiny 2 Episode Heresy: A Comprehensive Guide to The Nether Rewards

Destiny 2 Episode Heresy introduces a thrilling new activity called The Nether, set within the eerie corridors of the Dreadnaught. This three-player activity offers a unique roguelike experience with dynamic encounters, escalating challenges, and an array of exciting rewards. Here's a detailed look at what you can earn by diving into The Nether:

Seasonal Weapons

The Nether is your gateway to acquiring ten new weapons, six of which are craftable, providing players with the opportunity to customize their gear to their playstyle. Notable among these are:

• Adamantite Auto Rifle: Known for its Support Frame trait, which heals allies upon defeating enemies.
• Psychopomp: A unique weapon with its own set of perks2.

Adept Weapons

For those brave enough to tackle the hardest version of The Nether, Adept versions of these weapons are up for grabs. These come with different visuals, an extra-origin trait slot, and multiple perks, making them highly desirable.

Sigil Shards

Opening chests during your runs in The Nether will reward you with Sigil Shards, a new currency type. These shards can be used to purchase permanent upgrades for your Nether runs, enhancing your experience and rewards.

Tome of Want

The Nether contributes to unlocking and upgrading the Tome of Want, this season's main progression system. Completing activities in The Nether helps you unlock and upgrade this tome, which in turn provides access to more rewards3.

Exotic Weapons

Episode Heresy brings four exotic weapons into play, with two directly tied to The Nether activity. One exotic comes from the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, and another is a reprised weapon from Destiny 13.

Exploration Rewards

The Nether features exploration modes where players can engage with the space like a patrol zone, offering rewards at every stage, including loot-filled chests.

Boons

Players can obtain Boons, powerful buffs that enhance abilities, damage, and weapon effectiveness. Some Boons come with drawbacks, requiring strategic choices.

Secrets and Puzzles

The Dreadnaught exploration in The Nether includes secrets, puzzles, and collectibles, which can lead to additional rewards.

Ravenous Secret
