Having a powerful arsenal in games like Destiny 2 is important as knowing how to play the game itself. Players can choose different types of weapons in the game depending on their play style. If you prefer sniper rifles, you must at least try the Exotic Cloudstrike, and here is how to get it in Destiny 2.

How to Get Cloudstrike Exotic Sniper Rifle in Destiny 2

Cloudstrike comes with the Mortal Polarity buff, which basically causes a damaging lighting strike whenever you score a precision final blow. This sniper rifle has an Impact of 55, Handling of 51, Reload Speed of 46, Magazine of 7, Range of 64, and Stability of 54. It is one of the best sniper rifles you must get if you usually carry one with you.

The Exotic sniper rifle, Cloudstrike, was added to the game as part of Destiny 2: Beyond Light. To get this fantastic weapon, you must speak to Variks first to start the Old Secrets, New Challenges mission.

The good thing is once you’ve got the mission, the game itself will guide you to go where next and what to do. Like every other mission, follow along after the Exo challenge starts. Then find the Exo Stranger and pick up another quest titled A Hard Rain Falls.

This quest requires players to kill enemies or beat activities in Ecplise Zones on Europa. Once you finish them, the Sabotage quests become available from Variks. Then you must beat European Explorer 1 and 2 in order.

Once you’ve completed European Explorer 1 and 2, you will gain access to Elective Difficulty Empire Hunts. This is the mission you will get the Cloudstrike on. You must grind on this mission as long as you get the Exotic Cloudstrike sniper rifle in Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
