Black Talon Exotic Sword - How to Obtain in Destiny 2
Black Talon is an exotic Sword in Destiny 2 Forsaken. It’s one of the truly new weapons, not just a remake of one from the first game. It’s an ornamented, slightly curved sword that has the ability to shoot energy projectiles that do void damage. It you’re interested in its stats and perks, or where to find it, keep reading our Destiny 2 Black Talon exotic sword guide.
Where to find Black Talon in Destiny 2?
Sadly, the only way to get the Black Talon is to wait for it to drop from an exotic engram. Yep, it’s one of those. Prepare to grind your eyes out. To make matters worse, it seems like Bungie has nerfed the rewards from heroic public events – the only things we got from them since the launch of Forsaken were blue items and planetary tokens. This means we’re left with one less source of exotic engrams. At this point, your best bet would be to just roam around, kill high value targets and do strikes. The Nightfall still has the best chance of dropping exotic engrams, but it’s a tough challenge.
Black Talon exotic weapon stats & perks
It’s a proper oddity, the Black Talon. You can use it in melee, like a normal sword, but you can also shoot void projectiles. It uses up a lot of ammo, though, so you shouldn’t waste the projectiles on frivolous things. Thankfully, the Tireless Blade trait makes powered sword kills grant you sword ammo. The Tempered Edge perk gives you increased sword damage and ammo, while the Heavy Guard perk influences the amount of damage you can soak up. The block is pretty sturdy, and it doesn’t look like it uses up too much ammo. It’s a nice thing to have, especially if you’re used to rocket launchers and such.

how can my friend get it pls tell me i have but helping her out
Got it just now from gambit, but I was using the telesto vs the primeval, then pop, a gold engram comes out of him. I didn’t even know this sword was a thing, but it looks cool.
I actually got it from a reg vanguard strike by using my sword on the final boss. Dont know if that helps, but worth a try. I’ve been grinding for months and finally got it so stick in there if you havent.
I never get anything and i did 40 strikes in one day
Meh, got Two Tailed Fox today, so I’m no longer farming for this
Just awesome as can be.Thanks Bungie.
