For some time now, each Season ofDestiny 2has brought players ritual weapons that they can spend time grinding to acquire and use. While there were originally ritual weapons unique to each Core Playlist, Bungie has since changed it so that there is only one across all playlists.
So as a result, players can now choose an activity and focus on it in order to get the latest ritual weapon. For Season of the Seraph,the ritual weaponis an Energy Pulse Rifle called Veles-X. Here is howDestiny 2players can get their hands on this highly versatile weapon.

How to Get Veles-X
Since Veles-X is a ritual weapon, players will need to pick either Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard Ops/Nightfalls and grind them for a very long time. to get Veles-X,Destiny 2players must reach Rank 16 (Legend)inone of the three Core Playlists. OnceDestiny 2players reach Rank 16, they must go speak with Zavala, Drifter, or Lord Shaxx and claim Veles-X. The NPC that players will talk to will depend on which playlist players got Rank 16 in.
Since Veles-X is always a Masterworked ritual weapon, the perks that come on the gun are fixed.Destiny 2players will always have Repulser Brace and Tunnel Vision in the first column. In the second column, Veles-X will always have Golden Tricorn and Kill Clip. Finally, players have a choice betweenfour different Origin traits. The four Origin traits for Veles-X are Hakke Breach Armaments, Vanguard’s Vindication, One Quiet Moment, and Gun and Run.
How to Get Weapon Ornaments for Veles-X
Just like with all previous ritual weapons, Veles-X has three unique Weapon Ornaments thatDestiny 2players can acquire. In previous Seasons like Season of the Splicer, players had to complete a quest to get the Weapon Ornaments. However, it now takes significantly longer to get Weapon Ornaments for ritual weapons as players have to reset their rank in an activity and then reach Rank 16 again in the same activity.
While it takes a great deal of grinding to even get Veles-X in the first place, it takes even longer toget the Weapon Ornamentsas well. So whether it is for Veles-X or for the Weapon Ornaments, it is recommended thatDestiny 2players wait for a week when one or more of the playlists have double reputation gains active. As a result, the grind will go much faster if players are at the maximum activity streak of five while also playing during a double reputation week. Another thing that can help make the grind go faster is to play with a group as opposed to playing solo with randoms via matchmaking.
Destiny 2is available now on Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
