How to Get Love and Death in Destiny 2
Love and Death is one of the few legendary weapons you can farm specifically, with a short quest to complete on the moon whenever you want to get one.
You will need to visit the Lectern of Enchantment on the moon and acquire the essence of madness quest. There will be two objectives, the first of which is simple: get 100 Grenade Launcher kills in the Vanguard, Gambit, or Crucible playlists.
The second task is to retrieve bound Manacle. This is held by a special Hive Knight on the moon. There are no question markers to guide you, but it’s easy to find if you follow these steps.
- First, fast travel to Sorrows Harbor on the Moon.
- Then follow the winding path south, leading to Hellmouth.
- As soon as you exit, look right and head towards the entrance at the northeast corner of Hellmouth.
- Move forward until you reach the locked center room and kill a knight named Ehrath’ur, Eternal Blade to retrieve the Bound Manacle.
Once you’ve completed both tasks, return to the Enchantment Desk to complete the quest and pick up a randomly thrown Love and Death.
You can repeat this quest as needed to farm more Love Death drops. Luckily, you only need to pick up the Bound Manacle once, each subsequent Essence of Insanity quest will only require the Grenade Launcher killed to be ready.
Season of the Seraph is here alongside More Than a Weapon, Seraph Key Codes and Resonate Stems and the addition of Rose in Crucible. You can also complete the Good Boy Protocol secret quest to make a new friend. We also saw a new dungeon, Spire of the Watcher, with a chance of the Hierarchy of Needs dropping at the end. Earlier this year we had the arrival of the King’s Fall and King’s Fall challenges, as well as weapons such as Doom of Chelchis and Touch of Malice. For The Witch Queen, find out how to get Dead Messenger and Parasite.
Destiny 2 Love and Death God Roll Recommendation
Love and Death is a DPS weapon, best suited for unleashing large amounts of damage on larger/more powerful targets and enemies.
The best version, or “god roll”, of Love and Death maximizes damage.
Here is our recommended Love and Death god roll in Destiny 2:
- Quick Start
- Spike Grenades
- Land preparation
- full yard
Grenade launchers do two types of damage, impact and explosion. To maximize the potential of love and death, the increased projectile speed of Quick Start does a lot to improve on the first. Not only is it easier to hit your target if the grenade landed faster, but that extra speed translates directly into increased impact damage.
Spike Grenades Works synergistically with Quick Cast by increasing impact damage to a target by 50%. Double the damage buffs, double the DPSing boss fun.
You could make a case for autoloading holsters, letting you switch from then back to Love and Death to fire more shots, but the extra rounds provided by Land preparation translate more directly to instant damage and are the best option for dealing damage quickly.
full yard actually three damage boost perks on a weapon. This adds a scaling increase to explosion damage (up to 25%) the longer the grenade flies through the air. Bosses are almost always damaged from afar, making it a frequently active buff and finishing off a DPS threat from a Grenade Launcher.
As usual, once you have your favorite jet, be sure to upgrade it to a Masterwork to give it a stat boost, the ability to generate orbs on multiple kills, and add the option of a kill tracker!
