How players can obtain Death from Above in Destiny 2

Death from Above is a weapon that was previously obtainable in the game, but it was sunset a few seasons ago. When weapons in Destiny 2 are sunset, it means that they are restricted to a maximum power level. Such weapons are quickly outclassed by other weapons as their power levels become too low to be usable. Luckily, players will soon be able to get their hands on Death from Above again.

Adept D.F.A. will be available in Grandmaster Nightfalls

With lower levels of Nightfalls, players may have a difficult time finding D.F.A. as it has a very low drop chance. However, players can run the most challenging Nightfalls, which are of the Grandmaster difficulty. These Nightfalls have the ability to drop Adept versions of Nightfall weapons. These weapons have higher stats and the ability to equip special Adept mods, which makes them worth farming for.

In addition to D.F.A., players can earn additional rewards from Nightfalls

Since Nightfalls are farmable, they are a good source of obtaining items such as Enhancement Shards, Enhancement Prisms, Ascendant Shards, and Exotic gear. Players can keep an eye out for announcements as sometimes Nightfalls offer double rewards, which is the best time to farm them as players get 2 chances at the drop for Nightfall weapons at the end of each completion.
