Destiny 2 features countless weapons for players to learn and master, many of which have become fan favorites. Though heavily dependent on random number generators, this sizeable longarm is hugely popular in PVE and PVP situations.

The Palindrome is a powerful Adaptive Energy Hand Cannon. The weapon is a highly deadly tool that crushes many enemies in a single shot. The Palindrome has been missing from the game for some time and won't be around much longer.


Getting the Palindrome in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 features a new mode called Nightfall, which features a rotation of new and returning weapons to be unlocked. The Palindrome is one of the eight weapons in that rotation and can only be unlocked through that challenge.

Nightfall mode features a tough challenge that can be scaled up to almost impossible extremes. Higher difficulty levels make weapon drops more likely and swiftly cap off the ability to queue with strangers. Players will have to bring a well-equipped party to face the highest levels of Nightfall mode.

The Palindrome is not the weapon of the week at the time of writing. This means that an Adept version is not available to Nightfall players. While the default weapon can be acquired, the weekly rotation will ensure that one weapon can be obtained with improved stats.

The Palindrome is available now through the Grandmaster Nightfall Strike, but not forever. The weapon is one of the many sets to be taken from the game in the upcoming 17th Season.
