Destiny 2’s Perfect Pitch is an amazing Submachine Gun that you can pick up during The Final Shape. While it may take some work to pick up, it’s going to be worth the effort. More than the gorgeous golden chrome look, it’s packing some serious power and solid perks. Unfortunately, SMGs haven’t been in a good space lately, but Perfect Pitch can change that perception for the better.
However, this is a ritual reward, and the grind for that is a little more tedious than in previous expansions. That said, it’s going to be more than worth the effort of grinding Destiny 2 ritual activities for this fantastic weapon. Here’s what you need to know about the game's Perfect Pitch Submachine Gun.

How to unlock Perfect Pitch in Destiny 2
In order to unlock Perfect Pitch in Destiny 2, you need to be Rank 16 with either Shaxx, Zavala, or the Drifter. You have to do ritual activities that are associated with that character, and that’s what makes the grind a little bit longer. That means you’re going to be either grinding out Crucible, Vanguard, or Gambit.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter which of these you pick - choose the one that you enjoy the most, and grind it until Rank 16! Then you can claim the Perfect Pitch Submachine Gun in Destiny 2 from the appropriate vendor. It’s going to take some time, but it’s genuinely worth it.
