How to get The Guiding Sight Scout Rifle in Destiny 2

Like most weapons from the Iron Banner, The Guiding Sight can be picked up from Saladin's inventory in Destiny 2. With the active Iron Banner week in Season of the Witch, players can choose to get the weapon to drop from matches or gain reputation EXP for a curated version. Either way, it is necessary to have it unlocked within Collections.

The Guiding Sight can be unlocked in Saladin's inventory after reaching reputation rank 7, with perks including Moving Target and Hatchling. Gaining points, however, can be done by spamming Iron Banner matches and accumulating activity streaks. Winning games will typically reward more bonuses, while intentionally losing matches will overall increase EXP per hour.

Once the weapon gets unlocked within a player's inventory, it will be available for focusing under the "Focused Decoding" section in exchange for one Iron Engram, 25 Legendary Shards, and 20,000 Glimmer.
