'''Whisper of the Worm''' is an [[Exotic]] | '''Whisper of the Worm''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Sniper Rifle]] introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' with an update on July 17th, 2018. It is the successor to the [[Black Spindle]], and by extension, the [[Black Hammer]]. It is the form that [[Xol]] took to feed upon [[The Guardian|the Guardian]]. | ||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Whisper of the Worm is a | Whisper of the Worm is a heavy sniper rifle, and like its predecessors [[Black Hammer]] and [[Black Spindle]], it focuses on sustained boss DPS without reloading, heavily competing with [[D.A.R.C.I.]] and [[Sleeper Simulant]]. White Nail works as it did in the past; however, unlike Black Spindle, it works exactly as Black Hammer did pre-''[[The Taken King]]'' and pulls ammo from the ether and not from reserves. The Catalyst obtained by running the Heroic version of The Whisper grants Whispered Breathing, which, after aiming down sights for three seconds, will increase precision damage and range until de-scoped. However, White Nail comes with a caveat when used with Lunafaction Boots, namely that it eats through your reserves regardless of whether you make precision shots or not. | ||
== | ==Lore== | ||
''[[Xol]], the Will of Thousands, perished but was not destroyed. Death is a road, death is metamorphosis, the unsacred road between destroyer and destroyed. The might which defeats a god is also the ambrosia that god craves, the meat-sweet logic of [[Sword Logic|Existence-Asserted-By-Violence]], the binomial decision between two ways of being which deny each other. In dying, Xol fed richly.'' | |||
''Now came Xol unto the [[Taken]] upon [[Io]], who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will. Yet Xol was bound joyously to the very logic that sustained it in its death. It wanted the sword proof, the single proof. It wanted to become a rule which divided the mighty living from the mighty dead. So it whispered the [[Anthem Anatheme]], the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, WIELD ME, AND USE ME TO TEST YOUR FOE. This was its worship, Aiat. | |||
==Acquisition== | ==Acquisition== | ||
To obtain the Whisper of the Worm, one must complete a secret mission called [[The Whisper]]. This mission is only available from Friday to Monday, and can only be accessed by entering an anomaly that appears in certain patrol areas on Io by killing specific Taken lieutenants that appear during the [[Taken Blight]] [[Public Event]]. These lieutenants are called [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness]], [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate]], and [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War]]. Upon entering the anomaly, the player is taken to the [[Grove of Ulan-Tan]] [[Lost Sector]] location and will have to navigate through mazes and dark caverns as well as fight through hordes of Taken that spawn through numerous blights, which will wind up in a large boss encounter featuring the lieutenants from before. This mission runs on a timer that is set to approximately twenty minutes, and given the sheer amount of enemies as well as the toughness of the bosses, it is highly recommended to be at an incredibly high Power level and bring a full [[Fireteam]] that matches or surpasses the activity's level. If the mission is completed before the timer runs out, the player is finally awarded with the Whisper of the Worm. | |||
After the weapon is obtained, the Whisper Catalyst can be obtained by running through the Heroic version of The Whisper. Once acquired, it will require players to open six chests throughout the mission, including one that involves shooting [[Oracle]]s not unlike those from [[Vault of Glass]]. The order for the Oracles, from left to right, is 1-3-5, 4-6-7-3-1, and finally, 7-3-1-6-4-2-5. Chests award 2% catalyst completion, while completing the mission rewards 24% for a total of 36% per week. Catalyst progression is account-based, so if you do run it on one character, you cannot progress it further on another. | |||
