Where to get Swords in Destiny 2 

In Destiny 2, players can get swords through a number of ways in the game. The main method is the same as all other weapons, which is to simply find one as a random loot drop.

Along with this, you can also get a certain exotic weapon called The Lament by completing a quest called The Lost Lament that can be started by speaking to Banshee 44. 

But besides completing this quest, you can also potentially gain a new sword by decrypting engrams, but this is not very reliable as you can get countless other items in engrams.
