How to get the Dead Messenger Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2

The Dead Messenger grenade launcher is part of Season of the Risen which was released alongside The Witch Queen. It is obtained when players complete the Kill the Messenger quest, which requires completing the Vox Obscura Mission on Savathun's Throne World.

To progress into Season of the Risen, players must complete the first mission of The Witch Queen called The Arrival. From there, they will need to accept and complete the first week's mission, Operation Elbrius. Vox Obscura recommends a Power Level of 1550, but a well-coordinated fireteam can tackle it around Power Level 1520.
