Destiny 2 Buzzard Guide – Quest Steps & How-to Get!

We're taking a look at the Buzzard Sidearm, which is one of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep's new Ritual Weapons that can be obtained in the Season of the Dawn! You'll need to complete a small quest to obtain this brand new Sidearm Pistol.

Ritual Weapons have replaced the old Pinnacle Weapons that were popular among collectors. These new weapons will no longer have special perks and will instead feature curated rolls. This seems to be a way to keep things more fair across the board, and will make it easier to balance in the future.
