Destiny 2's new crossbow, Submersion, finally allows guardians to get this new weapon type without doing the Desert Perpetual raid, which seems to pose a pretty high barrier considering the game's dwindling population with The Edge of Fate.
This crossbow was teased in the reveal stream for Renegades, just minutes before Ash & Iron released and brought Submersion with it. Here's where you can get this new crossbow, though there's quite a bit of luck involved.
Where does the Submersion crossbow drop in Destiny 2?
You can get the Submersion crossbow as a rare drop from New Territories: Reclaim activities, as well as activities from other events. Each time you get a Reclaim weapon engram, there's a chance Submersion will drop from it. You can verify this by inspecting the Engram on the event track.
Don't fret if you can't get your Submersion early on, though. Bungie will host other events throughout Ash & Iron, culminating in the upcoming Call to Arms event toward the end of the season. While it has a chance to drop from multiple events, players can finally focus it on Call to Arms, ensuring they'll get a decent shot of it. API database light.gg also lists a Holofoil version of it, which is bound to come out during the last event.
All Submersion perks in Destiny 2
Submersion is Stasis-based, so not only does it have Chill Clip, it also freezes in two shots, associate sandbox designer Noah Pearson said on the livestream. The developer also teased a potentially deadly combo with Chill Clip freezing a target and Serrated Bolts dealing more damage when pulling a bolt off a frozen enemy, combining the shatter explosion with the extra damage from the perk.
In addition to Chill Clip, you can also expect a handful of perks on Submersion, as per light.gg. These perks are listed in no particular order, and each weapon can randomly roll with at least one option in each column. We omitted the weapon's parts from this list.
| First perk (third column) | Second perk (fourth column) |
|---|---|
| Auto-Loading Holster | Chill Clip |
| Impulse Amplifier | Firing Line |
| Bolt Scavenger | Headstone |
| Lead From Light | Aggregate Charge |
| Ensemble | Collective Action |
| No Distractions | High Ground |
With a unique perk pool and coveted archetype, Submersion is bound to be one of the hottest items in Destiny 2, especially as it becomes more accessible to players. Impulse Amplifier and Auto-Loading Holster seem quite strong synergistic perks for a heavy, while Chill Clip and Firing Line seem like great options to pair them with.
