Weapon Questline Redrix’s Broadsword is a Legendary / Kinetic / Pulse Rifle with High-Impact Frame, Outlaw and the special perk Desperado. Desperado – Reloading while Outlaw is active increases your rate of fire. Outlaw – Precision kills greatly decrease reload time.

To set expectations, here are the quest steps that must be completed in order to acquire Redrix’s Broadsword.

Q. Does resetting your valor rank counts retroactively. For example if i reset the rank 2 times before the step does it count for the quest step or no?

Nope. (Twitter) (See below under 'Kevin' for more on this)

  • Valor Rank resets only count during the season in which you have the quest in your inventory. Past resets will NOT count towards this. (Twitter)
  • Any rank related objective can be completed anytime during the season and will count once you hit a step that requires it. Making Valor progress during the early steps still makes progress towards the later step. So capitalize on those booster weekends and the changes to Valor win streaks in Competitive. If you keep grinding Comp you’ll get a full Valor streak and keep it even on loss.(Twitter)

Q. Does this mean that if I reset my valor twice while working on the quest it’ll count towards the later step? Believe you said no in this case? Just kinda confused with this.

It will still count so long as all 5 are done in the same season. This is only the case with the rank objectives. (Twitter)

Q. Am I right in thinking that theoretically if I am at the reset valor stage but do not complete it in season 4 I can do it in season 5?

Correct! (Twitter)

Q. Let's say while a player completes step 1, does that produce progress on step 4 once they reach it? Or is it a clean slate for each step?

Clean slate. Earn it. (Twitter)

Q. Are all quest steps available to complete? or do i need to complete step 1 to access step 2?

Step by step. (Twitter)

Q. After getting my Claymore I went into comp solo and am now at 2090, I take it I'll still get the emblem tied to getting the Claymore/reaching fabled or do I need to get back to 2100?

Just getting Claymore and hitting Fabled is enough. Deranking will not hurt that. (Twitter)

Redrix’s Broadsword is a Legendary Pulse Rifle that was released in Season 4 of Destiny 2. It’s the companion gun to the uber rare Redrix’s Claymore, which less than 1% of players have ever received.

While the Claymore is no longer obtainable, you can still obtain the Broadsword. Here are the exact steps you need to complete to unlock Redrix’s Broadsword.

Redrix’s Broadsword Quest Steps

Head over to Shaxx to initiate the quest, it’ll look like a ticket. Once you start it, you’ll have to complete the following quests in order.

1. Defeat 200 opponents with Pulse Rifle final blows in the Crucible.

These need to be kills, not just damage. You can use any Pulse Rifle, so you might as well equip the strongest one you have for PvP. Suggestions are the Graviton Lance, Three Graves, Go Figure, The Marine, Inaugural Address, and Blast Furnace.

2. Reach “Heroic” Valor Rank.

Try playing Rumble to rank up easier, as a Top 3 position will then count as a win, and Rumble games have a time limit of 8 minutes. Get on a win streak and you’ll earn bonus points to help you rank up faster.

3. Earn 75 Double Plays (Double Kills) in the Crucible.

Don’t worry too much about dealing the final blows. Even if you land shots on opponents and your teammates kill them, you’ll still receive double kill medals.

4. Defeat 150 opponents with precision final blows from any Pulse Rifle in the Crucible.

Use Pulse Rifles that are easiest for you to land headshots with. You probably already aim for the head anyway, so now is the time to put that practice to work.

5. Defeat 50 opponents with Arc final blows + 50 opponents with Solar final blows + 50 opponents with Void final blows in the Crucible.

You can set your loadout to match these elements and get kills with any weapon, whether it be through guns, grenades, or supers.

6. Complete 25 Crucible matches in Quickplay + 25 Crucible matches in Competitive + 25 Crucible matches in Rumble.

You don’t actually have to win these matches, just complete them.

7. Complete 20 Crucible Bounties.

Shaxx offers 5 bounties a day, so before you reach this step start saving completed bounties so you don’t have to wait several days to complete this step.

8. Reset your Valor rank 5 times in one season.

All your grinding so far will contribute to this quest. Each reset requires at least 2,000 Valor Points, so you’ll need to accumulate a total of 10,000 Valor Points. Try to hit 5x win streaks as much as possible to speed things up.

9. Return to Lord Shaxx and receive Redrix’s Broadsword.

Congrats, you’ve now completed all of the steps to obtain Redrix’s Broadsword!

Redrix’s Broadsword Stats

Redrix’s Broadsword has strong baseline stats. But what really makes the gun so effective is its perks. Outlaw combined with Desperado ramps up the gun’s DPS significantly. How good the gun is depends a lot on how consistently you can proc this.

In terms of good rolls for the Broadsword, you want to try for Arrowhead Break, Chambered Compensator, Extended Barrel, and Ricochet Rounds.

Is Redrix’s Broadsword Still Worth the Grind?

After reading this, you might be wondering if Redrix’s Broadsword is really worth it to obtain. Completing Redrix’s Broadsword quest isn’t necessarily difficult, but it is certainly time consuming and involves numerous steps.

Depending on your PvP ability, it can take you anywhere from a couple weeks to months to finish if you play for a few hours every day.

While the Broadsword was one of the strongest weapons in the game on release, in the current meta it’s fallen off compared to newer pulse rifles like Blast Furnace, Go Figure, and Bygones.

In terms of PvP, the Broadsword simply isn’t as highly rated as other Pinnacle Weapons now.

However, the Broadsword still remains as one of the best PvE weapons in Destiny 2. It has very high DPS which is great for clearing additional enemies, and it can shred through Invader enemies as well. Proccing Desperado is also a lot easier on mobs.

If you’re looking at it from a pure PvP perspective, you can probably skip the quest. However, if you’re someone who likes to complete collections and does a fair amount of PvE, completing the quest should be worth your time.

Keep in mind that the meta will inevitably change over time. Redrix’s Broadsword may very well be an all-around S-Tier weapon again, especially if it receives some buffs.

So if you’re not in a rush, you can simply start the quest and just passively complete it over time.

Protip: If you do start Redrix’s Broadsword quest, start Luna’s Howl quest at the same time, as many of the steps overlap. You can complete both around the same time and kill two birds with one stone.
