One of the last exotic weapons in Destiny has found its way into Destiny 2. The Outbreak Prime made its debut in the Rise of Iron expansion of Destiny and had one of the most interesting quest lines attached to it. The Channeling the Corruption quest had players searching for monitors while making their way through the Wrath of the Machine raid, inputting codes, and taking down certain enemies.
The Outbreak Prime had a unique perk that when getting critical kills; Siva corruption popped out and damaged any enemies standing beside the downed enemy. Outbreak Prime was one of the best exotic weapons to have in Destiny.
In Destiny 2, Players can get a special variant of Outbreak Prime called Outbreak Perfected. The steps on how to get Outbreak Perfected are listed below.
How to get Outbreak Perfected
Bad Neighbors or Titan Patrol
Before starting this heroic adventure. Make sure you have completed the Enemy of my Enemy quest line. The first step in getting Outbreak Perfected is going to Titan and accepting the heroic adventure “Bad Neighbors” or simply by patrolling the area.
Patrolling the area will be much easier, but if you like a challenge, go ahead with the heroic adventure. Head into Tidal Anchor until you reach a door behind a wizard that will hopefully say “unlocked.” If it does not, double-check that you have indeed completed the Enemy of my Enemy quest line on the specific character you’re using. Enter the room and examine the Fallen device on the table.
Fallen Transponder Nodes

After finding the Fallen Transponder, you will need to find six nodes that are scattered throughout the Destiny 2 universe. Thanks to the Destiny 2 community on Reddit, finding the nodes won’t be a problem. Make your way to the EDZ and Nessus to get started.
The Drain Lost Sector (EDZ)
Whispered Falls Lost Sector (EDZ)
Atrium Lost Sector (EDZ)
Widow’s Walk Lost Sector (EDZ)
The Carrion Pit Lost Sector (Nessus)
The Rift Lost Sector (Nessus)
Rendezvous for Zero Hour
After finding all six of the nodes you’ll notice a code displayed on the Fallen Transponder entitled “Rendezvous.” Make your way to The Farm and enter a basement door on the right side of the large warehouse. Here you will find the Fallen Captain Mithrax waiting for you to begin a quest. You should remember him from the Enemy of my Enemy quest line.
Zero Hour is Power Level 690, so bring your best loadout. You have 20 minutes to defeat this mission. Once you have finished, you will obtain Outbreak Perfected.
Once you have acquired Outbreak Perfected you can redo Zero Hour as a heroic adventure to earn the catalyst. Land precision final blows with Outbreak Perfected and obtain SIVA Particulate.
Outbreak Perfected Perks

The Outbreak Perfected is surely to be one of the most popular exotics in Destiny 2, especially for those who have played Destiny since the very beginning. Here are the perks with the catalyst:
- The Corruption Spreads – This weapon creates SIVA Nanite swarms on rapid hits and precision kills
- Extended Barrel
- Accurized Rounds
- Outlaw
- Parasitism – This weapon does more damage to enemies based on the SIVA nanites that attache to them.
With the Outbreak Perfected making its appearance in Destiny 2, we wonder what other exotic weapons we will see in the future. I personally would like to see Ice Breaker and Vex Mythocast make a comeback.
