The time has come to evacuate some of our favorite destinations, as the Pyramids start closing in on Io, Mars, Mercury, and Titan. All of our work will pay off in the end as we will be rewarded with a brand new exotic weapon. This guide will show you how to get the Traveler’s Chosen exotic sidearm in Destiny 2.
