How to Get Whirling Ovation in Destiny 2

Whirling Ovation has a random drop chance only from the final boss in The Desert Perpetual, Destiny 2‘s Raid, exclusive to owners of The Edge of Fate. Players will only have 1 opportunity per character per week to get Whirling Ovation, meaning it’s not possible to infinitely farm for this Exotic Rocket Launcher by repeating the final boss. It’s advised to get a final boss checkpoint and complete the final encounter on all 3 characters for the best chance to get Whirling Ovation to drop. While Bungie does not provide exact drop rate chances, community-driven data points to a 5% chance.. However, there is a way to increase the drop rate chance for Whirling Ovation by completing the associated Triumphs for The Desert Perpetual Title. Below are the Triumphs players can complete to increase the initial chance for Whirling Ovation to drop:

Is Whirling Ovation a Good Exotic Rocket Launcher?

Whirling Ovation is essentially a super-charged Scorch Cannon, as players can overcharge the shots to release Solar projectiles. A single shot combines both Solar and Strand to Unravel and Scorch, providing a great synergy between the two great elements. However, the heavy damage and slow fire of this Exotic Rocket Launcher might make it interesting, but whether it’s worth it is determined by the individual player. Whirling Ovation comes with two Exotic Traits:

Coronal Culmination: Hold R2/RT/Left-Click to charge; release to fire. Charged projectiles have a delayed Solar payload.
Anticipation: The charge speed of this weapon’s next shot slowly increases over time. Anticipation builds more quickly as you deal more damage with other weapons.
