How to Get the Chaperone in Destiny 2

With the weapon loadout changes to Destiny 2, shotguns are all the rage once again, and none are as powerful when it comes to competitive action as the Chaperone. The single-slug shotgun has made its return to the franchise, and it’s just as dominant now as it was years ago. If you’re looking to pick up more kills in the Crucible, this is the weapon for you.

How to get the Chaperone

Starting this quest off can be a bit difficult, as it’s technically a random drop reward. Some players are seeing it drop after Crucible games, while others have received the quest from other activities, such as the mission to access the Dreaming City, Awakening. Once the quest does drop, you’ll need to head to the Tower and speak with Amanda Holliday to kick things off.

Once the quest has truly begun, there are three main steps to follow:

Use shotguns to kill 20 opponents

Use Arc, Void, and Solar damage to kill opponents in Crucible, death sets back progress

Get 15 kills in Gambit

Shotgun Kills

The first step is to get 20 kills in the Crucible with a shotgun. This doesn’t have to be in a single game or anything, and there’s no specific game type you need to play, so grab your favorite shotgun and just have fun. Perfect Paradox is a good choice, with it’s rapid-fire full-auto combination allowing for some very quick damage, but if you’re missing that then Hawthorne’s Field-Forged shotgun is another excellent choice in the Kinetic slot. Really though, any shotgun will be fine as long as you’re comfortable getting right up into their faces and pulling the trigger.

Elemental Kills

This s probably going to be the hardest step for most players, simply because while kills push the goal forward, deaths set you back. Getting a kill with an elemental weapon looks to reward you about 4% of the total, or thereabouts, while a death will knock off about 2%, so as long as you’re managing to score a kill for every death, you should slowly progress this challenge. Additionally, once you complete a section, such as Solar, it becomes locked, so you won’t lose any once it’s complete. A good tip for this section is to just equip everything you can as a single elemental type, including your subclass. That way, you can be sure that every kill is advancing your chosen goal.

Kills in Gambit

This step shouldn’t prove too difficult to players who have completed the previous two. Simply put, you just need to get 15 kills in Gambit, so theoretically you could do so in a single match, if you constantly invade and pick up kills. The kills don’t have to all come at once, so take your time and plug away at it until it’s done.

The final step is simply to return to Amanda Holliday and claim your reward. With the power of the Chaperone in your hands, you can now become the Crucible terror you always wanted to be. For more help with Exotic Weapon quests, check out our guide on how to get the Ace of Spades, here.
