If you’re looking to upgrade your Void loadout in Destiny 2, the Lotus-Eater Rocket Sidearm is a standout choice. Thanks to recent buffs to Void perks, this weapon has become a popular pick—and the Adept version makes it even more effective. This guide explains how to obtain both versions and highlights the best PvE roll to go after.
Where to Find the Adept Lotus-Eater
The Adept Lotus-Eater can be obtained by completing Grandmaster Nightfalls during the week it’s featured in the Nightfall weapon rotation. To qualify for a drop, you’ll need a Platinum completion, which requires defeating all Champions in the strike. The Adept version has a chance to drop from the final chest.
After you earn your first Adept Lotus-Eater, you can continue farming better rolls by heading to Zavala in the Tower. There, you can focus additional copies using:
- 1 Vanguard Engram
- 50,000 Glimmer
- 10 Nightfall Ciphers
How to Get the Base Version of Lotus-Eater
The standard version of Lotus-Eater also drops from Nightfall strikes, but only when the weapon is part of that week’s rotation. Complete the strike and open the final chest for a chance at a drop. Once you’ve earned one, you’ll unlock the ability to focus more rolls using the Focus Decoding option at Zavala’s vendor, which costs:
- 5 Vanguard Engrams
- 25,000 Glimmer
PvE God Roll for Lotus-Eater
- Barrel: Quick Launch
- Magazine: Extended Mag
- First Perk: Repulsor Brace
- Second Perk: Destabilizing Rounds
- Mod: Backup Mag
With Repulsor Brace, defeating an enemy affected by a Void debuff like Suppress, Weaken, or Volatile gives you a 45 HP overshield. Meanwhile, Destabilizing Rounds makes defeated enemies explode with Void energy, applying Volatile to others and feeding back into more kills and more overshields.
This combo creates a self-sustaining loop of explosive Void damage and constant protection, making the Lotus-Eater highly effective in PvE activities that demand both survivability and crowd control.
