How to unlock Rat King in Destiny 2

Beside the MIDA multi tool, the gun that you would hear the most about is Rat King. An exotic sidearm, which promises increased damage depending on the number of players who have the gun equipped.

Funnily its not the base damage of the gun which increases. But the gun does get some perks depending upon the members who have the Rat King equipped at these times. VG 24/7 discusses the various buffs that a fireteam can get when using the Rat King, but nevertheless, the Rat King remains one of the few exotics which we believe has one of the most varied quest in Destiny 2 right now.

STEPS TO UNLOCK RAT KING IN DESTINY 2

It’s important to note that from step 2, you always need to be in a fireteam, who are also on the same step of the Rat King quest as you. Its an important factor and hence might needs some co-ordination.

1. Hit the level 20 cap and finish the campaign. Then head to Titan and pick up the ‘Enemy of My Enemy’ quest. Its a sequence of 3 missions and once completed, will add the Rat King quest line to your inventory.
2. The quest line unfolds in a series of Riddles, the first one is:
   The Rat King’s Crew
   Runs to and fro
   Good girls and boys
   Know where to go
   Pick up your toys and darn your socks
   On errands of woe, on errands we walk

   This has you completing 3 patrol missions on any planet with atleast a fireteam of 2 players. With each player on the same Rat King mission/riddle.

3. The next riddle goes something like this:
   The Rat King’s Crew
   Goes arm in arm
   To fight as one
   To do no harm
   So have your fun and run outside
   Rally the flag and we’ll never die

   This one needs you to complete two public events on any planet. Once again, needs a fireteam of atleast 2 people with each one on the same riddle of the rat king quest.

4. The third riddle is easier, and goes:
   The Rat King’s Crew
   Goes four and four
   With good good fights
   They learn to score
   Then three as one they stand upright
   Return from past the wall and wanting more

   This one has you playing the Crucible. Win or lose you need 2 matches under your belt, and you should be done. Remember this needs a fireteam with atleast one more person equipped with the Rat King quest on the same riddle.

5. The final riddle is the easiest to solve but also the toughest to execute:
   The Rat King’s Crew
   Stands three as one
   They see Night’s fall
   And fear it none
   But watch the clock as you scale the wall
   Lest five remain hope comes for none

   This one has you finishing a STRIKE. On NIGHTFALL. WITH 5 MINUTES to spare. WITH a FIRETEAM where all other members have the RAT King quest line. Since Nightfall requires three players, so you’ll need a full trio to play. Complete this stage, though, and the beautifully ornate Rat King sidearm will be yours.

What do you think of the hoops one has to go through for the RAT KING. Do you think its worth it? If you have already got it, was it tough? Let us know all this and more in the comments.
