How to Get the Chaperone

Before you take yourself on the journey of self-discovery to get the Chaperone, you must ask yourself these three questions:

• Do you want to be more Texan in Destiny?
• Do you want to be a sweatier player in Crucible?
• Are shotguns not challenging enough for you?

Did you answer yes to any or all of these questions? Well good, ’cause this niche weapon comes fully loaded with a bitchin’ bull tattoo, makes you play Crucible with a shotgun and last but not least… Only gets true value if you headshot Guardians.

Is this the gun for you? Probably not, ’cause you aren’t try-hard enough to be honest. But let’s get you it anyway…

Step 1: Play dat Crucible

• Beat Forsaken Campaign..?
• First of off, you gotta get the quest dawg. I personally got it the first Crucible match after I beat the Forsaken Campaign. I’ve seen Redditors say that they got it while doing the Dreaming City Unlock mission, and others just doing strikes. But it seeeems like beating Forsaken is required.

Step 2: Holliday Family History

• Visit Amanda Holliday
• Aw, look at her cute little face. Amanda is so excited that Bungie made her relevant again! No longer is she stuck polishing boring plain white sparrows that are slower than your broken down jalopy of a car, now she gets to give you a quest and have a literal 10 minutes of fame! Smile Amanda, everyone is watching you now!

Step 3: Crucible Tournament Part 1

• 20 Kills in Crucible with a Shotgun
• The first little bit of sweatiness is awaiting you fambam! This is so simple, get a shotgun and don’t suck. If you get only 5 kills with a shotgun a game, that means you only gotta get 4 games done. That’s math, kiddos! If you got Legend of Acrius, equip that shit and go to town.

Pro Tip: Full-Choke makes shotguns more manageable to me. While Full-Auto was the favorite perk last season, one-shot shotguns make that kind of irrelevant. Full-Choke innately extends a Shotgun’s range by tightening its spread when you aim down sights. Also, this will give you a small amount of practice in gamestyle you’ll use with the Chaperone itself. I used the Year 1 Retrofuturist to easily get this, the Retrofuturist has Light-Weight Frame to help close the gap and Full-Choke.

Step 4: Crucible Tournament Part 2

• Defeat Guardians with Arc, Solar, and Void – Kills with damage type count as 3% toward completion, deaths count as -2%. Once you have a damage type to 100% it locks in and you can no longer lose progress from deaths.
• Be a Titan! Everyone else, too bad.
• Super kills make this shiznit super easy.
• If you aren’t an ace PVPer, stack all damage types. Same subclass, energy and heavy weapon then lock out one damage type before going to the next.

Step 5: Gambit Kills

• 15 Invasion kills in Gambit
• Well, if you don’t have the Malfeasance yet, at least this will show you what Gambit is all about. You can do this as slow as you want, or as fast as you want.
• Because Gambit generally spawns you on the goddamn other side of the map from the enemy Guardians, unless you’re trolling with lightweight frame or Quick Fang use them snipers! I suggest any sniper with explosive rounds, not only do they one-shot headshot but they also explode. Obviously the right choice.
• Don’t camp the damn portal! Nobody likes that shit, don’t be a shithead.
• The portal is predictable when it opens. You know at the top of the screen the dividing bars showing how many motes you have? Everytime you pass one of those bars the portal opens. So jump in the portal now! Now you can camp the portal without actually camping the portal.
• Or, use Sleeper…
• Or mooch off allies, ally invasion kills count too, boo-boo.

Step 6: PROFIT

• Visit Amanda Holliday
• And that is the last you’ll ever see of Amanda, dear Guardian. Why? No, she’s not leaving. There’s just no reason to ever talk to her again. Unless you got a virtual crush on her, weirdo. Smile Amanda, everyone is done watching you now!
• Your first foray into the sweat lodge of Destiny 2 has been completed. How gross do you feel from using a shotgun in Crucible? If you don’t feel gross, you might be a sociopath. So check on that buddy. But now you got this sexy silver shotgun, try it out and realize that you just like Shotguns ’cause you’re bad and don’t need to aim with regular shotguns when the Chaperone under-preforms for you.

Celebrate your new loot with a shirt!

The Chaperone is a whacky weapon. If you followed my pro-tip and used a Shotgun with Full-Choke you’re kind of already used to the fundamental play style of the Chaperone… Quick kind-of-not-really-long-range headshots, only now with the Chaperone you get 12-17 meters of oneshot headshot capabilities.. It is a fun weapon and a good change of pace, plus damn man, it just is a good lookin’ gun isn’t it? Well, when you get bored of it and go back to a year 1 Retrofuturist at least you can hang it on your ship wall.
