For those that don’t have it, the [b]Heir[/b] [b]Apparent[/b] will be acquired via a [b]quest[/b] (according to data mining)
The Quest
It’s a random reward whenever the player turns over a Gold or Platinum Medal (current platinum card source is the Nightfall.)
bank Contender or Platinum Cards with Eva Levante in order to have a chance at obtaining the [b]Exotic[/b].
Contender Cards will be tied to the core activities, such as Gambit, Strikes and Crucible. Once you've done enough tasks, you will complete your card and will be able to bank it, in a fashion similar to the medals from the last year. The same goes for Platinum Cards but these will be tied to Trials of Osiris and Nightfalls.
(Keep any GG triumphs until this step & turn them in for medals)
[b]As for the[/b] [b]catalyst[/b]
Here are the [b]rumoured[/b]/[b]reported[/b] requirements:
Seems they are Steps 1-4
[b]Step1[/b]: Earn (50) points by obtaining medals. Higher tier medals are worth more points
[b]Step2[/b]: Complete (3) Contender Cards (these are purchased from Eva and have objectives for different activities, Trials, Nightfalls, Strikes, Gambit and Crucible)
[b]Step3[/b]: Collect (90) Competitive Spirit by getting kills (Combatants or Guardians) with Machine Guns in the [b]Daily Focus playlist.[/b] (Today’s is strikes?)
Precision blows grant bonus progress.
[b]Step4[/b]: 700 total kills, which sounds like a lot until you take this thing into Altars of Sorrow
[b]It should be noted that this will probably only be obtainable during the 2021 Guardian Games.[/b]
[b]Catalyst Abilities:[/b]
The Heir Apparent catalyst will increase the strength of its protective arc shield, and it will partially reload the magazine of the gun when destroyed. And of course create the usual fountain of orbs on multikills.
Oh and Guardian Games 2021 has been extended to Tuesday May 11th (was originally mentioned in the roadmap as ending on the Sunday 9th of May)
