The Witch Queen expansion introduced a variety of unique Exotic weapons to Destiny 2, including class-specific Exotic Glaives that offer distinct tactical advantages. For Titans, the Edge of Action Glaive stands out as an exceptional defensive tool capable of deploying a protective mini-bubble shield for your fireteam. Finding the path to unlock this unique weapon requires completing specific quests within the Evidence Board in the Throne World enclave.
Initiating the Report Quests at the Evidence Board
To begin your journey toward unlocking this Exotic Glaive, you must first complete the main campaign of the expansion. Once the story concludes, you can access the Evidence Board located in the Mars Enclave near Ikora Rey. This terminal requires you to investigate several investigative reports, which gradually unlock the exotic assignment.
Each report tasks Guardians with different activities across Savathun's Throne World, including participating in public events and locating hidden items. Completing these prerequisite investigations is essential because the final blueprint quest will not appear until the board is fully cleared. It is highly recommended to bring a well-equipped fireteam to accelerate your progress through the tougher public activities.
Completing the Report Reverse-Engineering Quest
After finishing all standard investigative reports, the Evidence Board will finally present an exotic quest titled Report: Reverse-Engineering. This assignment directly guides players toward gathering the rare components needed to forge the weapon frame. Your primary objective will involve tracking down specific materials and completing an activity inside the Wellspring network.
Players must participate in the Wellspring offensive mode, which alternates daily between attack and defense variants. Defeating high-level combatants within this activity grants a chance to obtain the required alloy components needed for weapon assembly. Ensuring that you run this activity on higher difficulties can significantly improve your drop efficiency and resource management.
Forging the Exotic Glaive at the Enclave
Once you have secured the necessary schematic and resources from the Wellspring, return to the relic structure in the Mars Enclave. Accessing the crafting interface will allow you to shape the Edge of Action using your collected materials. This initial shaping process officially adds the defensive Glaive to your permanent Titan inventory collection.
If you wish to obtain the Exotic Glaives for your Hunter or Warlock characters later, the system behaves slightly differently. Instead of repeating the lengthy questline, you can acquire the remaining blueprints as random drops from completing Wellspring activities. Alternatively, players can purchase these secondary weapon patterns directly from the Evidence Board vendor once the initial Titan version is completed.
Mastering the Edge of Action Tactical Capabilities
The Edge of Action functions as an aggressive energy weapon that combines powerful melee strikes with shielding utility. When your shield energy is completely full, holding down the reload button consumes the energy to chamber a specialized defensive round. Firing this round onto the battlefield deploys a localized void shield that blocks incoming enemy projectiles.
This mini-bubble provides excellent tactical cover during high-stakes endgame activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls and raids. Allies standing inside the dome gain increased protection, allowing your fireteam to recover health safely during intense encounters. Combining this unique weapon perk with offensive Titan armor pieces creates a highly balanced and versatile loadout.
