History of Astral Horizon (Adept)

Overview

Astral Horizon (Adept) is the Adept version of Astral Horizon, a Legendary Kinetic Shotgun with an Aggressive Frame (55 RPM, 4-round magazine; hard-hitting with high recoil). The weapon first appeared in Destiny in House of Wolves and returned to Destiny 2 in Season of the Worthy. Flavor text: "Even the brightest stars eventually set."

Acquisition

The Adept version of Astral Horizon is a harder-to-get variant from the Trials of Osiris loot pool. It is earned by a Flawless run (seven consecutive wins) to the Lighthouse and opening the Flawless chest there. Later seasons also let players focus Trials engrams with Saint-14 to get rolls of Adept weapons already earned. It has appeared as a Trials reward across several seasons, including Season 12 and Season 20. Adept weapons take a special set of Adept mods, and masterworking gives bonus stats beyond the masterwork's focus; see Adept weapons. Weapons dropped after Season of the Splicer also carry the Celerity perk. Rotation and availability change by season.
