Destiny 2’s yearly winter event, The Dawning, has arrived and players doing their usual rounds of touring the galaxy for dismembered pieces of their enemies to turn into baked holiday treats for their friends and loved ones. You know, the usual. If you’re here you’re probably wondering how to get the new stasis sword, Zephyr. Here’s what you need to know.
How to Get Zephyr During Destiny 2’s Dawning Event
Zephyr is a “new” Stasis sword that is only available during The Dawning. I put it in quotes because technically it’s a reprised weapon, but it’s quite different from its original form. It now has random rolls, and it is an adaptive frame-type sword, which allows it to use the heavy uppercut attack when you hit the right trigger.
As a Stasis weapon, though, it can roll with the unique perk Cold Steel, which is currently only available on Zephyr, and what that does is allow Zephyr to slow down enemies with powered attacks. It does not allow you to freeze enemies though.
To get Zephyr in Destiny 2’s 2021 Dawning event, you’ll need to receive a “Gift in Return.” These are gifts that you get from giving other people gifts that you bake in your holiday oven.
Each time you open one of these gifts from your inventory, there’s a chance it will contain a Dawning weapon, and one of those weapons could be Zephyr.
How to Farm
Unfortunately, this puts us at the mercy of RNG when it comes to farming Zephyr. As far as we’re aware at the time of this writing, opening gifts in return is the only way to get it.
So basically the way to farm Zephyr is to essentially farm all the holiday ingredients you need to keep baking cookies and turn them in for gifts in return. Farming Legendary Lost Sectors, if you can do it quickly, is a decent way to farm ingredients and Essence of Dawning.
If that’s not an option, Essence of Dawning can be quickly farmed by completing Crucible matches (or Strikes if you can speed run) and the other ingredients can be farmed in your PvE activity of choice. Just pick out a recipe, and grind out the ingredients you need for it and keep baking cookies!
That’s all you need to know about how to get and how to farm Zephyr stasis sword in Destiny 2 while the 2021 Dawning event is live. Be sure to check out our guide wiki on the game for more tips, tricks, and other useful info if you’re in need of some extra pointers on your journey.
