Destiny: TTK – How to Get the Chaperone, New Exotic Shotgun

The Chaperone is Destiny: The Taken King‘s powerhouse shotgun, equippable by all classes. It’s a new exotic that will lay waste to all your foes, provided you actually get it first, that is.

“My mother had a shotgun we called the Chaperone. Kept us alive out there, before we got to the City.” – Amanda Holliday

First, you’ll need the quest. After completing The Taken King’s entire main storyline, go to the Tower. Amanda Holliday, the shipwright, will give you the ‘Jolly Holliday’ quest.

You’ll then need to use The Last Word (a handcanon Exotic) in the Crucible, getting kills and assists to reach 100 points. Kills count as 1 point towards the 100 necessary, killstreaks give bonuses, and deaths take away 2 points.

You will then speak to Amanda Holliday again. Next, you need to purchase a 15,000 glimmer “Generous Donation” from the Cryptarch. Then, speak to Amanda again. After that, use whatever shotgun you’d like to kill some high-level, yellow bar minions. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to kill the Shield Brothers from the 290 light level strike with a shotgun as the killing blow. And finally, talk to Amanda Holliday one last time to complete the chain of quests. You’ll receive the Chaperone once the new weekly reset hits.
