How to Get Winterbite Exotic Glaive in Destiny 2

To get the Winterbite Exotic Glaive, you must complete the Strider quest given to you by City Archivist Quinn Laghari. Quinn is located in the Hall of Heroes in the northern part of Neomuna, above Striders’ Gate, and the Strider quest is a seven-part quest, requiring you to fulfill various tasks for Quinn.

Winterbite Exotic Glaive Perks in Destiny 2

The Winterbite Exotic Glaive is a brand-new exotic that packs a Stasis punch. The glaive’s intrinsic trait, Big Frigid Glaive, reads as:

“Fires a large ball of energy that locks onto nearby targets and freezes them.”

Ironically enough, that does sound eerily similar to the snowballs you’d find during the Dawning events. Along with the intrinsic traits, Winterbite contains two secondary weapon perks:

• Weighted Edge: This weapon’s melee attacks deal increased damage and slow targets when loaded with ammo.
• Tilting at Windmills: Blocking damage with your shield increases movement speed while shielding.

Overall, Winterbite sounds like a fun weapon to use, but as more players get their hands on it, its true power will be revealed. As mentioned, running harder activities will give you the best shot at earning this new exotic to run in your loadout.

That’s everything you need to know about how to get the Winterbite Exotic Glaive in Destiny 2, as well as a breakdown of some of its perks. For more Destiny information to stay up-to-date on the newest expansion, scroll on to our related section below.
