Necrochasm, the exotic auto-rifle was finally added to Destiny 2 along with the reprised version of Crota’s End raid. If you received it during the first 48 hours then you were in luck, otherwise here is how you can get it normally.

Necrochasm wasn’t the best weapon to use back in vanilla Destiny. Despite being a weapon of sorrow (like Thorn), it was outshined by other exotic as well as legendary auto rifles in the game.

However, it is a lot better in Destiny 2, especially in PvP, and considering it is a brand-new exotic players are eager to get it in their hands. As it happens, the Necrochasm auto rifle can be obtained by completing a small quest after completing the Crota’s End Raid for the first time.

A guide on how you can obtain it has been presented in the following sections.

How to get the Exotic Necrochasm in Destiny 2

Bottomless Pit requires collecting Essence of the Oversoul

The Necrochasm is a reward from the Bottomless Pit quest that’s handed out by the raid vendor for Crota’s End. This quest does not require any currency to purchase.

Initially, players who finished the raid during the first 48 hours got access to the Necrochasm right away. However, those who did not will need to do some work. The steps that you need to follow have been presented below:

Complete the Crota’s End Raid
Pick up the Bottomless Pit quest from Crota’s sword (raid vendor) after finishing the quest
Use the white weapon Husk of the Pit and defeat Hive with it
Get access to the Legendary weapon Eidolon Ally and step 2 of Bottomless Pit
Keep completing triumphs and the raid and collect to Essence of the Oversoul
Collect 20 Essence of the Oversoul to obtain Necrochasm

How to obtain the Essence of the Oversoul in Destiny 2

Essence of the Oversoul is a crucial item in Destiny 2 that you need to obtain the Exotic weapon Necrochasm. There are two different ways you can obtain this item in the game:

Complete raid encounters from Crota’s End
Complete triumphs related to Crota’s End

In the beginning Essence of the Oversoul was hard to farm as you got only one per week and the rest was on RNG. However, that is changing from September 19, 2023.

You get one Essence of the Oversoul every week upon your first clear and a second one for completing every raid encounter from start to finish. In fact, you will get one Essence of the Oversoul every time you complete the entire raid right from the start.

This way you can farm it as you need a lot of those for both the weapon as well as its catalyst. You can also obtain the Essence of the Oversoul upon completing Crota’s End triumphs.

How to get the Necrochasm Catalyst in Destiny 2

The Necrochasm catalyst can be obtained from the Crota’s End raid upon completing two small challenges. Firstly, you must have the Necrochasm weapon in hand to be able to start the challenge.

Once you do, follow the steps provided below:

Stand on a plate with the Necrochasm equipped towards the right of the staircase after the Bridge encounter
A message will appear saying “Crota’s minions appear”
Defeat all enemies and the swordbearer knights
A new message will appear saying “Crota’s minions are defeated” once all the enemies are dealt with
Complete the Deathsinger encounter
Go to the right side of the room instead of spawning Crota
You will find another plate
Stand on it and activate it with the Necrochasm in hand
Defeat multiple enemies including swordbearer knights and gatekeeper knights

Both of these encounters need to be completed in 1 minute and 30 seconds. Once they are done, the Catalyst will drop.
