Destiny 2’s Osteo Striga Exotic SMG was introduced to the universe through The Witch Queen DLC. if you’re looking to add it to your arsenal, our guide will show you the somewhat tricky ropes to acquire it.

The Witch Queen was Destiny 2’s fourth major expansion pack, and it included all the usual fanfare that we come to expect from new Destiny content such as a new raid and a new activity, and we thought it was a solid entry in the successful sci-fi franchise.

One of the main things that fans always look forward to though is the allure of new weapons to see how they compare against the game’s best Exotics and more.

With Destiny 2: Lightfall on the horizon and The Final Shape still to come, the Osteo Striga SMG is a great weapon that players should definitely try out, but first, you need to obtain it.
