Destiny 2 Oathkeeper: How to Get, Stats, and Overview

For the aspiring archer in Destiny 2, these pair of gauntlets are an ideal choice for you

Are you looking for an excellent pair of exotic gauntlets for your Hunter? Look no further than the Oathkeeper. This pair of gloves turns your Hunter into a killing machine and assists you in combat. For those looking for a go-to exotic choice, you’ve come to the correct article to share in some of the more exceptional details about this piece of armor.

Oathkeeper

What Are They?

The Oathkeeper gauntlets are an exotic armor piece only wearable by the Hunter Guardians. Unfortunately, you’re moderately limited by this exotic due to relying on one of its key perks: Adamantine Brace. What this does it allow you to hold a bow’s charge indefinitely, rather than having it release on its own after you’ve started holding a charge for it. Not only are you able to keep your charge for as long as you’d like, but your bow also reaches its full power quicker.

Additionally, a massive bonus behind Adamantine Brace is you’re not going to lose the highest amount of damage you can dish out. Usually, when you reach your bow’s full charge and hold it, you’re going to do less damage for over-charging it. This unfortunate downside to using bows doesn’t happen with Adamantine Brace. Instead, you’re going to keep the highest amount of damage the entire time, ensuring each bow shot hits for its maximum value.

What Rolls Can You Get On it?

There are several different legendary armor perks you can receive on this item, but none of them is a guarantee. They are as follows:

• Any of the Weapon Loader perks (Auto Rifle, Bow, Fusion Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Hand Cannon, Linear Fusion Rifle, Pulse Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Scout Rifle, Shotgun, Sidearm, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Kinetic Weapon, Energy Weapon, Power Weapon, Light Arms, Large Weapons, and Rifle; this includes their enhanced counterparts)
• Fastball
• Impact Induction (and the Enhanced version)
• Momentum Transfer (and the Enhanced version)
• Scavenger perks (Fusion Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Linear Fusion Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Sword, and Machine Gun)
• Special Ammo Finder
• Heavy Ammo Finder

Where Can You Get It?

The best way to obtain an Oathkeeper right now is to play through the game and hope your luck holds out to acquire it in an exotic engram. So this means you’re going to run through the world, do quests, and grind as much as possible to find your favorite Oathkeeper. If you don’t loot the one you want the first time, you’ll have plenty of chances, and again, you’re relying mostly on the Adamantine Brace for your bows.

You can also acquire it from Xur’s shop, though, you’ll have to wait for the right weekend to see if the Nine find you worthy enough to wield these gauntlets. You might have better luck running through the game, and recovering them from a random drop, though.

Overview

For Hunter Guardians who love to rely on their bow, this one’s a must-have item. You can’t go wrong with having it on your Guardian, and if you build additional exotic armor pieces to make your bow stand out, even more, you’re going to become a powerhouse; it’s still good to have an excellent back-up weapon, though, if you miss your first shot.
