Exotic Fishing Quest
The final exotic fish is available to catch this week on the EDZ. All exotic fishing ponds are also active, as well as a buff called Lucky Week which allows players to catch exotic fish at twice the rate.
⭐ Quest Steps
Complete steps below to earn the new exotic scout rifle, Wicked Implement.
- Collect all three exotic fish and deposit them at the H.E.L.M. (Tip: Only one person in the fireteam needs to have all three exotic fish. They can activate all three hive statues in Deep Dives for the entire team).
- Offer all three blades to their respective statues in Deep Dives.
- Once the above tasks are completed, a new door will now open on the right side after completing the second encounter in Deep Dives.
- Instead of proceeding forward, go through the newly opened door on the right.
- Inside that door, activate all three of the statues.
- Proceed through the area, defeating enemies, including three Minotaurs and Taken Knight (Tip: Prioritize defeating the Minotaurs before taking on the boss, as doing so grants you the Deathly Sharp buff. This buff greatly enhances your ability to inflict substantial damage on the Taken Knight).
- Continue advancing and a 10-minute timer will be automatically triggered when you reach The Drowning.
- Successfully complete the mission to obtain the new exotic scout rifle. If failed, Deep Dives will restart. (Tip: To do damage to the boss you must defeat three Minotaurs which are scattered around the area. Many are recommending Divinity at least on one player, Linear Fusion Rifles, and Machine Guns, such as Thunderlord.)
NOTE: The catalyst for this weapon is available through Deep Dives however it is not known exactly how to obtain it, once we learn how to get the catalyst we will provide an update to this page and on social media.

Quest Reward: Wicked Implement Exotic Scout Rifle
Perks:
- Creeping Attrition (Intrinsic): Rapidly landing precision hits causes targets to become slowed.
- Tithing Harvest (Trait): Precision final blows while Creeping Attrition is active create a Stasis shard that returns to you. Collecting Stasis shards refills the magazine.

🏆 Triumphs
Exotic Angler Triumph
Collecting all exotic fish completes the Exotic Angler Triumph, the reward for this Triumph is a new emblem called Pond Pals.

Secret Triumph
After completing the mission and getting the exotic scout rifle, there should be around 1000 seconds left, use that time left to shoot 7 nodes (like in VOW raid) throughout the arena to complete the triumph.
