EMPIRE HUNT
Check out the Europa Activities page to find out what Empire Hunt is available this week.
Empire Hunts will cost less Herealways if you have finished specific Sabotage Quests that lower the cost. To get certain weekly challenges, like the weekly Empire Hunt challenge, you will need to complete Sabotage Quests to unlock them. If you get stuck and can’t get any more Sabotage quests to complete, you may need to complete all Exo Stranger challenges that you may have (not Fragment quests).

EMPIRE HUNT POSSIBLE REWARDS
Cloudstrike – Exotic Sniper Rifle
Cloudstrike is a possible drop from the weekly Empire Hunt (select from Europa map, any difficulty works. I got it on about my 4-5th try on Hero difficulty). You can keep running the Empire Hunt on any difficulty until you get it. I am not sure if this weapon can drop from any weekly Empire Hunt or only from The Warrior (this section will be updated ASAP).
Perks:
- Mortal Polarity: Precision final blows generate a lightning bolt at the target’s location.
- Stormbringer: Rapid precision hits create a lightning storm at the point of impact.

How to get it: You can pick up Coup de Grace by getting the Improved Speaker II lure upgrade from the Crow in The Tangled Shore, so long as you’re at least reputation rank 7 with him. Once you’ve upgraded your Destiny 2 Cryptolith Lure, speak to The Spider and configure your lure with the Prey Mod: High Celebrant. Source: pcgamer.com
