In Destiny 2's Season of the Worthy, the game adds two exotics, Tommy's Matchbook auto rifle and The Fourth Horseman shotgun. The Fourth Horseman is a returning exotic from Destiny 1, albeit it works a bit differently in the sequel. The exotic quest for The Fourth Horseman is expected to go live on the upcoming March 17th reset based on the latest "Next Week in Destiny!" in-game splash message.
The Fourth Horseman in Destiny 2 shares the same "Thunderer" perk as the original version, which allows for faster and full-auto fire. But the new version of The Fourth Horseman has a secondary exotic perk called "Broadside" that gives each successive shot more damage and more spread. "Broadside" replaces the "Return to Sender" perk that had a chance to grant bonus ammo back to the magazine upon getting a kill.
The Fourth Horseman is unlocked through an exotic quest with the following steps. Spoilers for the quest follow.
1. Enter the Vault
Gain access to the vault through the secret pathway in Zavala's office.
Zavala will call on Guardians to enter his office and find a secret pathway through the Tower. This is very reminiscent of the Leviathan's Breath quest that Banshee sent players on in the Tower as they navigated through a secret entrance and through different ducts and shafts of the Tower to find the location of Leviathan's Breath in a hidden room.
2. Missing in Action
Return to Zavala and inform him the weapon is missing from the vault.
At the end of the path through Zavala's office, players will find that The Fourth Horseman is missing from its place. The next step of the quest is to return to Zavala and tell him the news.
3. Fresh Lead
See if Ana has some tech to help track the missing weapon.
From there, Zavala will tell players to go talk to Ana Bray, who is featured in this season along with Zavala, for a lead in tracking down the missing exotic. Players should fly to Hellas Basin on Mars and proceed to go talk to Ana Bray.
4. On the Hunt
Collect intel for Ana by defeating Cabal or completing public events on Mars.
Ana gives players the mission to defeat Cabal and/or complete public events on Mars. This is straightforward and self-explanatory. Players need to collect 1,000 pieces of intel from Cabal and public events to progress to the next quest step.
5. Return to Ana
Take the collected intel back to Ana and see what she can discover.
Next, simply return to Ana to progress to...
6. In the Shadows
Ana will need you to bring her some information from Calus's double agents in the Red Legion. Defeat Psions and loot Cabal chests to gather it.
Players will stay on Mars as they need to defeat Psions and open Cabal chests in order to collect 50 pieces of data. Easily the best place to do this is the Ma'adim Subterrane Lost Sector in Glacial Drift on Mars. When players fly into Glacial Drift, they should keep their eyes open for Cabal chests, or equip a Ghost Shell with the Treasure Hunter perk (such as the Eris Morn Ghost Shell from Shadowkeep) to help detect them, as they progress to the right side of the area to go into the Lost Sector. This Lost Sector is plentiful with Psions so it should be a good spot to farm.
7. Under Our Nose
Now that you've gathered intel from Calus's agents, see if Benedict 99-40 can be persuaded to help.
From there, players need to fly back to the Tower, specifically the Annex landing zone, to talk to Benedict 99-40.
8. Dirty Work
Benedict needs you to eliminate the encryption signals coming from the EDZ. Defeat combatants, complete public events, and complete patrols.
Here's another quest step that will require 1000 items to be collected, but this time they are encryption signals that will come from getting kills in the EDZ, by completing public events, and also patrols. The EDZ is littered with frequent public events, which is likely to be the most efficient way to both kill enemies and complete public events. There may also be the chance that completing Heroic public events could grant increased items.
9. Rein it In
Return to Benedict 99-40.
Then, it's back to Benedict 99-40 in the Tower to check-in and get the next lead for the final step of the quest.
10. Lost and Found
Benedict has given you the location of the missing weapon in exchange for using this Cabal slayer to smash the Red Legion.
Finally, players will need to clear out the Legendary Lost Sector called The Quarry in Sunken Isles on the EDZ. And with that, players will receive The Fourth Horseman.
This is the second of two exotics from Season of the Worthy, one fewer than previous seasons. The other, Tommy's Matchbook, can be collected right away from paying players on the premium track of the season pass, while it will unlock at Rank 35 on the free track.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
