One of the most powerful weapons in Destiny 2 is unquestionably the Whisper of the Worm exotic sniper rifle. Whisper is one of the strongest weapons in the game for boss damage, but unfortunately it is tied behind a weekend time gate. However, one Bungie team member hinted that the time gate may soon be a thing of the past, allowing players to farm for the exotic sniper whenever they choose.

For players to unlock this weapon currently, they must wait until the weekend for the anomaly to spawn in Io, but according to Bungie Community Manager Cozmo, there may be an update soon that will allow players more access to the anomaly. One Destiny 2 fan took to the Destiny subreddit to ask Bungie to let players enter the Io anomaly more frequently. This request was made due to the fact that some players cannot play often on the weekends. Cozmo issued the following response in the comments:

Destiny 2 Cozmo Comment Whisper Update

This response has many fans speculating that players will soon be able to open the anomaly more frequently, leading to an easier way to get Whisper of the Worm. The mention of The Drifter could just be a fun nod to the lore behind the character, but it could also mean that the update is planned for the Drifter-centered expansion, Joker's Wild. While Black Armory is currently in full swing, Joker's Wild is up next and will focus on Gambit and The Drifter, so perhaps this change will come as part of the massive update that heralds the start of a new season.

The hidden Whisper of the Worm mission was one of the best highlights of Destiny 2's first year. Bungie quietly introduced the hidden quest for fans to stumble upon, and the community quickly rallied to unravel all of the secrets. From the hidden chests to the weapon's catalyst progression, Whisper had a lot for fans to uncover, but the high difficulty and time gate left some locked out of the activity. Hopefully if players can launch this activity more frequently, many more of them can get their hand on this weapon and experience this phenomenal mission.

Destiny 2: Black Armory is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
