Bungie has recently released new content for Destiny 2 as part of the company's 30th anniversary. This new content has delivered fresh weapons and gear to players, including the 1000-Yard Stare, a legendary sniper rifle that was first seen in Destiny and is now making its return in Destiny 2. The sniper can only be found through Bungie's new dungeon, The Grasp of Avarice.
How to Get 1000 Yard Stare in Destiny 2
Destiny 2 players are familiar with the current system of acquiring Destiny's legendary weapons and gear. Most come as random drops from specific activities, and the 1000-Yard Stare is no different. Players can get the gun from the dungeon The Grasp of Avarice, a three-player activity that was introduced as part of Bungie's anniversary. The sniper rifle comes from the chest at the end of the dungeon after the final boss, Captain Avorakk the Covetous, is defeated. The 1000-Yard Stare is a random drop, which means that players aren't guaranteed to get the weapon upon completion of the activity.
The 1000-Yard Stare, like the other legendary weapons in the game, can be acquired with a few different perks. Players who want the most powerful version of the weapon might have to do The Grasp of Avarice dungeon multiple times to receive the sniper with all the best abilities. These include 'Tactical Mag,' 'Triple Tap,' and 'Dragonfly.' For players who want to use the sniper in the Crucible, there is another set of perks that might be better suited to PVP combat.
The weapon is a secondary gun and uses special ammo, just like many other snipers in the game. There are also some players who have been claiming that the aim assist on the weapon makes it more difficult, and also more rewarding, to defeat players in the Crucible.

In fact, the 1000-Yard Stare could become the royalty of PVP. It has a smaller zoom than the others snipers in the game, which means it's better suited for the Crucible's smaller maps and fast-paced combat. The weapon can also come with the perks 'Quickdraw,' and 'Snapshot Sights,' which are great additions to players' arsenals. The rest of the sniper rifle's statistics are comparable to other popular snipers, marking it as a useful weapon for nearly any activity in Destiny 2.
The 1000-Yard Stare truly is an all-around success. It can take some time to learn how to use, but it feels great and has lost none of the grandeur it claimed in Destiny. It's also nice to see Bungie adding favorites from the original game into Destiny 2. It has been working to make Destiny fresh even after all these years, and though there are still so many things that need to be addressed, Bungie is taking the necessary steps to introduce compelling content and items.
Destiny 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
