Destiny 2’s Osteo Striga is a type of an Exotic SMG. Osteo Striga was introduced to the Destiny 2 universe.
The Witch Queen was the fourth major expansion pack. This pack included much usual fanfare. You can expect new content in the game, such as a new Raid and a new activity.
With Destiny 2: Lightfall on the horizon and The Final Shape still to come, the Osteo Striga is an excellent weapon you should try out.
To use this SMG, you must go through a process to get it. Let’s get into this article, where I help you know where to find the weapon and how to get it.
Is the Osteo Striga Available to All Players?
The Ostep Striga can only be crafted, meaning you’ll only need the weapon’s pattern first before anything else. Also, remember there is a condition required to unlock the Osteo Striga: you can only unlock it once you own The Witch Queen DLC.
If you have the expansion pack, you only need to follow a few steps to craft the Osteo Striga. The steps are:
- Step 1: Complete The Witch Queen expansion campaign.
- Step 2: Get the pattern at the end of the story.
- Step 3: Head to the Enclave on Mars with the pattern in your hand.
- Step 4: Now you can shape it at the Relic in the Enclave. That is all you need to craft a Osteo Striga, and now you own one.
How To Unlock Osteo Striga’s Exotic Catalyst?
The Osteo Striga Catalyst is available to owners of The Witch Queen Deluxe Edition and can be obtained by leveling up the Osteo Striga to level 10. You can do this by playing the game with the weapon and killing enemies.
Once you have reached level 10 with Osteo Striga, just go back to the Relic at the Enclave on Mars, and there you can slot the Catalyst into the Weapon in the fifth node.
You can get the Osteo Striga at the following cost.
- 3 Ascendant Alloy
- 140 Runious Element
- 2,000 Neutral Element
Once you have equipped it, you just need to complete the catalyst by getting more kills with the weapon, and after that, you can masterwork the Osteo Striga, and you’ll gain many benefits like.
- Increased stability
