[UPDATE] Destiny's Sleeper Simulant Has Been Found; See It In Action
Update: Following yesterday's race to get the Sleeper Simulant, the powerful fusion rifle is now available through a new mission, meaning several players are now using it in the wild. The weapon, which fits in the heavy weapon slot for your Guardian and plays like a handheld rail gun, has been the biggest mystery for Destiny players in the weeks following the launch of The Taken King.
YouTuber ChadTheWedge uploaded a video where he and his raid team went into the Vault of Glass to face off against Atheon, the original raid's challenging boss. The raid team members equipped their Sleeper Simulants and destroyed the boss in seconds flat, showcasing the power of this new weapon. You can see it in action below.
Original Story:
One of Destiny's biggest mysteries, acquiring the exotic heavy fusion rifle, Sleeper Simulant, just got a little less mysterious.
Destiny players have been working together to break down exactly how the weapon is acquired for some time. The first thing you need to do is get all four fusion rifle relics and then you should be able to pursue The First Firewall quest. From there, things get a little dicey, but Reddit has been hard at work breaking it all down, and you can find out what needs to be done here.
The Sleeper Simulant was the focus of one our features from when Destiny: The Taken King was one our cover recently. You can read all about the weapon's design here.
If you've collected the items needed to unlock it, The First Firewall is in your Director today. If you haven't, it will return in time.
