How To Get Mint Retrograde in Destiny 2

You get the Mint Retrograde weapon as a drop within the Pinnacle Ops activities in the game. You can earn the weapon as a drop from these activities. As of the time of this writing, Pinnacle Ops has three activities you can pursue: Encore, The Whisper, and Kell’s Fall. We recommend farming all three until you get your hands on the weapon.

PvP God Roll

The Mint Retrograde may deal a ton of damage, but its limited ammo makes it a liability in PvP scenarios. This is a weapon we do not recommend carrying into PvP, as there are many better options to play with.
