What is The Last Word Quest?

A fan favorite gun that returned from the original Destiny, the Last Word brings increased accuracy and damage from hip-fire shots and the Fan Fire perk, allowing you to rapidly spam shots. The quest to get this gun can be found in the Tower by visiting the Drifter, who will hand you a strange artifact that must be “cleansed” by killing a whole bunch of Hive.

That isn’t the only step though, as the multi-part quest to unlock this Exotic requires players to earn a couple of medals in the Crucible as well.

What is the Best Served Cold Medal?

The name of this medal may sound familiar because Bungie also included it in the Halo series. Just like in that series, the gist of this is that you need to get your revenge on the last person who killed you. If you get killed by a player in PvP and manage to take them out when you next spawn in, you will get the Best Served Cold medal.

In order to do so, simply remember the name of the last player that took you down. They are your next target for getting the Best Served Cold medal. Once you respawn, hunt down that player and take your revenge. Honestly, it is likely that you’ll come upon this naturally throughout the game, so don’t focus too hard on a specific player if they are way too hard to kill.

After earning this and the Blood for Blood medal, you’ll be one step closer to unlocking the Last Word.

That’s all you need to know about how to get the Best Served Cold medal in Destiny 2.
