The key to unlocking The Recluse is to complete the Pinnacle weapon quest titled From the Mouth of Babes. To obtain this, you’ll need to visit Lord Shaxx who holds onto the Crucible challenges. Speak with him and take a look at the Pursuits he offers to find and start From the Mouth of Babes.

From the Mouth of Babes asks you to complete a specific Crucible Triumph called The Stuff of Myth. Yep, that’s right, you’re going to need to play a good amount of Crucible PvP to earn The Recluse. The Stuff of Myth Triumph asks you to achieve two conditions: Win competitive matches in the Crucible, and reach Fabled Glory rank.

Win matches in the Crucible might sound simple enough, but each victory in a normal match will only grant 1% completion. Rather than grinding through 100 games or more, spending your time in the Competitive playlist will earn you more. It’s still going to take a long time to work through this challenge, so make sure you’ve got a team to roll with and increase your chance of wins.

Reaching Fabled Glory rank is simply a case of playing and winning matches in the competitive Crucible, so if you’re having success while grinding through matches for the first part of this challenge then you may well reach this rank anyway. In case you’re unsure of how Glory Ranks work in the Crucible, here’s the full list:

Guardian→ Brave→ Heroic→ Fabled→ Mythic→ Legend

Starting from Guardian, The Stuff of Myth asks you to battle up to Fabled rank. To rise through the Glory Ranks, you need to win matches in the Crucible competitive playlist. Unfortunately, losing matches will also lose you points, so it’s worth noting again that you’re better off tackling this goal with a strong fireteam. The good news is that each time you increase your Glory Rank you’ll be given a package, so you won’t be taking this task on for the Triumph alone.

Once you finally make it to Fabled Glory Rank and win enough matches in the Crucible, you’ll have completed The Stuff of Myth. All you need to do next is hand in the From the Mouths of Babes quest and you’ll be given your much deserved prize: The Recluse SMG.
