Destiny 2‘s Festival of the Lost introduces a selection of unique weapons alongside its festive activities. A standout this year is the Arcane Embrace, an innovative shotgun that has a new firing mechanism, launching two slugs with each trigger pull. With its ideal perks, it becomes a formidable choice for taking down challenging enemies or inflicting damage on bosses.

The Arcane Embrace is exclusively obtainable during the Festival of the Lost and can only be obtained from particular sources. Here’s how to acquire it and the optimal perks you should aim for.

You can acquire Arcane Embrace exclusively by finishing the Haunted Sectors activity, which is part of the Festival of the Lost, or by visiting the event vendor, Eva Levante, in the Tower. The great news is that you’ll definitely receive an Arcane Embrace just by completing the short quest line that Eva provides at the beginning of the Festival of the Lost to help you get familiarized with the event. This particular version is exceptional, featuring Trench Barrel and Dual Loader, which are only available as rewards from Eva. After that, you can participate in Haunted Sectors for a chance to earn additional Arcane Embrace rolls as rewards.

You can also decrypt Eerie Engrams obtained from the event for a possibility of acquiring the shotgun. Eva allows you to “focus” your Eerie Engrams to target specific rewards rather than getting a random item from the Festival loot pool. As long as you have the Candy to spend, you can guarantee new Arcane Embraces by stopping by her.

Arcane Embrace fires two shots for every pull of the trigger, enabling it to deal substantial damage very rapidly. The challenge lies in maintaining a full ammo supply to ensure consistent damage output. Concentrate on enhancing your reload speed to get the weapon reloaded swiftly, and place a secondary focus on handling to facilitate quick transitions to it when necessary. The Fourth Time’s the Charm perk helps keep the gun loaded, as landing precision shots returns ammo, which is advantageous since each blast delivers two hits. The Surrounded and Precision Instrument perks are excellent for increasing damage. Utilize Precision Instrument if you’re adept at landing headshots, and Surrounded when you can engage multiple enemies simultaneously to maximize your effectiveness. Although Surrounded provides a more pronounced damage boost, it can be trickier to activate.

It’s important to highlight that the Dual Loader / Trench Barrel combination you receive from Eva as a quest reward is particularly impressive. Currently, you can’t obtain that specific version through random rolls, making it a solid substitute compared to other god roll options.

You can achieve impressive results in PvP with Arcane Embrace using its two shots, but it functions similarly to a slug shotgun, making precision crucial. Therefore, investing in stability is advisable, particularly since you can receive significant range enhancements from other perks. The advantage of Slideshot, which includes improved range and stability along with reloading the magazine, is difficult to overlook in the Crucible. Additionally, Closing Time is beneficial for enhancing stats that can give you an edge in combat, including range; however, be mindful that you need to reduce the magazine to at least half to activate it when deciding when to reload.
