Destiny 2's AI-enhanced Darci sniper rifle is one of the best drops in the game, but it is pretty hard to find. Here's how you can pick up this exotic weapon in-game.

Destiny 2 is packed full of unique exotic weapons, but the most out-there of the bunch has to be the Darci sniper rifle. D.A.R.C.I (or Data Analysis, Reconnaissance, and Cooperative Intelligence device) is an Exotic sniper rifle which deals Arc damage. What makes this weapon so unique is the eponymous onboard personal assistant, that scans your foes for information, such as weak points, distance, and health. It also has fantastic aim assist allowing you to dispatch enemies with no issue even if you aren't the best at aiming.

Exotic weapons come with a set perk roll in Destiny 2, and Darci is no different, coming equipped with the following perks:

• Short-Action Stock – increases handling speed
  
• Extended Barrel – Increases range
• Extended Mag – Larger magazine
• Target Acquired – unique to Darci gives players better target acquisition and precision damage when aiming down sights

Due to its Exotic nature, the Darci sniper isn't the easiest weapon to find in Destiny 2, but we're here to lead you in the right direction.

How to get the Darci sniper rifle in Destiny 2

The Darci sniper in Destiny 2 is a world drop and thus sadly has no 100% guaranteed ways to obtain it. Players will need to farm Exotic Engrams for an opportunity to get the item as a random drop.

Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's six week delay is a good thing

Nightfalls are one of the best ways to get Exotic Engrams in Destiny 2 since you can guarantee a drop by completing a Grandmaster Nightfall with a Premium rank. The issue is getting that rank can be super challenging, so it may be worth moving to Master Nightfalls and just hoping the RNG goes in your favour. Nightfalls will also occasionally have double rewards active, so that's always a good time to farm in-game.

Another sure-fire bet is to find Xur, one of the vendors in-game, who appears each weekend from Friday until Tuesday. Xur will sell Exotic items and Engrams to players and will have one random Exotic weapon and three pieces of Exotic armour – one for each class. Xur will also sell you two Exotic Engrams per week, which will give you two shots at picking up Darci from the random roll.

Unfortunately, you'll have to rely on luck to get this exciting sniper rifle. Thankfully, once you get one exotic weapon it's removed from the RNG pool, so every time you get one you'll have a better chance of getting Darci on your side.
