Complete the Exotic weapon mission "Spark of Hope" to obtain Riskrunner.

There are many different ways that Exotic weapons can be acquired, including by completing Exotic quests.

Acquire Riskrunner is an Exotic weapon triumph for getting Riskrunner, an Arc Submachine Gun, from the Exotic mission "Spark of Hope".

== How to complete ==

Finish the New Light introduction and travel to the Tower.

If the quest has not appeared, open the Quest Archive terminal near the Postmaster and pick up A Spark of Hope from the New Light section.

Speak to Zavala, Ikora and Devrim in that order.

Clear three Lost Sectors in Trostland (Widow's Walk, Atrium and Terminus East).

Devrim then sends you to the Cosmodrome for the "Risk/Reward" sub-quest: defeat three Fallen Captains near the Divide, open the locked gate in the Breach, and finish the combat and jumping puzzle that involve interacting with the arc conductors.

Return to Zavala. On completion you choose one of three Exotic weapons: Sunshot, Riskrunner or Graviton Lance. Pick Riskrunner to complete this triumph.

== Tips ==

  • If you already own Riskrunner (for example from Xur), check Collections before redoing anything.
  • Riskrunner's Arc Conductor trait activates when you take Arc damage, so it works well against Arc enemies. See Riskrunner Catalyst for its upgrade (300 kills with the weapon and 300 with its chain lightning).

== Notes on sources ==

Sources describe the quest as "A Spark of Hope" while the triumph text calls the mission "Spark of Hope"; one guide describes the weapon as a post-Beyond Light early quest. Step details may differ slightly between guides and may have changed since.
