History of Blast from the Past
Revision 5468 by archivist at 2026-10-01 23:23:21
Overview
Blast from the Past is the Exotic quest for The Chaperone, a kinetic slug Shotgun. It requires Beyond Light and is picked up from Shaw Han in the Cosmodrome or the Quest Archive in the Tower; one source says it was later moved to Variks on Europa in patch 4.0.0.1. Eight steps, a few hours in total. It is not sunset or removed that we could find, but this was not confirmed against current patch notes.
Sources disagree on who receives the data: older wiki text names Amanda Holliday, while the in-game step text in the database says Banshee-44. This page follows the in-game text.
Walkthrough
- Defeat 100 combatants; stronger enemies give more progress.
- Defeat 50 combatants with your Super and other class abilities. Supers are most efficient.
- Present the Holliday Family Blueprint data to Banshee-44 in the Tower.
- Wait while Banshee analyses it and complete the quest "A Guardian Rises".
- Return to Banshee-44 in the Tower.
- On Europa, defeat 100 targets and complete 3 Public Events.
- In Gambit or Crucible, get 150 precision kills and 100 Shotgun kills. Guardians give the most efficient progress, so Crucible is the fast option.
- Return the finished data to Banshee-44.
Rewards
- The Chaperone (Exotic shotgun)
