History of Keen Thistle (Adept)

Overview

Keen Thistle (Adept) is the Adept version of Keen Thistle, a Legendary Solar Sniper Rifle with an Aggressive Frame, introduced in Episode: Heresy. Destinypedia lists no specific perks. Flavor text: "Your foes will remember your sting."

Acquisition

The Adept version of Keen Thistle is a harder-to-get variant from the Trials of Osiris loot pool. Per Destinypedia it is earned by a Flawless run (seven consecutive wins) to the Lighthouse and opening the Flawless chest there; later seasons also let players focus Trials engrams with Saint-14 to get rolls of Adept weapons already earned. Destinypedia says its Adept comes from achieving a high win streak in Trials. Adept weapons take a special set of Adept mods and masterworking gives bonus stats beyond the masterwork's focus; see Adept weapons. Weapons dropped after Season of the Splicer also carry the Celerity perk per that page. Rotation and exact availability change by season, so check the current Trials pool. Craftable: none of the sources say it is.
