History of Mindbender's Ambition (Adept)

Overview

Mindbender's Ambition (Adept) is a Legendary Solar Shotgun with an Aggressive Frame, equipped in the energy slot. It is the Adept version of Mindbender's Ambition.

Acquisition

Introduced through Season of Plunder Grandmaster Nightfall rewards. Its drop is tied to the featured weekly weapon, rather than permanently to one strike. Commander Zavala's Adept focusing system offers the featured Adept weapon using Vanguard Engrams and Adept Nightfall Ciphers; legacy focusing does not provide retired Adept versions. This is a random-roll weapon, not a crafting pattern.

Recommended rolls

Surplus with Swashbuckler is a melee-oriented option. Incandescent is an alternative for spreading Scorch through combatant kills. The reissued perk pool differs from the original weapon, so older rolls should not be used as a farming checklist for this version.
