Completing the A Loud Racket Pursuit in Destiny 2 will give you the Edgewise Ritual Weapon. A Loud Racket is one of the easier Ritual Weapon quests, and Edgewise is a powerful weapon that you’ll want to get your hands on. Read on below to find out who the A Loud Racket quest giver is, and the best way to complete the First Impressions quest step.

The first step in the process of getting Edgewise is actually to pick up the quest. This part is easy. Just head to The Tower and speak with Commander Zavala. You’ll find A Loud Racket under the Pursuits tab.
How to complete the First Impressions step of A Loud Racket Pursuit in Destiny 2
So, Destiny 2 does you a bit dirty when it comes to giving you the actual numbers behind Pursuits. For A Loud Racket you’re given three goals:
- Get Machine Gun final blows
- Get Solar final blows
- Score points in strikes
Each of these objectives is measured in a percentage, which masks the real numbers behind each objective. Here’s the bottom line on what you need to do to complete the First Impressions step and get Edgewise:
- Machine Gun final blows: 1,000
- Solar finals blows: 1,500
- Strike points scored: 10,000
As you can see, there is a long road ahead of you if you want to complete this pursuit and get the Edgewise machine gun. However, this quest is at least pretty straightforward. Unlike some of the other Ritual Weapon missions, there’s nothing really tricky about any of the three goals. It just takes a while to accomplish them.

Recommended Build and Mods: This is a no-brainer. You should slap the Field Prep and Demolitionist perks on Edgewise along with a Backup Mag Legendary weapon mod. With this setup, your grenades are regularly being recharged by kills with Edgewise, and when you use a grenade, it refills a portion of the weapon’s ammo from reserves. If you pair this with armor that helps to recharge your grenades/abilities, you’ll be a bullet spraying, grenade chucking terror.
