In this guide, you will learn how to get the Burden of Izanagi Sniper Rifle in Destiny 2. To get started, you must have three special keys. If you haven't gotten them yet, use the instructions below.
The game has a Mysterious Box, which many have since the opening of the first forge. If you don't have such a box, go to the first forge, jump onto the ledge and take the box in the cave.
The box contains four locks with specific symbols: a hand, the Black Arsenal emblem, a hook and a butterfly. They can be obtained in forges - for this, go through the first wave, and at the beginning of the second, kill the drones. After killing two of them, a message will appear - now you need to go through the forge and examine the box next to the mechanism. These boxes contain the keys you need.

How to get a sniper rifle
Now that you have three keys, it's time for the rifle:
Step 1: head to Ada-1 and get the Black Armory Key Blank, which requires 24 Watcher Lenses. To get them, go to the Leviathan raid on Nessus. Go down the drain and press the levers in the desired sequence - 1-5-3-3-2-4-6 (you have to do this very quickly), then find a location with a lot of Overseers. I advise you to choose the engine room, because there are a lot of them. All that remains is to kill them and collect the lenses.
Step 2: you must now collect 200 shiny amethysts. You can find them in stashes, open event chests, and raids.
Step 3: this step requires you to forge a key at the forge of Bergusia. To max out the forge, you must kill the drone waves (both spawn points are pretty close to the center of the map). After the victory, a chest with an arsenal key will appear.
Step 4: at this point, you can open the Mystery Box and start collecting items to create the Izanagi Sniper Rifle. The first thing you need is the Obsidian Crystal, which you can get by completing the Ada-1 Black Arsenal Champion rare bounty (it drops out randomly).
Step 5: you now need to clear the Shattered Throne dungeon to get the Nameless Corps (note that this dungeon only appears every three weeks).
Step 6: at this point you should get the Radiant Phaseglass, so head to the Pyramidion raid.
Step 7: now all you have to do is fight the fallen troll Sivix in the forge of Bergusia. It will drop the item "Not a weapon" - take it, return to the Tower and use your Hyperion core to create the "Izanagi's Burden" rifle.
