The Destiny 2 Ergo Sum Sword is a highly unique Exotic weapon that has lots of different Exotic perks it can randomly roll with, mashing it up with some of the game’s most iconic weapons. To get it, you need to complete the Destined Heroes quest, which is the simple but quite lengthy main endgame quest that you pick up after completing theDestiny 2 The Final Shapecampaign.

Best Ergo Sum rolls in Destiny 2

Ergo Sum has a large selection of Frame, Blade, Guard, and Exotic perks that it can roll with – even its elemental damage can be either Arc, Solar or Void.

That means it’s best for Prismatic Subclasses, but it still works with all other Subclasses.
