How to Get Throne Cleaver in Destiny 2

You will be able to get the Throne Cleaver through Defiant Engrams if you are a Titan. This is a class-specific weapon so if you are a Hunter of Warlock you can’t acquire it from the Engrams. By using the H.E.L.M.’s Defiant Engram Decoding menu you can try and decrypt “Recovered Leviathan Weapons” to get the Throne Cleaver.

Without a doubt, one trait that you will want to have equipped for your PvE build is Incandescent. With the Throne Cleaver, you will cause a number of explosions with just one swing of your sword. It is a powerhouse of a trait to have on the Throne Cleaver so be sure you have it on. The trait itself is craftable at Weapon Level 8.

For extra damage in PvE, we recommend having the Tempered Edge blade active for the increase in both ammo and damage. Tireless Blade is another trait that will be useful to have because of the ammo that you will get returned back with the powered sword kills.
