Perfect Paradox is Saint-14’s legendary shotgun. If you want to get Perfect Paradox in Destiny 2, you’ll need to complete the Legends Lost mission. You’ll need to have wrapped up the Curse of Osiris story mission called Omega and be ready for Heroic Adventures before you start your quest to complete some Verses and earn the Perfect Paradox. 

Verses are handed out by Vance at the Forge, and each asks you to obtain a certain number of resources including Concentrated Radiolarian Culture, Advanced Paradox Amplifier, Fossilized Hermaion Blossom and Hermaion Blossom. Return these to Vance each time to complete the Verse and receive another. Here are the key steps in how to get Perfect Paradox.

• Complete 4 Verses.
• Return to Vance and receive the Another Verse quest.
• Complete the Signal Light mission in the Infinite Forest and return to Vance.
• Grab 2 Hermaion Blossoms, 2 Concentrated Radiolarian Culture and 2 Advanced Paradox Amplifiers.
• Complete the Not Even the Darkness mission in the Infinite Forest and retrieve Saint-14’s belongings.
• Return to Vance and forge Perfect Paradox.

That’s all you need to know about how to get Perfect Paradox in Destiny 2! Be sure to grab this fine weapon before Season of Dawn arrives on December 10 and you’ll be ready to return it to the man himself, after some unusual timey-wimey stuff of course.
