The Strider Exotic mission rewards players with the mighty Winterbite Exotic Glaive once completed. Though relatively short, this Destiny 2 quest has a few prerequisites that must be met before they can even start the unlock process. Here is what you need to do to unlock the quest and then all the steps within it.
Winterbite is unlocked by completing the Strider Exotic quest, which itself is available after you complete the Lightfall campaign and then a few quests from Quinn. Here is the exact order you must complete things to acquire Winterbite:
So there are quite a few steps between starting Lightfall and finally unlocking Winterbite, but the good news is that all of the minor quests are relatively quick and easy to complete.
The first step in the Strider quest is to visit the archivist, Quinn, in the Hall of Heroes on Neomuna. Go and speak to her and you’ll be on to the next step.
This step will take you three days. You must use a Terminal Overload Key to unlock a Terminal Overload chest in each of the main regions. This activity cycles between each region every three days. We’ve got a helpful Terminal Overload schedule so you know what’s coming up. Open a chest in:
Go around Neomuna and start defeating the Cabal Shadow Legion forces. These foes are everywhere, but it might be easier to get this done in Ahimsa Park. While you’re there, head inside the Gilded Precept Lost Sector and complete it.
Head to Quinn in the Hall of Heroes and have a chat.
Go up to Strider’s memorial in the Hall of Heroes and hold the interact button to repair it.
Make your way to Maya’s Retreat via Liming Harbor. This area is on the eastern side of the map. Once in Maya’s Retreat, defeat the Vex that spawn. Your goal is to defeat the Hydras and then interact with the Confluxes.
Follow the path up and into the cavern. The fourth and final Conflux is inside the cavern.
Go back to the Hall of Heroes and speak with Quinn to claim your reward. You’ll be the proud owner of the Winterbite Exotic Glaive.
Winterbite features a few perks but the ones you care about are the Exotic traits. This Glaive is all about increasing its melee damage potential.
Unlocking the Winterbite Exotic Glaive is going to take a lot of footwork and that's before you even get the Exotic quest, Strider. You’ll need to complete four Legendary quests after the Lightfall campaign before you can even get started. When you do, you’ll need to wait three days for a full rotation of the Terminal Overload activity. However, once done you’ll have your prize.
