Bungie's Destiny 2 features a quest that tasks players with hunting down the elusive NES006 hidden specimen as part of the game's Episode: Echoes.
This particular specimen is quite difficult to find, even for experienced players and that's where this handy guide comes in. Here you'll find how to pinpoint the specimen's location despite the lack of hints or waypoints seen with samples one through five.
Destin 2 NES006 Specimen Quest Guide
The NES006 specimen is known as the Assimilated Torch Hammer and is the weapon that is used by Vex Minotaurs. You can find it in any of the Echoes Battlegrounds from the latest Episode.
One place that other players have found it is in the "Core" Battleground, which is the final in the series of three. The specimen is located at nearly the very end of the mission right before players jump down to face the boss, according to Polygon.
After you reach the rally flag, go to the left and you will see a giant geyser of Ved Radiolaria behind the glass. That is where you will find the NES006 specimen tucked away in the corner of the area.
While this is a relatively simple way to get the hidden specimen, the Battleground matchmaking being random makes it a little more difficult. This is because you won't be able to select "Core" from the get-go.
After getting the hidden specimen, you will have to defeat enemies with sidearm or auto rifle-type weapons to proceed with the quest.
One recommendation for this part is the Indebted Kindness. Having Volshot is effective when fighting against groups of enemies, said Sportskeeda.
Other Requirements To Complete
Then, you have to kill enemies using Arc and Solar damage types and you can even use abilities and weapons to fulfill this condition. A good choice for completing this part of the quest is Lost Sectors.
The requirement of generating Orbs of Power is not stated outright but will contribute to the quest. If you equip Orb-generating armor mods, they would make this part of the quest much easier to complete.
After getting everything done, you can now return to Failsafe in the HELM to hear her report regarding specimen NES006. After reading through this part of the story, you should place the Assimilated Torch Hammer in the display tank.
Completing this and waiting for Failsaife's analysis to end allows you to contain the Vex Minotaur weapon and marks the end of the NES006 specimen quest in Destiny 2, according to GamesRadar.
