All main missions in Destiny 2: The Final Shape

While earning the new rifle isn’t the hardest thing to do, it still takes a while considering you need to complete all main quests and a post-campaign Exotic quest. In case you’re wondering, there are eight main missions in the Final Shape. Below is a list of all main missions.

• Mission 1: Transmigration
• Mission 2: Temptation
• Mission 3: Exegesis
• Mission 4: Requiem
• Mission 5: Ascent
• Mission 6: Dissent
• Mission 7: Iconoclasm
• Mission 8: Unlocked after the World First Raid Completion

It is estimated that it will take the average player around 12 hours to complete the main missions of Destiny 2: The Final Shape, but that depends on if you’re doing Normal or Legendary. In other words, you should be able to claim the Microcosm Exotic Trace Rifle around that time frame. Maybe a little longer, depending on how long it takes you to complete the post-campaign exotic quest.
