Heaven’s Sting is a legendary gear item from the multiplayer Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. It is a legendary Blowgun that goes in the Ranged gear slot and can only be equipped by the Assassin or Ronin (with perk).
How to Get Heaven’s Sting
Heaven’s Sting is obtained as a legendary random drop when completing Ghost of Tsushima: Legends missions.
Because it doesn’t drop from a specific event, the best way to get Heaven’s Sting is to complete Nightmare difficulty missions and Tales of Iyo raids for their overall increased chance of legendary drops.
Although no specific game modes reward any item, playing through game modes as the Assassin increases the player’s chance at getting Heaven’s Sting.
