Head to the Lost Oasis area of Io to get a revamped version of the Black Spindle Exotic sniper, called Whisper of the Worm

Destiny 2 players are busy preparing their hearts, minds, and inventories for the Forsaken expansion in September, but now a few players have stumbled up on a secret mission that rewards them with a revamped version of the Black Spindle Exotic sniper, called Whisper of the Worm.

To find the mission for yourself, you'll need to go to Io and wait for public events to spawn. To access this mission - called The Whisper - you'll specifically need the Taken Blight public event. 

Once it starts, keep an eye out for a named Taken Knight who'll leg it and retreat to a cave. Kill him before he leaves the cave and a portal will appear nearby. If you activate the portal, you'll be able to enter a Lost Sector and find a secret area.
