Destiny: Rise of the Iron expansion pack is now available and it's reported to bring back more exotic weapons from the previous versions. One of these reported exotic weapons that are set to make a comeback is the Khvostov 7G-0X. It was reported that Khvostov 7G-0X is the very first weapon players get when playing Destiny. Although, it is not quite useful as it looks. Players tend to keep it as a memento which, currently, turned out to be paying off as it was considered as one of the exotic weapons on the latest Rise of the Iron expansion.
According to Game Rant, Rise of the Iron's version of Khvostov 7G-0X has made a lot of improvements from its previous version. It was reported that the weapon now has various types of firing options, either a scout, pulse or an auto rifle. For players who are interested in acquiring the Khvostov 7G-0X rifle, you can get them through a side quest. However, acquiring these weapons are not required so that the flow of the game remains constant.
Based on the reports from Heavy, players can possibly find the weapon in the field through a hidden side boss that is reported to be located in the Cosmodrome. First, go to the area where the Fallen Tank used to fight right before the Rise of the Iron patch. Walk your way towards the wall where the head of the Fallen Tank is facing. Then, you might find yourself on a long hallway full of laser beams and a console beside it.
It will then require an Intel Relay which was reportedly obtainable via killing a high-level Fallen or Hive in the Plaguelands. It was suggested to stock some of these Intel Relay before entering the quest. Upon exiting the wall, a massive Fallen Ketch will be seen while your Ghost will give you a dialogue about a Pilot Servitor.
After that move in, kill all the Fallen Ketch including the boss that is located inside the loading bay. Once done, open a chest in the back right that will give you a key item to start building the exotic weapon. Head back to Felwinter and have a conversation with Shiro-4 which he will give you the official quest for the Khvostov 7G-0X called We Found a Rifle. Complete the quest in order to get the exotic weapon.
