You can farm it infinitely during that week until you obtain one copy. So you only need the required power level to participate in Nightfall: The Ordeals and wait for this Heavy Machine Gun&nbsp;to be the featured Nightfall weapon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAQ 2: How hard is it to get The Swarm?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Getting this Heavy Machine Gun in Nightfall: The Ordeals is hard, as it can only be obtained after you kill the boss. In addition, the drops are RNG, so it might take 10 runs or more. On top of that, Nightfall: The Ordeals is more challenging than a Strike due to enemies having barriers and the presence of champions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAQ 3: How do you increase the Swarm drop rate?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Fortunately, you can increase the drop rate of The Swarm by increasing the difficulty of Nightfall: The Ordeals. But remember that increasing the difficulty will also increase the power level requirement. Higher points also increase the weapon&#8217;s drop rate, so we recommend you to have a complete Fireteam when doing a Nightfall: The Ordeals.<\/p>\n<p>That is all for our article on the Legendary Arc Machine Gun, <a href=\"https:\/\/omggamer.com\/blog\/destiny-2-the-swarm-weapon-pvp-pve-god-roll\/\" data-lasso-id=\"47152\"><strong>The Swarm<\/strong><\/a>.
