The Division 2 guide: How to get the Liberty Exotic sidearm

The Liberty sidearm is a powerful Exotic Desert Eagle in The Division 2. It’s a great catchall Exotic, with an excellent perk that still works when you holster the gun. If you’re looking for a gun that’s always useful, and doesn’t take up a primary weapon slot, you want to get this Exotic.

This guide will teach you how to find Liberty’s crafting materials and put the gun together.

Note: If you get a D50 sidearm at any time in The Division 2, do not sell or dismantle it. You will need one for the final step of this quest.

You’ll need to play one more mission before you’ve gathered all the crafting materials. Play through the Space Administration HQ mission and defeat the flaming grenadier boss at the end of the mission. They’ll drop the blueprint for the Liberty and the final crafting materials: Grips and Tags.

Step 5: Find a D50 sidearm

This is the part of the mission where you’ll need to get lucky. You need to play The Division 2 until you get a D50 sidearm. This gun is very rare, and it drops randomly. If you get one, hold onto it until you’re ready to build a Liberty.

Step 6: Craft it
