Talk To Ada-1

Ada-1 is the vendor NPC that deals with every Black Armory. Players can find her in the Tower Annex on the left side of the map. Her station is above the Drifter's room. Talking to Ada for the first time will give players a quest. This quest is given in the form of a Machine Gun frame. Players will need to complete multiple sets of objectives tied to the frame to craft the gun in a forge. Once players finish the frame and obtain Hammerhead, they will be able to forge guns at any Black Armory forge.

Basic Machine Gun Frame

Hammerhead will first require players to obtain a Weapon Core and 25 Compound Ether. Ether is easy to obtain, a resource that is granted by defeating Fallen. The Weapon Core is less simple. On the EDZ, players must find a stolen Black Armory crate and loot it to obtain a Weapon Core. These crates are protected by a shield that will only drop once players kill the nearby Forge Sabotouer min-boss. Shoot the drones surrounding the foe to drop their shields and deal as much damage as possible. Once defeated, head to the Black Armory crate and loot its contents.

Machine Gun Alpha Frame

The next step is to kill 50 Hive using Power weapons while also achieving 15 multikills with Power weapons. By far the easiest place to complete both tasks is Mars. and multikills quickly. Machine Guns work best for this step, but players that don't have any should use a Sword or Grenade Launcher to make multikills easier to achieve.

Machine Gun Beta Frame

Once the Alpha Frame step is complete, players will be tasked with defeating 25 powerful enemies to calibrate the gun. Powerful enemies are enemies with yellow health bars, otherwise known as majors or bosses. Escalation Protocol has tons of powerful foes in its later waves. Try to join an instance that is at wave four or higher to get this objective done fast. Alternatively, players can head to the Dreaming City's Blind Well activity, which is easier to solo than Escalation Protocol is.

Machine Gun Calibrated Frame

Before players can craft Hammerhead, they will need to charge the gun by finding Radiant Seeds from powerful foes. As before, Escalation Protocol and Blind Well are good activities for this step, but there is a better method that is much easier. Travel to Mars and enter the Core Terminus Lost Sector. It can be found west of Braytech Futurescape inside a building. Head to the end of the Lost Sector and defeat the boss to receive a large bundle of Radiant Seeds. Do this twice to fully charge the frame.

Forge Hammerhead

Return to Ada-1 in the Tower to calibrate the frame for forging. A quick dialogue prompt will grant players their frame back and allow them to forge it. Any Black Armory gun can be made at any forge. on the Director and look at the bottom left of the map to find a forge. Launch the activity and complete the activity, using batteries from slain foes to charge the forge. Defeat the final boss and claim Hammerhead. This will unlock every forge in the game once completed. However, do note that forges rotate daily.

Tip 1 Purchase Bounties From Ada-1

As with most vendors, Ada-1 has a wide selection of weekly and daily bounties for players to complete. Weekly bounties give Ballistics Logs, which are used to purchase legendary weapon frames, while daily bounties give Modulus Reports. Players can use Modulus Reports on Research frames. Bounties also have a rare chance to grant rare bounties when turned in. These bounties offer much better rewards but are more taxing to do, some of which requiring players to . A rare bounty is needed to complete the Izanagi's Burden quest.

Tip 2 Curated Weapons

Obtaining the first two legendary frames from Ada-1 every week has a small chance of granting a curated weapon roll. Curated weapons are unique in that they come already Masterworked and have a set roll curated by . Some examples of curated rolls are Kindled Orchid's roll and Ringing Nail's Dragonfly and Rampage roll. Curated rolls can drop from any forge if players have a legendary frame, not just the Bergusia forge as was the case before Shadowkeep. Complete weekly bounties for Ballistics Logs to have two chances of obtaining a curated roll every week.

Tip 3 Research Frames

Research frames are also available from Ada-1 for four Modulus Reports each. These mini-quests can be completed to obtain guns from the respective bounty. For example, completing Crucible Research frames will always grant a Crucible-themed gun. The reason these are worth running is that the final perk column has two perks instead of one. This can make farming for a great roll much easier for certain weapons. Better yet, every weapon that has been that is also in the Research frame pool drops with the Season of Arrivals Power cap, meaning players can farm Arsenic Bite-4B or Gambit weapon rolls much more reliably.

Tip 4 Earning Exotics

Black Armory content also has three Exotics tied to it: Jotunn, Le Monarque, . All three Exotic quests can be obtained from Ada-1 once players craft their first weapon. Jotunn and Le Monarque are rather easy to complete, requiring weapon forge completions and enemies defeated. Izanagi's Burden is much more difficult and relies on content that is about to be sunset. Get all three quests completed before their steps change when Beyond Light launches.
