Collective Obligation is an Exotic Pulse Rifle built around Void subclass synergy, allowing it to absorb and redistribute powerful Void debuffs during combat.
Rather than relying on raw damage alone, it rewards players who can consistently apply effects like Weaken, Suppress, and Volatile to their targets.
In the hands of a Void-focused build, it becomes a versatile weapon capable of supporting both crowd control and sustained damage.
How To Get Collective Obligation?
Collective Obligation is obtained as a random Exotic reward by defeating Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness, the final boss of the Vow of the Disciple raid.
Since it is a raid-exclusive Exotic, repeated raid completions are the only way to increase your chances of obtaining the weapon.
