Submersion is a Stasis crossbow that was added in the Ash & Iron update, giving Guardians another crossbow to use in both PvE and PvP.
Featuring a High-Impact Frame, this weapon fires slower than other weapons but deals a decent amount of damage, and being a new type of weapon, Guardians can’t wait to get their hands on it.
Whether you are clearing activities or facing off against other players, Submersion fits into a variety of builds and loadouts depending on your playstyle.
How to Get Submersion Crossbow?
Submersion can currently be obtained through the New Territories: Reclaim activity, which has you fighting through multiple locations similar to the Overthrow activity.
Additionally, this weapon will be available through the Call to Arms event when it goes live again, giving Guardians another chance to add it to their arsenal.
