Midnight Coup in Destiny 2 remains to be one of the best weapons in the game. Obtaining it, however, is not that easy because players can only acquire it by completing various parts of the Leviathan Raid, including any chests at the end of encounters and the end of the raid. Players may also obtain it through Raid Vendor Engrams acquired with Emperor Calus Tokens earned in the Leviathan Raid. There is a possibility that this item may also come from one of the various Leviathan Underbelly Raid Chests opened with their respective Raid Key.

All methods to obtain the weapon point out to completing the Leviathan Raid. The Midnight Coup, if you are lucky, will be obtained through a drop. Some players may need to perform multiple raids before obtaining the Hand Cannon. To increase the chance of getting the weapon, it is best to group up to clear the Prestige Raid together. Prestige Raid will give almost double the amount of loot compared to the normal ones. It automatically increases your chances to obtain the weapon.

From time to time, Midnight Coup is available for purchase from the Raid Vendor as a part of rotating inventory. Players should check regularly what items are offered by the Raid Vendor.
