My level 20 got a legendary heavy machine gun that requires ascendant energy to upgrade, but there is no way for a level 20 to get the ascendant energy materials needed to upgrade the weapon in light of all the recent changes!
Should legendary weapons that require ascendant energy to upgrade still be dropping in Destiny? If so, how is a level 20 supposed to get them?

Doing the daily heroic missions that are pre-HoW all give you 2 ascendant materials on the hard difficulty. Run them every day. They are not that difficult and can be finished in a short amount of time. If you get shards rather than energy, do not fret. You can exchange them at the speaker.. If you have the chance, run the Vault of Glass Raid. Guarantee you will come out with at least 12 ascendant materilas.
