Can we still get it?

It is the best heavy fusion rifle in the game!

They said you would have to work for your rewards in y2. Don't understand why people are bitching so much about working for their exotics instead of praying to RNGesus and never get it.

You weren't stimulated?

Translation: no wolf pack tounds

You all are crazy this thing is a powerhouse.

Dude just eat right and get enough sleep, stimulants are bad for you.

[quote][b]THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT THE GUN ITSELF. THIS POST IS ABOUT THE QUEST TO OBTAIN IT.[/b] Bungie blew it. They had the potential to make a really fun and engaging questline with this gun, but they didn't. What we got seemed broken, incomplete, and downright lazy. None of it made any sense from a lore standpoint, and it certainly didn't live up to the hype. [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/07/the-life-of-a-destiny-exotic-designing-gjallarhorns-new-competition.aspx]I know Bungie didn't write this article, [/url] but damn if they didn't keep the hype train rolling. On Twitter and even in the Bungie Weekly Update they continued to drop hints to get us to keep searching for this ultimate mystery gun. Hints like "We can only show you the door...", "The truth is out there", and more. Here are some quotes directly from the article: - "The Taken King's Biggest Mystery" - "...little did we know how [i]elusive[/i] the weapon would turn out to be." - "...no one has [i]figured out how to acquire[/i] the Sleeper Simulant." - "...the community continues to [i]search[/i]" - [b]"...the ancient artifacts trigger a memory in the ancient Exo gunsmith, and he will invite players on an odyssey to repair and reactivate..."[/b] - "...unique tasks and objectives... which might even include puzzles that are too hard for any one player to figure out on their own." - "They just don’t want to spoil any of the surprises that are [i]secreted away[/i] in the landscape." Looking back on this, I can't believe some of the things I'm reading. First of all, the [i]search[/i] was for nothing. There was no great mystery, no hidden secret. 10/7 rolled along and poof, there it was. Bungie flipped a switch and out came the quest for the Sleeper Simulant. Everyone involved in the search had wasted their time and effort. Not only that, but when we saw the quest, it was NOT what any of us expected. The first step was... awful. It made absolutely no sense from a lore standpoint, a technical standpoint, or even a gameplay standpoint. The first step was to go into Rasputin's bunker and fight off some Hive. The Hive spawned in a straight line, some taken, some not, and that was that. After killing all four waves, we got a Transceiver asking for a passcode. Now here is where thinks get weird... The passcode for this object is [i]the order in which the Hive/Taken spawn in during the battle...[/i] In what universe does that make ANY sense? Why on Earth would Rasputin, an all powerful Warmind AI, set the password that locks up one of his most powerful weapons to be the [i]spawn order of some enemies that didn't even belong there?[/i] THIS MAKES NO SENSE. As an IT professional, this infuriates me. As a gamer, this disappoints me. As a hunter for the Sleeper Simulant, this just plain confuses me. I just don't get it. Upon completing the passcode we are given the IKELOS Fusion Core which we had all been searching for. How did we even get this item? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess it was just chilling inside this little tablet because that makes sense. Now we have to take this gadget around and do some stuff with it. At least [i]some[/i] of this part makes sense. Taking it around to Warsats and collecting data was one of the things we fully expected to happen. Taking it to the Ishtar Archives was also obvious, but... WHY did we take it there? This is never explained in any capacity. I was hoping to get some links to the FWC, Dr. Shim, and the other Vex-researchers who have links to Rasputin, but nope! We got no explanation. Just go do this quest and TADA here's a blueprint, now go get your gun. After turning in the fusion orb we have to wait a day for Banshee to play with it, then he tells us to go to the SABER strike. Again, little to no explanation here. We just go do the strike, get the Sleeper Simulant (I guess it was just right there the whole time?!), and take it back to Banshee to receive the gun. That's it. Where is the mystery? Where is the hype? Where are the puzzles?! The thing with the Hive doesn't count because that was just plain stupid and it made NO sense whatsoever. Whoever thought of that should honestly be fired and sent back to school. I think the gun itself is alright, it has its niche, but this quest... [b]This quest was the biggest disappoint in any game in recent memory.[/b] I hope you do better next time Bungie, but I have my doubts.[/quote]

I keep getting fuktards that end up under the map during the warsat that refuse to help.

I like the sleeper simulant. Great gun. If you cant adapt, stop playing. We aint got time to listen to whiners

It's not a complete item yet. Read the description, it even says still in progress. The part we completed(Ikelios) to get it was the start. Think necrocasm.

Actually it was Forbes to crack the code after only 19 min into the Quest. Your post surfaced roughly 28 min later. Copy much? So please don't boast cause you searched google first ;)
