How to Unlock It

Pakhan drops from targeted LMG activities across the game, including missions, control points, and open world events. Exotic Caches from weekly SHD level projects and the season pass provide another path to obtaining it. Farming the Capitol Building or Lincoln Memorial missions with LMG targeted loot active gives efficient drop chances due to the number ofNamed enemies.

Pakhan, Explained

Every kill fattens the next magazine by a fifth of its base size, stacking to nearly double. Stop reloading after every kill and let one mag do the work of two.

Build Tips

Pakhan pairs exceptionally well with sustained DPS builds. The Striker gear set's stacking rate of fire and damage bonuses compound with Warlord's stacks for exponential damage growth. The Heartbreaker set's bonus armor and weapon damage also synergize beautifully. Use the Gunner specialization for ammo regeneration and Banshee Pulse to keep enemies close while you maintain your fire. For full setups see tested Division 2 builds.
