How to get Hierarchy of Needs in Destiny 2
Hierarchy of Needs is a 
Solar Exotic bow from the 
Spire of the Watcher dungeon. Persys, the final boss, drops it. Each Persys clear rolls a new chance at the bow. Raid and dungeon Exotics are farmable in 
Monument of Triumph.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Unlock Spire of the Watcher. The Witch Queen Dungeon Key opens it. Destiny 2: The Collection includes every Dungeon Key. |
| 2 | Launch Spire of the Watcher from the Raids and Dungeons node on the Director. |
| 3 | Clear the 3 encounters: the climb up the Spire, Akelous, then Persys. |
| 4 | Check your rewards after Persys. Each new Persys clear is a new chance at the bow. |
| 5 | Complete the Triumphs in the next section to raise your odds. |
A PRO can farm Persys on your account until Hierarchy of Needs drops.

How to raise the Hierarchy of Needs drop chance
Bungie has not published the drop rate for Hierarchy of Needs. These Spire of the Watcher Triumphs raise it once you complete them:
| Triumph | What it asks |
|---|---|
 Solo clear | Complete all encounters solo, without leaving the activity. |
 Resident Vexpert | Complete the dungeon on Master difficulty. |
 Devil in the Details | Find and listen to every hidden recording in the dungeon. |
Each Triumph you complete raises the chance for every later clear. The Master clear for Resident Vexpert also drops the catalyst, so 1 run serves both goals.
The rest of the dungeon's weapons and armor are in our dungeon loot tables.
How to get the Hierarchy of Needs catalyst
The 
Hierarchy of Needs catalyst comes from a Master clear of Spire of the Watcher. After it drops, the bow needs 700 kills to unlock it.
| Part | Hierarchy of Needs catalyst |
|---|---|
| Source | A Spire of the Watcher clear on Master difficulty |
| Unlock | 700 targets defeated with Hierarchy of Needs |
| Perk |  Panoptic Tessellation |
In the game's words, deploying a 
Guidance Ring or striking a target with a seeking projectile "improves draw time, hip-fire accuracy, and reload speed for a moderate duration". Update 9.7.0 added the hip-fire accuracy on 9 June 2026.
For the 700 kills, pick rooms full of weak enemies and keep the bow out. Other Exotic catalysts and their unlock steps are on our exotic catalyst list.
What Hierarchy of Needs does
Hierarchy of Needs is a Solar Combat Bow that uses Primary ammo. Its kit has 2 perks.
| Perk | What it does |
|---|---|
| Guidance Ring | Precision hits and final blows build Guidance Ring energy. Opposing Guardians grant extra energy. At full charge, hip firing creates a Guidance Ring. |
 Apollonic Tangent | Arrows fired through a Guidance Ring release seeking projectiles. The seekers scorch targets and deal more damage the farther they travel. Precision hits guide them toward their targets. |
To use it, charge the ring with precision hits, then hip fire to place it. Fire your next arrows through the ring. The seekers hit harder over distance, so keep some range on the target.
Update 9.7.0 on 9 June 2026 made the seekers scorch the targets they hit. It also added hidden tracking that guides seekers toward targets hit with precision damage.
