Revenant’s Act Two brought more Tonic Recipes to Destiny 2, giving players a new set of weapons to chase—and more Tonics to unlock.
The new Tonics in Act Two are one of the main avenues to unlock new weapons, such as Noxious Vetiver, Scavenger’s Fate, and Gridskipper. If you want some of the greatest hits from Act One, too, you can find more recipes for Exuviae and Bitter/Sweet, letting you farm them while diving into the Tomb of Elders activities and without needing to step into Revenant’s Onslaught: Salvation.
Act Two also brought a small set of Fieldwork tasks, which let you reap extra benefits when making Tonics and completing Destiny 2‘s Tomb of the Elders or the Contest of Elders (essentially the new version of Riven’s Lair and the Coil).
Here are all the new Tonic recipes we’ve found so far and how to unlock them.
How to unlock the new Revenant Act Two Tonics in Destiny 2
Just as it was in Act One, you can unlock the Tonics for the second act in the episode by brewing potions. Making enough of a tier of Tonic will unlock a recipe for the same tier or the following rarity. For instance, brewing five of an Uncommon Tonic (green) can unlock the recipe for a matching Rare Tonic (blue). It may also unlock a similar green Tonic.
Unlocking Tonics is a requirement if you want to complete the Major Fieldwork in Act Two. You need 46 recipes to access the mission, which unlocks a new type of Tonic.
Revenant: Act Two Volatile Tonics in Destiny 2
Revenant didn’t bring that many Volatile Tonics with Act Two. It only brought two new Tonics so far, and they each bolster the same Artifact Mod.
- Potent Tonic of Brawling: Unlocked by making enough Diluted Tonic of Brawling.
- Refined Tonic of Brawling: Unlocked by making enough Potent Tonic of Brawling.
In our experience, it took around five of the Diluted Tonic (green rarity) to unlock the Potent Tonic (Blue rarity), then another four blues to unlock the Refined Tonic of Brawling (Legendary quality).
Revenant: Act Two Enriching Tonics in Destiny 2
Based on our experience, Vintage Tomb of Elders weapons likely refer to Gridskipper, Chroma Rush, and potentially other reissued guns from Season of the Splicer, while Tomb of Elders weapons seemingly encompass Noxious Vetiver, Scavenger’s Fate, Exuviae, and Bitter/Sweet. All Tonics can drop their corresponding items on kills and activity completions.
Here are all the Tonics we’ve found, with a mix of our experience and data from content creator 360GameTV.
