Undercurrent is a Legendary Arc Special Grenade Launcher with a Wave Frame, meaning shots create a ground wave that clears lines of enemies efficiently. It’s a Nightfall weapon introduced in Season of the Wish.
Undercurrent drops from Nightfall completions and has higher drop odds on tougher difficulties; it does not drop from regular Strikes. After you’ve earned your first copy, additional rolls can also be pursued through Zavala focusing (costs and requirements depend on the current system).
Not really. Wave frame grenade launchers are generally weak in Crucible compared to other special options, and Undercurrent’s perk pool is clearly tuned for PvE value.
Yes. Undercurrent is widely treated as an A-tier PvE pick because wave frames are naturally strong for add-clear, and perks like Voltshot and utility options in the first trait column support constant wave-to-wave tempo.
Undercurrent Adept version is obtained from Grandmaster Nightfalls when Undercurrent is the weekly featured Nightfall weapon. Adept weapons also support Adept Mods and gain extra stats when masterworked, which is why the Adept version is the endgame target.
