Just like it was when the weapon first debuted as part of 2020’s Beyond Light expansion, you can get the Cloudstrike Exotic Sniper in Destiny 2 by taking part in Empire Hunts.

The Cloudstrike will be a rare drop, meaning that you may have to complete a few hunts (if you are lucky) in order to add the weapon to your arsenal. Taking into account claims by many players in the game’s community, the average player seems to be able to get the weapon on around their fifth to tenth try.
