Alright, let me tell you how I finally got my hands on Tommy’s Matchbook. Man, I’d been wanting that thing for a while. Saw a few folks running around with it, just melting enemies, and I thought, “Yeah, I need one of those.”
So, I started looking into it. My first thought was, okay, maybe it’s some super rare drop? Or tied to a specific activity I hadn’t ground out enough. You know how it goes. I spent a fair bit of time just playing, hoping it would pop up. Did a bunch of strikes, gambit matches, crucible, the whole nine yards. Got a lot of other gear, some good, some just dismantle fodder, but no Tommy’s Matchbook. It was getting a bit frustrating, to be honest.
Then, I think I was chatting with a clanmate, or maybe I stumbled across a comment on some old forum post, I can’t exactly recall. But the gist was, if you didn’t grab it way back when it was new, you weren’t totally screwed. Someone mentioned that you can claim Tommy’s Matchbook from the season pass if you don’t have it already. That sounded way easier than praying to the RNG gods.
So, the actual hunt began, but this time in the menus.
I booted up the game and started digging through the Director and all those tabs. You know how game UIs can be sometimes – things aren’t always where you expect them. My first stop was the current season pass screen. Scrolled through all the rewards, checked the free track, checked the paid track. Nope, not there. Makes sense, it’s an old gun.
I remembered some games let you access previous season’s rewards, sometimes through the companion app, sometimes directly in the game. So, I started looking for anything that said “Past Seasons” or “Previous Season Rewards.”
It took a bit of clicking around. I had to go into the Season Pass section, and then I think there was an option to view previous seasons. It wasn’t super obvious, I’ll tell you that. I had to pick the specific season when Tommy’s Matchbook was originally available. Season of the Worthy, that was it!
Once I found the right season’s reward track, I scrolled through it. And there it was, Tommy’s Matchbook, sitting at its specific rank. Since I owned that season pass back in the day (or maybe because the game lets you claim rank 1 rewards from old passes you owned, I’m a bit fuzzy on that exact detail for all old items), the option to claim it was right there. I just had to click on it.
- Fired up the game.
- Navigated to the Season Pass interface.
- Found the option to view previous seasons.
- Selected the Season of the Worthy.
- Located Tommy’s Matchbook on the reward track.
- Clicked the “Claim” button.
And just like that, boom! Tommy’s Matchbook popped into my inventory. No crazy quests, no impossible drop rates this time around. Just a bit of menu navigation. Felt pretty good to finally have it. It’s a fun gun, definitely has that “burn everything down” vibe I was looking for. So yeah, if you missed it, check those old season pass pages. You might find what you’re looking for without too much fuss.
