In comparison to the knife the sword is far more effective because it finishes off the weaker enemies in one go. The Sword is a melee weapon of course, but its power is incredible and you'll be able to slash a wide area whilst you swing the sword over your head or from side to side. During the mission you'll reach a Gatehouse area and the objective is to Kill the Swarm Princess, it's at this stage where you'll see the Sword floating in the middle of the room. I think this is the 3rd mission on the moon but at level 7 it shouldn't take you too long to unlock it. But the best part about this mission is the chance to collect the Destiny Sword and use it in combat.

It's a Co-operative Fireteam mission for 1-3 players and you'll get some basic rewards such as Armour Upgrade and XP bonus. The mission requires you to infiltrate the Hive Fortress and destroy the legendary Sword of Crota, a weapon which was once used to slay thousands of Guardians. Via Sword of Crota Mission You should be familiar with ranking by now so the first requirement to use the sword is to reach level 7 and play "The Sword of Crota" level which is one of the Moon missions in the Ocean of Storms. For The Taken King guide please see this post: The Taken King Sword Quest Guide 1. UPDATE: The Taken King - Sword Quest The original post below was written back in Vanilla Destiny. Now with the official release of Destiny I found out how you can use swords in the game. Before Destiny was released there was a tonne of speculation about swords in the game, but more recently the strategy guide featured images of swords which all but confirmed it.
