Does anyone know if the following mods are only from the Flawless Chest?
Adept Icarus
Adept Impact
Adept Blast Radius
Adept Projectile Speed
Adept Charge Time
I've done a number of GMs and those are the last 5 adept mods i am missing. I suspect they are locked to the Flawless chest because I THINK Adept Icarus only comes from that one.

Yes all those listed are only from flawless chests. I find it really weird bungie locked some adept mods behind a flawless run since trials is no longer the only place you can get adept weapons.
You are correct. The ones listed are lighthouse exclusive at this time.
I don't particularly know, but I'm in the exact same position as you, so those are probably only available from the flawless chest.
Man, I don’t get why impact, blast radius and charge time are exclusive to Lighthouse. They’d be pretty good for pve. Icarus is basically a pvp only mod so I get it.
I think its because there isn't a pve adept sword and they haven't accounted for plug one and Hezen being added to the pve side of adept loot this season..
It is because in prior seasons the weapons to put those adept mods were only available in Trials.
Now that we have those Adept weapon types in PVE is makes sense that Bungie add the proper adept mods to the GM Nightfall loot. Just another oversight by them....
thanks for all the replies u/spacewulf28, u/word-is-bond, u/Bevoo860, u/TacoTJ601, and u/Carrash22
I'm okay with very few things being locked behind certain activities like Adept Icarus because honestly +5 range wont make or break any weapon imo. Personally I'd just like to have all the mods so I can fill out the collections page being the digital hoarder i am.
Theyre locked behind the flawless chest because trials is the only place we have an Adept rocket launcher (so it drops adept blast radius and velocity), an Adept sword (so adept impact) and an Adept shotgun (so adept icarus grip)
The only mystery is adept charge time, Which should just drop with the plug one, but doesn't.
Thats my theory, and if it isnt correct, it should be as it would make more sense
I would argue that Adept Icarus can benefit most weapons not just the Adept Astral Horizon.
Also one of the nightfall weapons next season is a rocket launcher from Destiny 1 so Blast Radius and Velocity could be moved into the GM list.
Shrug on the Adept Impact, i guess it would be SUPER OP if you could apply it to any weapon.
Yeah im assuming that with us getting a shotgun and rocket launcher next season, we will be able to get every perk in GMs except impact, we ma get a sword for GMs down the line.
Does Adept Impact do more than Adept Big Ones?
No
Can confirm.
I, personally, believe there’s no reason for adept mods to be locked behind certain activities. The whole point of Destiny is mixing PvP and PvE. Some of the best ever PvE weapons come from playing PvP and vice versa.
There’s no reason mods primarily used in one activity should only be found in said activity. Palindrome is one of the best PvP weapons in the game. It’s not a problem that it comes from PvE; so why not let players get Adept Icarus in PvE, as well.
Blast radius, impact, charge time, and projectile speed at least made sense to only drop from flawless previously because they were only usable on guns that dropped in Trials. Unfortunately, now there is a fusion that could slot charge time that drops from NFs, and next sesson there will be a rocket launcher that can slot projectile/blast. Hopefully they will add those to the GM pool.
