Unlock the Slayer's Fang Shotgun in Destiny 2: A Comprehensive Guide

Destiny 2's latest update introduces exciting new weaponry, including the coveted Slayer's Fang shotgun. This guide details how to acquire this powerful weapon.

Acquiring the Slayer's Fang

The Slayer's Fang is earned by completing the Kell's Fall mission within Destiny 2's Episode Revenant. This mission constitutes the final act of the Episode. Successful completion rewards you with the Slayer's Fang. The mission can be replayed to obtain additional upgrades and experiment with different perk combinations.

For players returning to Destiny 2, locate the Episode Revenant questline via your Director. The quest objectives are straightforward, culminating in the Kell's Fall mission.

Remember to Extract Pattern from your first Slayer's Fang to enable crafting later.

Slayer's Fang Perks

This Exotic shotgun boasts an Intrinsic perk and a unique Trait:

Perk	Effect
Nightsworn Sight (Intrinsic)	Final blows grant Nightsworn Sight. While active, final blows provide Truesight, increased reload speed and precision damage, and submunitions weaken targets.
Heart Piercer (Unique Trait)	Rounds fragment into submunitions on impact, highly effective against Overload Champions.

These perks establish the Slayer's Fang as a potent and unique shotgun, making it a valuable addition to any Guardian's arsenal, even without pursuing its catalysts.
