Acquiring the Slayer's Fang Shotgun
The Slayer's Fang shotgun is earned by completing the Kell's Fall mission within Destiny 2. This mission forms the climactic conclusion of Episode Revenant's three-part storyline. Successful mission completion rewards you with the Slayer's Fang. Repeat playthroughs allow for further upgrades and perk experimentation.
For players returning to Destiny 2, locate the Episode Revenant questline via your Director. The quest objectives are clear and will lead you to Kell's Fall.
Upon receiving your initial Slayer's Fang, remember to also extract its pattern. This enables future crafting.
Slayer's Fang Perks
This Exotic shotgun boasts one 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 enemies. |
| Heart Piercer (Unique Trait) | Rounds fragment into submunitions on impact, highly effective against Overload Champions. |
These perks establish the Slayer's Fang as a formidable and unique shotgun, making it a worthwhile addition to any arsenal, even without pursuing its catalysts.
