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.

Obtaining the Slayer's Fang

Successful mission completion rewards you with the Slayer's Fang. You can replay the mission to obtain additional weapon upgrades and experiment with different perk combinations.

For players returning to Destiny 2, locate and track the Episode Revenant questline through your Director. The quest objectives are clear and will lead you to Kell's Fall. Remember to Extract Pattern from your first Slayer's Fang to enable crafting later.
