The Chaperone (D2)

"My mother had a shotgun we called the Chaperone. Kept us alive out there, before we got to the City." —Amanda Holliday

Weapon Type: Shotgun

Ammo Type: Special

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Tex Mechanica

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Fires a single precision slug. Precision kills briefly boost handling, range, and precision damage.

Obtainment: Quest

Awarded by: Amanda Holliday

Other Notes: Just like the D1 version, this too, is a remake of the original which was made by (and buried with) Amanda's mother. Also, it is illegal to reload-cancel this gun.

Lore:

"The Last Safe City doesn't exist."

That's what her parents said when Nora Jericho was young. Almost as often as they said, "I'll die before I leave this land."

Nora believed them. She never had a reason not to.

She never forgot the moment she learned her mother could be wrong. It was her tenth birthday.

The same day the four-arms finally breached the bunker that had stood for hundreds of years. The same day a knight in scratched and dented armor fought them off—but not before cruel electric blades sheared through the metal orb hovering at his shoulder.

Nora helped him recover the jagged shreds of a shell. Confused but unquestioning, she helped him bury the pieces.

In thanks, he told her of the Last Safe City. Gave her a map and a shotgun, told her, "good luck," and then walked off into the desert alone.

Nora's mother didn't have room in her life for the upending of worlds. She stayed, along with half the bunker folk, in the desert.

Nora left the next day.

The Jade Rabbit (D2)

What kind of harebrained scheme have you got in mind this time?

Weapon Type: Scout Rifle

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Daito

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Chaining body shots increases next precision hit damage.

Masterwork Source: Crucible Victory

Lore:

Do you ever wonder who you were before you were resurrected? Do you experience debilitating anxiety when you think about the cold, crushing fist of death? Has the desire to lie facedown on the floor for hours at a time been holding YOU back?

From the people that brought you Lunal comes prescription-strength Immortalia: a revolutionary new combat elixir shown to relieve the crippling existential crises of your second life. Immortalia can reduce symptoms of listlessness, cynicism, and social anxiety. Side effects may include dancing, salty behavior, and acts of group heroism.

Do not take Immortalia while operating all-terrain thrust bikes.

Vigilance Wing

"The eye remains open. The Lighthouse remains lit." —Brother Vance

Lore:

"What you hold was once an beacon. We came out of the shadows seeking those willing to join our search. We staged the trials in his name. It was once a reward for the chosen few— the ones who persevered when all seemed lost."

“It was forged as an testament to his resolve, to seek answers where no one else cared to look and to continue down the path so many fell blazing. In your hand is proof that those who earned it's firepower never gave up and never lost their way. You may not know the legend of Osiris or ever dared our trials, but should we call on you, will you honor the heralds who earned this weapon's honor and continue the hunt?”

– Brother Vance, Disciple of Osiris

SUROS Regime (D2)

Nostalgia as a weapon of war. Style as a hallmark of victory.

Weapon Type: Autorifle

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Suros

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Two interchangeable modes of firing. Either increase fire rate overtime while the trigger is held, or fire slower while ADS, but do more damage while ADS.

Obtainment: Drop; Xūr

Lore:

Few weapons have withstood the test of time longer than the trusty SUROS Regime. This is Golden Age tech brought to life by the fastidious engineers at SUROS. Its smart-matter frame is prized among Guardians for both efficiency and rarity. Some things never fall out of fashion.

#destiny #destiny the game #video games #weapons #suros regime

Sturm

These ancient ceremonial pistols can be dated back to the early Golden Age. A faded inscription reads, “To Sigrun, from Victor”.

Weapon Type: Handcannon

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Unknown

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Kills with Sturm reload your energy weapon. Kills with Drang reload Sturm's magazine. Any kills with Drang while Sturm's magazine is full will overflow Sturm's magazine with bonus damage bullets up to 20.

Masterwork Source: Enemy kills on Nessus

Masterwork Perk: Significant boost to handling and range

Obtainment: Nessus Exotic Quest

Awarded by: Failsafe

Lore:

"Please! You don't understand. I'm supposed to be on that ship."

The guard smiled at Sigrun with gentle condescension. "That's not possible, ma'am."

She understood why he would believe that; all of the colonists had entered cryo two weeks ago, but she could see the crew waving for pictures. They were awake! She could be awake, too. "I'm supposed to be on that ship," she insisted, leaning around the guard. There was still time. She could find whatever horrible cryo-coffin they'd loaded Victor into; she could kneel before it and beg him to forgive her. He wouldn't hear her but he wasn't gone yet—

"I need you to take a step back, ma'am."

"Captain Jacobson!" Sigrun darted past the guard. "I'm a colonist! You can't leave without me!"

Apologies for a staggered posting schedule. Tumblr has been frustrating to work with at times. Every-now-and-then, it errors when I try to post something and will throw it away.

(i.e- I tried to post Sturm about 5 times already)

Here's hoping that next time I can actually post something!

#not a flavortext

Since the Collapse, these pistols have been retooled several times to boost their firepower. A worn inscription reads, "To Victor, from Sigrun."

The Huckleberry

Nothin' in the world that 30 rounds can't solve.

Weapon Type: Submachine Gun

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Tex Mechanica

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Holding down the trigger increases recoil and rate of fire. This effect increases more the longer the trigger is held down. Kills partially refill the magazine.

Masterwork Source: Heroic Adventures

Masterwork Perk: Kills now fully refill the magazine.

Obtainment: Drop; Xūr

Other Notes: Something being a "huckleberry" refers to that being perfect for the job at hand / just what you need.

Lore:

We used to play for keeps. Used to be that was the only way. Back in those days trust came slow, or not at all. The only thing you could truly rely on was the iron at your side. Fate of the world? Immortal gods? Don't know much 'bout that. But when everything's on the line, it's quality that counts. Tex Mechanica: we play by the old rules, the best rules. We play for keeps.

Malfeasance

"Nothing kills a Guardian faster than another Guardian." —The Drifter

Weapon Type: Handcannon

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: The Drifter

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Fires Taken slugs that burrow into enemies. Once five slugs have stacked onto one enemy, the slugs explode. This weapon deals more damage to Taken enemies and Gambit inavders.

Obtainment: Quest

Awarded by: The Drifter

Other Notes: The word malfeasance is the legal term for a law enforcement officer committing a crime of some form. Gambit being an illegal activity, Guardians playing it are committing malfeasance.

Lore:

Yes, I wrote you a note. I want you to burn this in your memory. If you're wielding this gun, I've already told you all this and more. But I want you to keep it fresh in mind.

I want you to have this. You may need it. You and I have done a lot together in this system, and I hope and pray we'll get to do a lot more.

It'll be a lot safer with you wearin' one of these. It's the culmination of a lot of things. Long time ago I set out to find a replacement for a weapon called Thorn. This will never be that, but to me, it's better. We built it together.

And all of us, with this in hand? Even the Man with the Golden Gun should have pause.

Maybe we can't out-shoot him. Maybe he can't be out-shot. But if we all take our shot together? We don't have to beat him to it.

He'll die, too.

Remember this. For when the day comes.

—The Drifter

Sweet Business

"... I love my job."

Weapon Type: Auto Rifle

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Unknown

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Holding the trigger increases range and makes the weapon gradually increase fire-rate from 300rpm to 900rpm. Ammo pick-up refills the magazine.

Masterwork Source: Rank 50 New Monarchy during Faction Rally. (Currently Unavailable. Supposedly, a change is being made to make it re-available.)

Masterwork Perk: Decreased flinch while it is firing at full speed.

Obtainment: Drop; Xūr

Lore:

“Hope you're happy!” That's all I remember hearin' afore she ran out in front of us. It was like somethin' out of a pre-Golden Age war flick, you know, where the hero's bud goes out in a blaze of glory so their death can be rightly avenged. Only she didn't die. They did. The weapon reeled like it was bein' held by a child doin' a pee-pee dance, aimin' at nothin' and hittin' everythin'. Dem spiders skittered for their lives. When she stopped, nothin' was moving. She saved us. I sidled up to her, real slow, checking out the piece and all I could do was sputter, “That there, that's some… sweet business.” She looked me over cold, lowered the gun and said, “You ain't gotta tell me.”

Cerberus+1

"Because three heads are good, but four are better." —Jeza "Jeopardy" Verlayn

Weapon Type: Auto Rifle

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Jeza Verlayn

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Fires from all four barrels at once. ADSing while firing reduces bullet spread.

Obtainment: Drop, Xūr

Other Notes: Keeping with the lore of the gun, you can see parts from other guns can be seen, including the Khvostov 7G-02.

Lore:

I had plans for the Photonic Heart.

First I was gonna take it straight to Marcus, gloat for a bit. "Look what I found, told you the rumors were true, how fast d'you think my Sparrow'd go if I swapped my engine out for it…"

Then see what I could get for it in the Bazaar. Not 'cause I wanted to sell it. Just 'cause it'd feel good to know.

Then I was gonna take a little vacation with it to Venus, and THEN I'd figure out what to do with it. At my leisure.

But no. Had to get sucker punched by an asteroid.

Barely made the landing on this dusty spit of Shore. Lost all my weapons in the crash. Heart only survived 'cause I put it in my helmet and buckled it in my seat.

So my Ghost revives me, and there I am in a crater surrounded by fragmentalized auto rifles and a Golden Age microstellar dynamo. Talk about hell.

I started with three barrels. Figured I might as well lean into the hell vibe. Shoulda known that wouldn't have been enough to really min/max with a power source this feisty. Especially once I noticed the coronal containment shield was cracked.

The first time I fired the Cerberus+1 and felt that puppy kick, I knew: plans are overrated.

Rat King

We are small, but we are legion.

Weapon Type: Sidearm

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Unknown

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Increase to all stats and full auto when nearby allies also have Rat King equipped. Reloading after a kill grants brief invisibility.

Obtainment: Titan Exotic quest

Other Notes: The name "Rat King" actually refers to a real occurance where rats will get their tails tangled together (by either a sticky substance or knots) and are stuck in a large ring.

Lore: The stories are passed from child to child, whispered in the streets and on the playground like any good legend. “Don't ever venture beyond the wall and sight of the Tower,” parents warn, citing these cautionary tales that speak of the boy's many deaths. Exposure. Hunger. Sickness. Cutthroats. Living nightmares. And on. And on. The children, however, have their own truths. To them, the boy never died. They call him the Rat King. The children believe he leads the forgotten among them out of the City on grand adventures. They say he and his misfit army saved the world. But children say many things, and the Vanguard maintains their official stance: there is no Rat King and his army never existed. That's what the elders believe. I choose to believe otherwise.

Crimson

According to official Vanguard policy, this weapon does not exist.

Weapon Type: Handcannon

Ammo Type: Kinetic

Slot: Primary

Foundry: Unknown Guardian

Rarity: Exotic

Exotic Perk: Fires a three round burst. Kills heal the wielder. Precision kills refill the magazine.

Masterwork Source: Killing any enemy anywhere in the System has a chance to drop this.

Masterwork Perk: +20 Range

Obtainment: Drop, Xūr

Lore: "This is crazy! You don't need this thing. I can heal you; that's my whole job."

"I thought your job was to state the obvious."

"What?"

"Oh, come on. Ever since you found me, it's been, 'Watch out, Fallen ahead!' when they're right in front of me. Or, my favorite: 'Seems like the door's locked.' Is it? Really? I couldn't tell. And when it's not that, you say I need to be more self-sufficient in case we lose the Light again. So here's my answer. Here's the remedy."

"I was just trying to help."
