Acquiring the Slayer's Fang Shotgun

The Slayer's Fang shotgun is your reward for completing the Kell's Fall mission in Destiny 2. This mission forms the climactic conclusion of Episode Revenant's final act. While completion grants the shotgun, you can replay the mission to acquire enhanced versions and experiment with different perk combinations.

For players returning to Destiny 2, locate the Episode Revenant questlines via your Director. The objectives are clearly outlined and will guide you to Kell's Fall.

Upon receiving your initial Slayer's Fang, remember to also obtain the Extract Pattern. This allows you to craft the weapon later.

Slayer's Fang Perks

This Exotic shotgun boasts one Intrinsic perk and one unique Trait:
