Destiny 2 officially reveals new Exotic Shotgun 'Slayer's Fang'
The Slayer's Fang Shotgun was officially revealed as a new Exotic weapon for Destiny 2 Revenant Act III. On November 12, the company held a developer's livestream to talk about the content coming to the game with this month's major update. However, the new Exotic Shotgun was revealed a bit ahead of time to give the community an idea of what is to come.
While the official clips of Slayer's Fang Shotgun show its firing type and a few perks, some dataminers found out more details on the weapon, including the perk names, and upcoming Catalysts.
Since this weapon will be tied to an Exotic mission, there will be four Catalysts for players to farm, alongside Intrinsic upgrades as well.

Slayer's Fang confirmed as the next Destiny 2 Exotic obtainable from mission
The first teaser for the Slayer's Fang Shotgun in Destiny 2 was seen in one of Bungie's press kits alongside Revenant's release, where an image of a weapon was made public. However, shortly after, it was revealed via multiple leaks that the weapon was a Shotgun, specifically a Slug Framed archetype with ricochet rounds.
Like many other Exotic weapons, the Slayer's Fang also has two traits, which were confirmed with the recent developer's livestream.
Here are the traits:
- Exotic Intrinsic, Nightsword Sight: Dealing final blows to targets grants Nightsworn Sight. During that time, final blows grant Truesight, ammo slowly reloads from reserves, and submunitions weaken targets.
- Heart Piercer: Rounds from this weapon shatter into submunitions on impact. Strong against Overload Champions.
As mentioned, the weapon will also come with four different Catalysts, farmable via multiple runs of the Exotic mission. The mission has been confirmed to be "Kell's Fall," a name that can be found in one of the tonic reagent's drop source descriptions.
Here is a list of Catalysts that have been datamined from API:
- Repulsor Brace
- Stats For All
- Cascade Point
- Loose Change
Destiny 2 Episode Revenant Act III is scheduled to go live on January 7, 2025, alongside the Exotic mission "Kell's Fall."
