Obtaining the Slayer's Fang Shotgun

The Slayer's Fang is earned by completing the Kell's Fall mission within Destiny 2. This mission forms the climactic conclusion of Episode Revenant's third act. Successfully finishing Kell's Fall awards you the Slayer's Fang. You can replay the mission to obtain additional upgrades and experiment with different perk combinations.

For players returning to Destiny 2, locate the Episode Revenant questline via your Director. The objectives are straightforward, leading you directly to Kell's Fall.

Upon receiving your initial Slayer's Fang, remember to also acquire the weapon pattern for future crafting.
