destiny 2 lord of wolves

Lord of Wolves is an exotic shotgun in Destiny 2 known for its unique firing mechanics and devastating close-range potential. Heres everything you need to know: Overview Weapon Type: Exotic Shotgun (Energy Slot, Solar Damage) Firing Modes: - Burst Fire: 5-round horizontal burst (default). - Release the Wolves (Alternate Fire): Increases burst count to 10 rounds with higher damage but reduced range and stability (activated by holding reload). Origin: Fallen-themed weapon, originally tied to the House of Wolves DLC in Destiny 1. How to Obtain It Exotic Engrams: Random drops or purchased from Xûr (when available). Legendary & Master Lost Sectors: Possible reward when farming solo. Monument to Lost Lights (Exotic Kiosk): Available for purchase with: - 1 Exotic Cipher - 125,000 Glimmer - 200 Legendary Shards - 1 Ascendant Shard (Note: It no longer requires the original Wanted: Shanks quest from Spider in the Tangled Shore, as that location is vaulted.) Perks & Traits Intrinsic Perk (Shrapnel Launcher): Fires a burst of Solar projectiles (5 or 10 rounds). Trait (Release the Wolves): Hold reload to overcharge the next burst (10 rounds) with increased damage but higher recoil and ammo cost. Catalyst: Improves range and stability (obtained from playlist activities like Strikes, Gambit, or Crucible). PvE & PvP Performance PvE: Strong against majors and bosses at close range, especially with Release the Wolves active. Works well with Solar builds (e.g., Solar subclasses or Radiant buffs). PvP: Deadly in close quarters but requires precision due to recoil. The catalyst helps mitigate its wild spread. Tips & Tricks Ammo Management: Release the Wolves consumes more ammouse it sparingly. Range Control: Effective within 10 meters; beyond that, damage falls off sharply. Synergies: Pairs well with Solar exotics (Dawn Chorus, Path of Burning Steps) or mods like Solar Surge. Lore The Lord of Wolves was wielded by Shiro-4 (a Hunter Vanguard ally) and later by Variks, the Loyal during the House of Wolves rebellion. Its design mimics Fallen Shrapnel Launchers. Verdict: A high-risk, high-reward shotgun that excels in melting targets up close. If you enjoy aggressive playstyles, its a must-try! Need help with a specific build or activity? Let me know!
