Destiny 2 is getting a brand-new exotic shotgun in Episode Revenant Act 3 called Slayer’s Fang, and a recent leak has revealed a new look at the weapon and some Bungie Rewards items.
Bungie has been building excitement around Slayer’s Fang, an upcoming craftable Void Exotic shotgun revealed during the recent Destiny 2 Episode Revenant Act 2 developer livestream. Set to debut in Revenant Act 3, players will be able to unlock this exotic weapon from the new “Kell’s Fall” exotic mission.
In the livestream, Bungie showcased the Slayer’s Fang’s gameplay, giving players a glimpse of the weapon’s exotic perks. And now, with the release of Revenant Act 2, it seems we have some more details on this upcoming exotic shotgun in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 Slayer’s Fang Exotic Shotgun Leak
Following the launch of Revenant Act 2, dataminers found two new images of Slayer’s Fang. The first image shows the weapon’s base model, as well as a new exclusive ornament that will be available through the Eververse store.
The second image showcases a Bungie Rewards collectible—an “Exotic Armory Collection” display for Slayer’s Fang. This reward will likely be tied to completing the Kell’s Fall mission and acquiring the weapon itself, with players able to purchase it from the Bungie Store to commemorate their in-game achievement.
You can check out these two images below.
Destiny 2 Slayer’s Fang Exotic Weapon Perks
Slayer’s Fang is a Void shotgun that has two unique perks called “Nightsworn Sight” and “Heart Piercer.” You can check out the detailed breakdown of these two perks below.
- Nightsworn 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.
Based on the datamined information, it looks like Slayer’s Fang will have four exotic catalysts. These are:
- Repulsor Brace: Defeating a Void-debuffed target grants an overshield.
- Stats For All: Hitting three separate targets increases weapon handling, stability, reload, and range for a moderate duration.
- Cascade Point: Final blows or sustained precision hits with another weapon increase this weapon’s rate of fire for a short duration.
- Loose Change: Applying an elemental debuff to a target increases this weapon’s reload speed, aim assist, and movement while aiming down sights for a short duration.
Players can expect Slayer’s Fang to drop in Destiny 2: Episode Revenant Act 3, launching on January 7, 2025. You can check out this weapon’s gameplay below!

Since this information comes from datamined sources, it’s worth noting to take everything with a grain of salt until officially confirmed. In other Destiny 2 news, Bungie has issued a statement following the ban of content creator TheAegisRelic, and has apologized for false in-game bans.
