Getting the Slayer’s Fang Shotgun in *Destiny 2*

The Slayer’s Fang shotgun is your reward for completing the Kell’s Fall mission in Destiny 2. This mission is the final act of Episode Revenant.

If you’re returning to Destiny 2 and unsure how to begin, open your Director and navigate to your available questlines. Locate and track the Episode Revenant missions. The objectives are straightforward and will guide you to Kell’s Fall.

Remember to Extract Pattern from your first Slayer’s Fang to unlock crafting later.
