Unlocking Slayer’s Fang in Destiny 2

The Slayer’s Fang stands out as a versatile exotic shotgun in Destiny 2, dealing Void damage and offering customizable refits that enhance gameplay in various scenarios. Introduced in Episode: Revenant Act III, this weapon drops upon first completion of the exotic mission Kell’s Fall, complete with guaranteed Deepsight Resonance for crafting. Guardians can access it via the Last City director after starting Act III quests, making it a rewarding pursuit for players seeking top-tier Void arsenal options.

Starting Your Journey: Prerequisites and Mission Access

Before diving into Kell’s Fall, ensure you’re engaged with Episode: Revenant Act III. Open the Director map and navigate to the Last City. Interact with the holographic projector to pick up initial quests, including Kell’s Fall Arena. Completing these starter tasks grants the Slayer’s Fang frame, which activates the full exotic mission. This frame transforms into the base weapon upon mission success.

No high power level is strictly required, but matching the recommended light level ensures smoother progression. Solo or fireteam runs work, though secrets and catalysts favor repeated solo attempts for precision. Rally flags scattered throughout provide ammo and ability recharges, crucial for boss encounters.

Navigating the Kell’s Fall Mission: Complete Walkthrough

Kell’s Fall unfolds across shadowy corridors, portal jumps, and intense combat arenas inspired by Fallen lore. Launch from the Last City and prepare for a gauntlet of Mindbender enemies, tricksters, and elite enforcers.

• Initial Approach: Spawn facing stalkers; ignore them and turn around to follow the path behind. Clear initial enemies in the corridor ahead.
• Brazier Puzzles: Locate shimmering braziers next to doors. Activate them in sequence to unlock paths. Symbols may appear beside some—light matching ones to reveal hidden doors.
• First Arena: Enter the fighting pit with a rally flag. Shoot Mind Dimensions to open portals under a timed buff. Prioritize enforcers, then defeat the Mindbender boss.
• Sanctum Progression: Post-boss, revive the Mindbender via interaction. Proceed through wall holes, activate three more braziers (one hidden behind cover), and portal to the next section.
• Final Ascent: Tunnel run leads to a gravity lift. Climb stairs, eliminating adds and the recurring trickster. Reach F’s Throne Room for the ultimate confrontation.

In the throne room, focus on mechanics: collect Revenant Essence through mirror portals, debuff elites, and burst down phased bosses. Success yields the base Slayer’s Fang blueprints, setting the stage for upgrades.

Mastering Catalysts: Locations and Acquisition

Slayer’s Fang features four exotic catalysts, unlockable in a single mission run with careful exploration. These enhance handling, stability, and debuff synergy, turning the shotgun into a PvE powerhouse.

Each catalyst drops after interacting with Lucent anchors or completing specific encounters. Run the mission multiple times if needed—Legend mode rotations may also yield them via world drops. Intrinsics like increased handling from multi-target hits or RoF boosts from precision kills activate similarly.
