'''Maker's Bequest''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]] [[Scout Rifle]]/[[Shotgun]] hybrid that was first released in [[Forum:Season of Sorrow|Season of Sorrow]] through its seasonal track. With the release of ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' expansion, the weapon would become craft-able with new sets of perks. Beginning in ''[[Season of the Witch]]'', the Shotgun mode was added through its catalyst and does {{Icon|Strand}} Strand damage.

==Perks==

*'''Unmaker's Bound:''' 
**When firing from the hip, shots fired are poisonous bolts that track targets.

===Catalyst===
The quest to obtain the [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for Maker's Bequest wouldn’t be unlocked until [[Season of the Witch]], which could only be obtained by completing a certain challenge within the [[Forum:Temple of Exultation (raid)|Temple of Exultation]] [[Raid]] by using the Maker's Bequest to destroy certain objects across the raid and upon reaching the final boss room must find the last of these destructible objects and acquire the catalyst.

The catalyst, once completed, will grant an additional perk:

*'''Cataclysm:'''
**Cataclysm stacks are acquired from hip fire kills, which allow the weapon to swap into its fast firing shotgun mode which that is effective against {{Icon|Unstoppable}} Unstoppable [[Champion]]s. Unmaker's Bound creates larger poison explosions and longer lasting clouds

==Lore==

'''"LONG, SHORT, THEY ALL END THE SAME WAY."—KATABASIS'''

[[Gaelin-4]]'s [[War Beast|war beast]] leads us through balmy [[Venus]]ian jungle. Our rifles low, our [[Ghost]]s high in the canopy like sentry drones.

"My vehicle is old. Needs maintenance. Been running too long without cutting the engine," I say.

Gaelin sends me a sideways look. "That [[Amanda Holliday|shipwright]] still around? She used to make cider in the autumn. I swear, she kept us like a pack of strays."

I sigh. "No, I mean this thing." I run my hand over my body. "Besides, you know I can't go back there." I straighten the leather wrap around my Tex-foundry rifle.

"You know I literally tune myself, right?" asks the [[Exo]] [[Hunter]].

"Why? You're immortal."

"And you're not?"

"I know, but I'm… slower. I feel slower."

"Uh huh."

"Just not like what I used to feel like. Not… spry. Not up here either." I tap my helmet.

"Tragedy. I feel for you. Have [[Gilgamesh]] tune you then."

I chuckle. "Yeah… he'd love that."

"You two having issues again?"

I shake my head in a stiff, narrow lie. "You think we come back the same every time?"

"I do. Straight from the manufacturer ," Gaelin-4 says.

"Sometimes I get the feeling… something's different."

Gaelin stops and squints at me.

I dip my head and let my hood fall forward. "Nothing I can put my finger on, just little things. Adjustments."

"You think he's changing you?" Gaelin's voice sounds more serious than surprised.

I wait too long to answer. It's not because I don't know my answer, but because I want to feel like I still doubt it. I raise my head. Gaelin meets my eyes and looks up to the canopy.

He leans his shoulder into me and drops his voice to a whisper. "My [[Clip]]'s a good one, but you need to realize Ghosts don't know anything. Nobody does. They're just like us. They get curious. They question. If you think something's coming unwound, you need to sit down and talk it out."

"Wait… did Clip change yo—"

"Please," Gaelin scoffs. "You're paranoid." He turns to keep walking and calls back, "Life changes you. Same with them. I'm the only one that stays the same."

Gaelin raises a fist and we stop. His war beast sniffs the air and turns us east. We continue walking.

"What'd you name the beast?"

"[[Castus]]."

"You've been reading too many of the [[The Spider|Spider]]'s books ."

"Some of 'em are good."

I laugh. "Aren't you the man that said anything you got tying you down can be made into a noose?"

"Yeah, some time ago."

"You've been taking a lot of jobs with him ? Those [[Fallen]]?"

"You're one to talk, [[Emperor Calus|Emperor]]'s lackey . Some of those Eliksni aren't so bad."
