'''Perfect Paradox''' is a [[Legendary]] [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' as part of the [[Curse of Osiris]] expansion. It is obtained after completing the [[Legends Lost]] world quest on [[Mercury]], and is a part of a series of weapons created using the [[Infinite Forge]]<ref>https://db.destinytracker.com/d2/en/items/2248667690-perfect-paradox</ref>. 

The Perfect Paradox was the signature weapon of the legendary [[Saint-14]], a [[Titan]] thought long lost after venturing to Mercury in search of the notorious [[Warlock]], [[Osiris]]. True to the weapon's name, the Perfect Paradox is subject to myth in its own right; The weapon was supposedly in the possession of [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] before being given to Saint-14 at an unspecified point in the past, having been forged by the player character in the present day<ref>http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/perfect-paradox?highlight=Perfect+Paradox</ref>.

==Lore==
''I never found Osiris, but I've killed enough [[Vex]] to end a war. And they, in turn, struck a fatal blow: they completed a Mind with the sole function to drain the [[Light]] from me. It worked very well.''<br>
<br>
''Don't worry (not that you worry much). It took them centuries to build, keyed to the unique frequency of my Light. And I sit atop its shattered husk.''<br>
<br>
''I mourn that I will never reach the heights you have. To me, you reprisent everything a Guardian can become. Yours is a thriving [[City]]. So different from mine. My whole fourteenth life I fought to make my City yours. I never finsihed.''<br>
<br>
''All I have left is this weapon. The [[Cryptarch|Cryptarchs]] say you crafted it yourself, built it out of scraps and Light and sheer will, inside the Infinite Forge. I'll make sure it finds its way back to you. When you gave it to me, I swore I would make it my duty to follow your example.''<br>
<br>
''I'm still trying.''<br>

-The Perfect Paradox is the signature weapon of the legendary [[Saint-14]], a [[Titan (class)|Titan]] thought long lost after venturing through the [[Infinite Forest]] in search of the notorious [[Warlock]], [[Osiris]]. True to the weapon's name, the Perfect Paradox is subject to myth in its own right; The weapon was supposedly in the possession of [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] before being given to Saint-14 at an unspecified point in the past, having been forged in the present day<ref>http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/perfect-paradox?highlight=Perfect+Paradox</ref>. To forge the weapon, the Guardian traveled to the [[Simulant Future]] to visit the Titan's grave and recover his personal effects. After the weapon was reforged using the Infinite Forge, it was then bestowed back to him as it had originally. However, unable to navigate or escape the timelines of the Infinite Forest like Osiris could, Saint-14 remained stuck in his timeline and proceeds through the events leading to his death while holding the Perfect Paradox. The timeline eventually progresses to the Simulant Future where the weapon is recovered by the Guardian, thus repeating the cycle of its lifespan.

-This cycle was broken through the events of [[Season of Dawn]], where Osiris and the Guardian finally manage to free Saint-14 from the loop and allow him to exit the Infinite Forest.

-==Trivia==
+==Gameplay==
-*Interestingly, when aiming down sights with Perfect Paradox, the weapon lacks a holographic reticule. Instead, the player needs to rely on the weapon's physical iron sight, a feature not dissimilar to weapons such as the [[No Land Beyond]] exotic sniper rifle.
-*There is a golden ''fleur-de-lis'' symbol stamped onto the underside of the shotgun, located on the magazine loading port. Historically, the ''fleur-de-lis'' is often used to signify royalty or sainthood<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis#Earliest_usage</ref>.
-*The perfect paradox is also an example of a bootstrap paradox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_paradox.
