{{Quote|Vestiges of the Queen's Harbingers yet linger among Saturn's moons.|Weapon Description}}
'''Telesto''' is an exotic [[Fusion Rifle]] available in ''[[The Taken King]]''.<ref>[https://instagram.com/p/60af7HlXKg/ '''DestinyTheGame on Instagram''': ''Telesto'']</ref> Since the release of ''[[Rise of Iron]]''. Telesto has been given two exotic [[Ornaments]] (Lingering Vestige and Queen's Command) that have a chance of dropping from [[Radiant Treasure]]s and [[Treasures of The Dawning]]. It reappeared in ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' as a Heavy weapon, but was moved to the Energy slot with the introduction of ''[[Forsaken]]''.

''MESSAGE IS:''<br>
==Gameplay==
Telesto fires projectiles that adhere to foes and detonate with a delayed Void blast. Multikills with this weapon will drop Orbs for allies.


''1. Contingency reserves overdrawn. We underestimated nobility troth reparations. [[Uldren Sov|Uldren]] suggests that we open reintegration talks. Have you discussed endowment support?''<br>

''MESSAGE ENDS''<br>
==Gameplay==
Unlike other [[Fusion Rifle]]s, Telesto fires projectiles that adhere to foes and other surfaces and detonate with a slightly delayed Void blast. Multikills with this weapon will also drop Orbs for allies. Players can sometimes bait enemies into the projectiles prior to detonation if the enemy is not aware.

*[[wikipedia:Telesto (moon)|Telesto]] is a moon of [[Saturn]].
*[[wikipedia:Telesto (moon)|Telesto]] is a moon of [[Saturn]].
*The weapon's perk, Harbinger's Spark, bears the [[Cassoid]] insignia, possibly meaning that the weapon was manufactured by the foundry. The foundry currently does not make any more legendary or exotic weapons other than Telesto, [[Dead Messenger]], and [[Eriana's Vow]] in [[Destiny 2]].
*The weapon's perk, Harbinger's Spark, bears the [[Cassoid]] insignia.
*A secret message was discovered in Telesto's lore tab by associates of Reddit user u/dropslash. Found using a shorthand decoding technique, if one takes the first letter of every word in Paladin Rior's message, a secret message reads: ''"'''CROW UNTRUSTWORTHY DESIRES POWER'''"''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/8uvp26/secret_message_found_in_the_telesto_lore_tab/</ref>. Furthermore, at the time of Telesto's release into Destiny 2, it alluded to Uldren's affairs in the [[Forsaken]] add-on.
*Telesto is infamous in the community for often having some bug or glitch that causes it to either be overpowered, become unusable, or simply be removed from the game temporarily.
**This resulted in Bungie fooling around in Hotfix 6.2.5.3 of [[Season of Plunder]] when Telesto was secretly changed to fire excessively slow projectiles that tended to float, fixed by literally slapping the weapon by holding the reload button.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PaulTassi/status/1590062294905470981 '''@PaulTassi:''' ''"TELESTO is sparking, smoking and shooting out what I believe could be coded patterns into the sky"'']</ref> Later, the projectiles gained the ability to explode into smaller projectiles. The following day, Telesto "took over" the official Destiny 2 Twitter account,<ref>[https://twitter.com/DestinyTheGame/status/1590403906018115584 '''@Bungie:''' ''"ATTENTION Contacting Destiny 2 servers…"'']</ref> declaring itself mightier than the [[Vanguard]], [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], [[the Witness]], [[the Nine]], and Bungie CEO Pete Parsons.
**The special Schrödinger's Gun [[emblem]] commemorates this event and Telesto's legacy.
