'''The Last Word''' is an Exotic [[Hand Cannon]] first introduced in ''[[Destiny]]'' during Year One. It was reprised in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during ''[[Season of the Forge]]'', when it was the final reward of a hidden [[Quest]], "[[The Draw]]", to claim the exotic. After ''[[Beyond Light]]'', it could only be acquired from the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].

==Destiny 1==
==Destiny 1==
===Acquisition and Gameplay===
The Last word excels in [[Crucible]] because of its fast rate of fire and high impact. This [[hand cannon]] has been nerfed from its [[Year 1]] iteration, with changes made to a bug that made it deal over 100 damage per headshot and would kill an enemy [[Guardian]] with only two shots. The current Destiny [[Year 3]] version still retains the signature firing but now takes between 3 to 5 shots to kill an enemy [[Guardian]].


====Year One====
===Year One===
Unlike most hand cannons, the Last Word can be fired rapidly without taking your finger off the trigger at the cost of significant recoil. One of its special upgrades, The Last Word, increases accuracy and damage from hip-fire shots.

====Year Two====
===Year Two===
In Year 2, the Last Word's signature ability returns, lacking the previously given damage boost for hip fire, the rest of the weapon remains unchanged (Excluding its inclusion in Year 2's Infusion system).

===Perks===
===Gameplay===
*Intrinsic Perk: '''Fan Fire''' – The weapon can be fired quickly and continuously.
*'''Barrel'''
**'''Soft Ballistics''' – Less recoil. Penalty to impact.
**'''Smart Coil Drift''' – Predictable and controllable recoil. Penalty to range.
**'''Aggressive Ballistics''' – More predictable recoil. Enhanced impact. Shorter range and more recoil.
*'''Primary perks:'''
**'''Hip Fire''' – This weapon has bonus accuracy while firing from the hip.
*'''Stat modifiers'''
**'''Single Point Sling''' – Switch weapons faster. Move quicker while aiming.
**'''High Caliber Rounds''' – Oversize rounds built to stagger targets and leave them reeling. Their mass makes a weapon harder to handle.
**'''Perfect Balance''' – This weapon has extremely low recoil.
*'''Special perks:'''
**'''Last Word''' – Improved stability and target acquisition when firing from the hip.

The Last Word is a romantic weapon, a throwback to simpler times when steady aim and large rounds were enough to dispense justice in the wilds of a lawless frontier. Of course, some might say that time has come again.<ref name="grimoire"/>

==Destiny 2==
==Destiny 2==
===Acquisition and Gameplay===
{{Quote|Yours, until the last flame dies and all words have been spoken. |Shin Malphur to you, as you journey forth into the unknown. (Destiny 2)}}
The Last Word returned with ''Season of the Forge'' and was unlocked for all players on January 29, 2019. Unlike [[Thunderlord]]'s quest after Festival of the Lost, it is not time-gated and can be obtained at any time. Like its ''Destiny'' incarnation, The Last Word is a short-range, full-auto hand cannon that is meant to be hip-fired. Its Fan Fire exotic perk increases reload speed and stability with each successive hit as long as it is hip-fired, and its low time-to-kill at close to mid range makes it the perfect answer to shotguns. The Fan Fire buff wears off if the gun is ADSed. Unfortunately, The Last Word comes with a magazine size of eight bullets, so, unlike hand cannons such as [[Ace of Spades]], [[Luna's Howl]], or [[Not Forgotten]], it will run out of ammo very quickly. On console or controller, the gun has a lot of recoil, so it is recommended to compensate for it unless playing with a mouse and keyboard on PC. It is also highly recommended to pair this weapon with a long-range weapon such as a sniper rifle or a combat bow.
 
===Perks===
*Intrinsic Perk: '''Fan Fare'''
**This weapon fires full auto. Hip-fire shots deal bonus precision damage while increasing reload speed and accuracy.
 
*'''Corkscrew Rifling:''' Balanced barrel. Slightly increases range and stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
*'''Accurized Rounds:''' This weapon can fire longer distances. Increases range.
*'''Hip-Fire Grip:''' Increases accuracy, stability, and precision hit targeting when firing from the hip.
*'''Textured Grip:''' The friction on this weapon's grip is particularly strong. Greatly increases handling speed. Slightly decreases stability.
