===Year One=== | |||
Thunderlord's signature upgrade is "Lightning Rounds", which increases the weapon's rate of fire and accuracy the longer the trigger is held. Combined with the Feeding Frenzy upgrade, kills make the weapon reload faster.

=== | ===Year Two=== | ||
The exotic perk remains the same. However, the base magazine is now 49 and Field Scout no longer grants a magazine boost. | |||
===''Destiny 2''=== | |||
Thunderlord is obtained following a three-week questline beginning with the final week of 2018's [[Festival of the Lost]]. It is currently the only machine gun available in ''Destiny 2''. This incarnation of Thunderlord is stronger than its ''Destiny 1'' incarnation, being able to clear mobs of enemies with its Reign Havoc perk. On stronger enemies such as bosses, lightning strikes will generate the longer the gun is fired, causing additional damage. | |||

*[[:file: | *[[:file:TLUPTREE.jpg|This pre-alpha image]] of the Thunderlord's upgrade screen shows 2 additional icons. These icons are not connected to the Thunderlord's main skill tree, and their functions (and purpose) are currently unknown. Note the upper icon, which is the Titan symbol; signifying an, as yet, unknown link to that class. | ||
*The weapon's description has since been changed to "''They rest quiet on the fields afar, for this is no ending, but the eye.''" | *The weapon's description has since been changed to "''They rest quiet on the fields afar, for this is no ending, but the eye.''" | ||
*Update 2.0 upgraded the Thunderlord's magazine to 49 from 38. Field Scout no longer allows 60 rounds in the magazine, but allows for additional reserve ammunition. | |||
*Thunderlord was created by an unknown [[Titan]] during the [[Great Disaster]]. Also, [[Nova Mortis|two]] [[Abbadon|other]] machine guns just like it were forged, but they were lost after the battle.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy_Weapons#Nova_Mortis|Nova Mortis]]''</ref> | |||
*In Destiny's Alpha stages, when Thunderlord was still dropped by [[Riksis, Devil Archon]], it was a [[Engram|Common]] rank. Upon the Beta's public release, it was changed to be an Exotic and it stayed this way for the rest of [[Destiny]]'s run. | *In Destiny's Alpha stages, when Thunderlord was still dropped by [[Riksis, Devil Archon]], it was a [[Engram|Common]] rank.
