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

It is also obtainable after completing [[Recovering the Past]] in [[Season of Dawn]].  


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.

*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>.
