Eriana-3: Let them come. I'll be the last [[Light]] they ever see.
 
==Gameplay==
*Eriana's Vow does not play much like the average hand cannon. Instead, it functions much like a handheld sniper. This is due to the small cylinder size, low ammo reserves, long reload time, high range, low fire rate, high impact, and perks that incentivize landing precision hits.
**It even has a proper scope, unlike most hand cannons.
*In order to maximize your damage while using this weapon, it is imperative that you land precision hits or hit enemies with elemental shields.
*While most other hand cannons are great for clearing weak enemies with a single precision hit, it is inadvisable to use Eriana's Vow like this. Instead, save your ammo for stronger enemies.
*Eriana's Vow has innate barrier-piercing rounds, making it useful in weeks of Nightfall: The Ordeal that have barrier champions. Notably, however, these barriers are not considered elemental shields for the purposes of the ''Death at First Glance'' perk, but the effect can be extended to the next shot by landing precision hits through the shield.
**You do not have to worry about landing precision hits on enemies with elemental shields since it is impossible to do so. However, pay attention to when the barrier is broken; carelessly firing away at enemies with elemental shields may cause players to lose the ''Death at First Glance'' buff by accidentally landing body shots after breaking the elemental shield.
*Players may unscope and preserve the ''Death at First Glance'' buff for future shots, then re-position and rescope later to still deal full damage.
*In the Crucible, players will spawn with 4 rounds instead of 2 as in other special ammo weapons. This is because the damage in PVP is low compared to other special ammo weapons, with two precision hits being required to kill an enemy player from full health and shields.
 
==Trivia==
*Eriana's Vow is the first [[Hand Cannon]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' that uses special ammo.
*It is named after the Exo Warlock [[Eriana-3]], and her vow of vengeance against Crota for The Battle of Mare Ibrium.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/erianas-vow</ref>
*Its ornament ''For Wei'' could be obtained at rank 100 of the premium track for the Season 8 Season Pass. It is likely named after Eriana's deceased lover, the Titan Wei Ning.
**Wei Ning was killed at the Battle of Mare Ibrium by [[Crota]]'s forces. Afterwards, Eriana dedicated herself to a quest of vengeance against Crota. Tragically, she died in the failed Raid on the Hellmouth as a member of [[Eris Morn]]'s fireteam.<ref>https://youtu.be/5FqCaA-v778</ref>
**The ornament modifies the appearance of the gun to a scorched black with a glowing hot muzzle that generates fire particle effects. This may be a reference to the common metaphorical phrases "burning hatred" and/or "burning passion," both of which apply to Eriana-3.
**Wei was also the one who gifted the hand cannon to Eriana.
