Unlike the [[Vestian Dynasty]], the Dreg's Promise is a burst-fire pistol that fires three shots per trigger pull. Like the Dynasty, is always has reserve ammo upon spawning.
The Dreg's Promise is the second [[sidearm]] in [[Destiny]] and the only [[exotic]] [[sidearm]]. It fires three arc damage
shots upon pulling the trigger and has 18 rounds in its magazine, meaning 6 bursts. It is obtained from an [[Elder Cipher]], which is obtained rarely from the level 34 and 35 [[Prison Of Elders]] rounds. It is a fairly good weapon in [[PvE]], it shines against ''cannon fodder'' enemies, such as [[dregs]]. It isn't very good against [[captains]] or similar enemies. It isn't a great weapon in PvP, although that is to be expected, given the rapid fire nature of the weapon. It should only be used if your primary weapon's magazine is empty. It does not have good range and should not be used at range. Its perks include;
 
Reserve Ammo: When you spawn with this weapon, you will always have ammo.
 
Soft Ballistics: Less recoil. Less Impact.
 
CQB Ballistics: Much, much recoil. Significant penalty to range.
 
Aggressive Ballistics: Easier to control recoil, more recoil, less range, more impact.
 
Grave Robber: Killing enemies using melee with this weapon equipped has a chance to refill magazine.
 
Snapshot: You aim this weapon incredibly fast.
 
Field Scout: More ammo in the magazine. (18-21)
 
Perfect Balance: Much less recoil.

Dreg's Promise is an exotic Sidearm that can be acquired in House of Wolves. It is based on the Fallen Shock Pistol frequently used by Dregs.

Gameplay

The Dreg's Promise is the second sidearm in Destiny and the only exotic sidearm. It fires three arc damage shots upon pulling the trigger and has 18 rounds in its magazine, meaning 6 bursts. It is obtained from an Elder Cipher, which is obtained rarely from the level 34 and 35 Prison Of Elders rounds. It is a fairly good weapon in PvE, it shines against cannon fodder enemies, such as dregs. It isn't very good against captains or similar enemies. It isn't a great weapon in PvP, although that is to be expected, given the rapid fire nature of the weapon. It should only be used if your primary weapon's magazine is empty. It does not have good range and should not be used at range. Its perks include;

Reserve Ammo: When you spawn with this weapon, you will always have ammo.

Soft Ballistics: Less recoil. Less Impact.

CQB Ballistics: Much, much recoil. Significant penalty to range.
