— Weapon description.

Black Spindle is an exotic Year 2 version of the Black Hammer sniper rifle.

Acquisition

Unlike other exotic weapons, it cannot be obtained by random loot drop or quests. Instead, it is obtained by entering a secret area during the Lost to Light mission when it is available as the Daily Heroic Story Mission. After defeating Baxx, the Gravekeeper, the player has to escape the Hellmouth. However, instead of exiting through the Temple of Crota, if the player instead runs as quickly as they can to the Dusk Warren (the fire team must not wipe in order for the door to be open) before it is sealed off and enters the Traitor's Ketch, they'll be given a 10 minute challenge to eliminate all Taken, including a Taken boss in the final room where Taniks was fought. If the player is successful, they'll receive Black Spindle.

Gameplay

Like Black Hammer, Black Spindle's unique perk is White Nail; if all three shots are precision shots, then the magazine is automatically refilled from the weapon's reserves. This differs from perfectionist, which refunds shots but requires precision kills.
