"A brute force weapon forged in fire by the Lords of the Iron Banner."
— In-game description

Felwinter's Lie is a Legendary Shotgun introduced in Destiny, awarded in the game's second Iron Banner.[1] It returned in Destiny 2 during the Season of the Worthy as the reward upon completing the quest The Lie.[2]

Gameplay

The Felwinter's Lie was infamous and well-known amongst many in the community for its particularly long effective range, and generally great utility traits to choose from made it a menace in PVP performances.[3] As it was around before The Chaperone, there were some who believed this weapon to hold the record for farthest shotgun range before The Chaperone's addition. This range can be pushed even further if one worked to acquire certain traits; Field Choke, Hammer-Forged, Shot Package, and/or Rangefinder could've almost doubled the gun's effective range. This archetype would be followed a year later by another Legendary-tier shotgun, the Matador 64.

Upon House of Wolves's release, the traits "Feeding Frenzy", "Spray and Play", "Who's Next", and "Retur nto Sender" were removed from the weapon's list of possible abilities that can be acquired. Three of these traits increased the gun's reload speed, while the last generated bonus ammunition upon killing an enemy.

Lore

"I just like the name. Doesn't mean anything." — Lord Felwinter to Lord Timur

"We can't tell anyone.

"Do you know how powerful a Warmind is? I know you do. We've been running from one for centuries.

"Not just powerful, either. Intelligent. Storing every secret of the Golden Age, from the Traveler's arrival right up until the Collapse.

"Imagine if people realized you had all of that, buried somewhere in your head. Just imagine.

"So we can't. We can't tell anyone.

"You're something… totally new. Part Guardian, part Warmind. There's no one else like you.

"… I think that's why the Traveler sent me to you.

"But other people won't understand it. And Rasputin will never, ever stop coming after you. After us.

"Ever.

"So it's just us, Felwinter. Just you and me.

"This is our lie, and ours alone."
