Skyburner's Oath is an exotic energy Scout Rifle in Destiny 2. It is a wieldable version of the Cabal Slug Rifle. It is a slow-firing, but fully-automatic scout rifle with the capability to penetrate and break Cabal Phalanxes' deployable energy shields.
Lore
The inscription, written in a Cabal dialect, reads: "Victory or death!"
Some grunts are born to fight the war. Yes, they're loyal and true, and when the call comes "hot drop in five," well, they're always first in the queue. But I'm not one of them. I'm no hero, I'm in no hurry to die. I shot my own squad on Phobos, when death came to wear us like armor. I rode the Primus's ship that rammed the Hive dreadnaught. Second wave out the hatch. We won that fight. Victory or death. We're not dead, so we won. Now this is the end, brothers, our final fight. Ghaul's here to finish it. Mars taught us how to fight Guardians. The Hive taught us how to eat their Light. Remember that we made it possible. The Red Legion ends it. But we held the line and we didn't die. That's victory. It says so on the gun.

Trivia
- The lore of the gun is a text from a soldier in the Skyburners. He considers their survival after the fight with the Guardians as victory (as the gun says "victory or death", not dying is a form of victory), as well as putting trust in Ghaul and is convinced that his legion will put an end to humanity.
- The lore itself references the lyrics of "Fortunate Son", by the band Crredence Clearwater Revival.
