The Last Word is an exotic hand cannon. It is obtainable by completing a Raid or a Weekly Nightfall Strike, by random drops in the Crucible, and by purchasing it from Xûr, Agent of the Nine for 23 Strange Coins.
The Last Word belonged to the Hunter Jaren Ward. It takes its name from the exchange between himself and the petty tyrant Loken.[1] After Jaren's death, the gun passed to his adoptive son Shin Malphur[2], who used it in his legendary showdown with the fallen Guardian Dredgen Yor.[3]
Gameplay
Unlike most hand cannons, the Last Word can be fired rapidly without significant recoil or accuracy penalties, including hip-fire. In fact, it's special upgrade, Last Word, increases precision damage for hip-fire shots.
Trivia
- The Last Word has been labeled as the "yang" of the Destiny universe (as opposed to the Thorn, which is the "yin").[4]
- When firing, the player will "fan" the hammer with their left hand, a technique associated with old western single-action revolvers.
