"Sing them a lullaby of death and nothing more."
— Weapon description

Deathbringer is an Exotic Rocket launcher acquired from the Faculties of the Skull Quest.

Gameplay

The best way to utilise this weapon is to treat it not as a rocket launcher, but rather a mortar launcher. The initial shot has a long arcing trajectory and both orb projectiles and initial shot travel extremely slowly, but each one that lands on nearby enemies will inflict massive splash damage. There are some who consider Deathbringer to be the spiritual successor of Dragon's Breath, in a sense.

The initial shot will fly for about 6.5 seconds before detonating on its own.

Lore

"Sing them a lullaby of death and nothing more."

"The Song is the antithesis. The Song is destruction. The failure to master the harmonies of life has birthed the anti-creation—the sullen frequencies of ruin. Those sweet melodies carry with them more than death—a rending of spirit and mind, a flaying of the physical self till nothing remains.

"The beauty of the cascading notes. The imperfect inflection of their tune… There has ever been, and will ever be, art in creation. So too in the act of annihilation—erasure and bittersweet finality. This is the Song's truest gift…

"In its wake, once the echoes have rung their last, there is only silence and the grand splendor of nothingness.

"Thus is the Song an end, and those who join its Choir are death, and nothing more."
