The First Curse

"...is when death becomes an afterthought."

- Weapon Description

The First Curse is an exotic Hand Cannon introduced in The Taken King. It is the older sister of The Last Word. The original was lost, but the weapon was rebuilt with the help of Banshee-44 and the player in the quest Imprecation.

Gameplay
The weapon uses Dead Eye to grant range, stability, and movement speed bonuses when aiming down sights. Triple Tap returns a round into the magazine for three rapid, precision hits. The First Curse refills the magazine with the first precision kill of a fresh magazine, as well as increasing range, stability and movement speed further until the next reload.
