{{Quote|According to official [[Vanguard]] policy, this weapon does not exist.|Weapon Description}}

'''Crimson''' is an [[Exotic]] {{icon|Kinetic}} [[Hand Cannon]] that appears in the  ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion of ''[[Destiny 2]]''. 

==Overview==
The Crimson was the creation of an unnamed [[Guardian]] sometime after the [[Red War]], drawing inspiration from its more infamous counterpart [[Red Death]]. Despite the [[Vanguard]] officially denying its existence, the hand cannon became one of several banned weaponry whose copies reached [[Last City|City]] arsenals despite the [[Praxic Order]]’s best efforts to prevent it.<ref> '''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Warlock Aunor|The Warlock Aunor]], [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#Message from Aunor II|Message from Aunor II]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Built in the same fashion as the notorious [[Red Death]] [[Pulse Rifle]], Crimson fires in three round bursts, and regenerates health for the user after a kill. Additionally, the main perk for Crimson reloads the weapon instantly after getting a precision kill.<ref>https://db.destinytracker.com/d2/en/items/3437746471-crimson</ref>.

==Perks==
*Intrinsic: '''Banned Weapon''' - Fires a 3-round burst.
*'''Smallbore''': Dual strength barrel. 
**Increases range
**Increases stability
*'''Accurized Rounds''': This weapon can fire longer distances.
**Increases range
*Exotic Trait: '''Cruel Remedy''' - Kills with this weapon heal the wielder. Precision kills also refill the magazine.
*'''Heavy Grip''': This grip is weighted for recoil control. 
**Increases stability
**Decreases handling speed

===Catalyst===
The Crimson [[Exotic Catalysts|catalyst]] can be randomly dropped from defeated enemies. To upgrade to the full Masterwork, the player must score 300 precision kills with the weapon. 
Once completed, the catalyst grants the weapon the following perks and traits:
*'''+20 range'''

{{Verbatim}}
'''"According to official Vanguard policy, this weapon does not exist."'''

''"This is crazy! You don't need this thing. [[Ghost|I can heal you]]; that's my whole job."''<br> 
''"I thought your job was to state the obvious."''<br>
''"What?"''<br>
''"Oh, come on. Ever since you found me, it's been, 'Watch out, [[Fallen]] ahead!' when they're right in front of me. Or, my favorite: 'Seems like the door's locked.' Is it? Really? I couldn't tell. And when it's not that, you say I need to be more self-sufficient in case we lose the [[Light]] again. So here's my answer. Here's the remedy."''<br>
''"I was just trying to help."''

==Trivia==
*Crimson is the first [[lightgg:3923638944|Heavy Burst]] frame Hand Cannon (with three-round burst instead of two) in the Destiny franchise, which is followed up by the reworked [[Warden's Law]] reprised in ''[[Season of the Witch]]''.
*Appearance-wise, Crimson bears a strong resemblance to the [[Red Death]] Pulse rifle.
