The Felwinter's Lie was infamous and well-known amongst many in the community for its particularly long effective range; this combined with a high impact stat and generally great utility traits to choose from had made it a menace in PVP performances.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/DestinyTheGame/photos/fight-through-the-ranks-of-the-iron-banner-to-claim-the-legendary-shotgun-felwin/765309090231064/]</ref> As it was around before [[The Chaperone]], there were some who believed this weapon to hold the record for farthest shotgun range before The Chaperone's addition. This range can be pushed even further if one worked to obtain certain traits; Field Choke, Hammer-Forged, Shot Package, and/or Rangefinder could've almost doubled the gun's effective range. This archetype would be followed a year later by another Legendary-tier shotgun, the [[Matador 64]].

Upon [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'s release, the traits "Feeding Frenzy", "Spray and Play", "Who's Next", and "Return to Sender" were removed from the weapon's list of possible abilities that can be acquired. Three of these features increased the gun's reload speed, while the last generated bonus ammunition upon killing an enemy.

The weapon returns in ''[[Season of the Worthy]]'' as the reward upon completing the quest [[The Lie]]<ref name="The Lie quest" />, alongside a weapon ornament that is obtained separately via [[Eververse Trading Company]]. It now has a fixed/preset roll of traits instead of randomized traits.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GinsorKR/status/1252656392131039235]</ref> The redux of this infamous [[Shotgun]] includes Shot Package as the intrinsic perk (as it is technically a ritual weapon), making the pellet spread of the gun very uniform compared to other [[Shotgun]]s of similar archetypes. This makes it a very consistent kill if the user is able to hit either very close to the enemy or if they're able to hit the chest from up to 9 meters away.

==Trivia==
==Appearances==
*One common joke among the early Destiny Community was that the "Lie" in the name was that the weapon was actually a sniper. This is due to infamous range coupled with its perks.
 
*The perk "shot package" was so overpowered coupled with Felwinter's Lie, that in Year 2 of Destiny 1 Bungie updated the weapon in every player's inventory to remove and replace the perk with a random one. Effectively completely erasing the perk from Destiny 1.
