{{Quote|A brute force weapon forged in fire by the [[Iron Lords|Lords]] of the Iron Banner.|In-game description}}

'''Felwinter's Lie''' is a [[Legendary]] [[Solar]] [[Shotgun]] introduced in ''[[Destiny]]'', as one of several possible awards in the game's second [[Iron Banner]] event.<ref>[https://planetdestiny.com/new-iron-banner-gear-bounties/ New Iron Banner Gear & Bounties]</ref> It returned in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during the ''[[Season of the Worthy]]'' as the reward upon completing the quest [[The Lie]].<ref name="The Lie quest">[https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1260258452913270784 @Bungie: ''To progress "The Lie" Quest as a community, follow Ana's instructions specifically and complete Seraph Tower public events across EDZ, Io, and the Moon.'']</ref>

As this content is no longer in the game, Felwinter's Lie can now be purchased from the [[Monument To Lost Lights]] in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]].

==Gameplay==
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.

==Destiny 2==
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.

===Weapon Perks===
*'''Shot Package''': Aggressive frame Shotgun modified to have more uniform pellet spread.
*'''Full Choke''': Tightened barrel. Reduces projectile spread when aiming down sights at the cost of precision damage.
*'''Accurized Rounds''': This weapon can fire longer distances. Increases range.

**'''Quickdraw''': This weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast.
*'''Column 4:''' choice of Opening Shot or Vorpal Weapon
**'''Opening Shot''': Improved accuracy and range on the opening shot of attack.
**'''Vorpal Weapon''': Increased damage against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their Super active.

===Weapon mods===
*'''Blissful Ignorance'''  - Equip this Weapon Ornament to change the appearance of Felwinter's Lie. (exclusive to [[Eververse Trading Company]])

==Lore==
{{Verbatim}}
'''"I just like the name. Doesn't mean anything." — [[Lord Felwinter]] to [[Lord Timur]]'''

"We can't tell anyone.

"Do you know how powerful a [[Warmind]] is? I know you do. We've been running from one for centuries.

"Not just powerful, either. Intelligent. Storing every secret of the [[Golden Age]], from the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] arrival right up until the [[Collapse]].

"Imagine if people realized you had all of that, buried somewhere in your head. Just imagine.

"So we can't. We can't tell anyone.

"You're something… totally new. Part [[Guardian]], part Warmind. There's no one else like you.

"… I think that's why the Traveler sent me to you.

"But other people won't understand it. And [[Rasputin]] will never, ever stop coming after you. After us.

"Ever.

"So it's just us, Felwinter. Just you and me.

"This is our lie, and ours alone."

==Trivia==
*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.
