'''Legend of Acrius''' is an exotic [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. This weapon was earned by completing the "On the Comms" and "Destroyer of Worlds" quests until ''[[Beyond Light]]'', when it became available for purchase through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].

==Lore==
{{Verbatim}}
'''"In the Cabal legend, a hero seeks to possess the sun. He succeeds. Then, he becomes Emperor. The Cabal… are not a subtle people." —Tyra Karn'''

That really is the entire myth. A Cabal named [[Acrius]] desires the sun, and he takes it and becomes the first [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor of the Cabal]]. Other scholars have already noted the parallels and differences with our own ancient Earth myth of Icarus, which famously has a far more humbling ending. I am more interested in how [[Cabal]] leaders throughout history have deployed this legend as a rhetorical and political justification for conquest. Among the most relevant such figures is [[Dominus Ghaul]] himself, who appears to have a personal affinity for the Acrius myth. I must also note here that, while linguistic analysis of the Cabal language and its many dialects is incomplete, they do not appear to have a word for the concept of "hubris." —Research notes of Tyra Karn

==Gameplay==
It is a wieldable version of the [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]], dealing an incredible amount of damage from longer ranges than normal at the expense of having a very limited magazine size. The Legend of Acrius was available after completing the [[Red War]] campaign and the Adventure [[Invitation from the Emperor]], after which an exotic quest began that required the player to kill Cabal on [[Nessus]], then complete the [[Leviathan]] raid. This weapon could be upgraded further to unlock more perks by completing more challenges.
