'''Perfect Paradox''' is a [[Legendary]] [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' as part of the [[Curse of Osiris]] expansion. It is obtained after completing the [[Legends Lost]] world quest on [[Mercury]], and is a part of a series of weapons created using the [[Infinite Forge]]<ref>https://db.destinytracker.com/d2/en/items/2248667690-perfect-paradox</ref>. | |||
The Perfect Paradox was the signature weapon of the legendary [[Saint-14]], a [[Titan]] thought long lost after venturing to Mercury in search of the notorious [[Warlock]], [[Osiris]]. True to the weapon's name, the Perfect Paradox is subject to myth in its own right; The weapon was supposedly in the possession of [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] before being given to Saint-14 at an unspecified point in the past, having been forged by the player character in the present day<ref>http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/perfect-paradox?highlight=Perfect+Paradox</ref>. | |||

*Interestingly, when aiming down sights with Perfect Paradox, the weapon lacks a holographic reticule. Instead, the player needs to rely on the weapon's physical iron sight, a feature not dissimilar to weapons such as the [[No Land Beyond]] exotic sniper rifle. | *Interestingly, when aiming down sights with Perfect Paradox, the weapon lacks a holographic reticule.
