'''Skyburner's Oath''' is an exotic energy [[Scout Rifle]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It is a wieldable version of the [[Cabal]] [[Slug Rifle]]. It is a slow-firing, but fully-automatic scout rifle with the capability to penetrate and break Cabal Phalanxes' deployable energy shields.

==Lore==
{{Verbatim}}
'''The inscription, written in a Cabal dialect, reads: "Victory or death!"'''

Some grunts are born to fight the war. Yes, they're loyal and true, and when the call comes "hot drop in five," well, they're always first in the queue. But I'm not one of them. I'm no hero, I'm in no hurry to die. I shot my own squad on [[Phobos]], when [[Taken|death]] came to wear us like armor. I rode [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx|the Primus's]] [[Dantalion Exodus VI|ship]] that rammed the [[Hive]] [[dreadnaught]]. Second wave out the hatch. We won that fight. Victory or death. We're not dead, so we won. Now this is the end, brothers, our final fight. [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul's]] here to finish it. [[Mars]] taught us how to fight [[Guardian]]s. The Hive taught us how to eat their [[Light]]. Remember that we made it possible. The [[Red Legion]] ends it. But we held the line and we didn't die. That's victory. It says so on the gun.

==Gameplay==
The Skyburner's Oath has an almost unparalleled flexibility due to its twin fire rates and high damage. It has an amazing amount of stopping power, not only in PvE, but also PvP. In PvE, not only does its perk "For the Empire" make it incredibly useful for negating Phalanx shields, its other perks (which you can see below) all mix to create a hard-hitting, fast-firing, darkness-slaying machine. In PvP, you can shoot down a target with amazing accuracy and damage or you can get up close and hip-fire with the weapon to spray down opponents with the tracking solar slugs. Essentially, whether it's PvE or PvP, the Skyburner's Oath allows you to play things your way no matter what. Its Catalyst also gives the weapon an amazing boost, if you're lucky enough to have it drop from any raid encounter. (Except the Castellum) Once you do obtain the catalyst, you need 1,000 Cabal kills then it will grant +30 range to the weapon.

===Weapon perks===
'''Column One'''
*'''Slug Rifle:''' This weapon lobs explosive slugs. When you're aiming down sights, the slugs travel fast and straight. When you're firing from the hip, the explosion is larger and applies Scorch to the target.

'''Column Two''' 
*'''Extended Barrel:''' Weighty barrel extension • Increases range • Decreases handling speed • Moderately controls recoil

'''Column Three''' 
*'''Extended Mag:''' This weapon has a greatly increased magazine size, but reloads much slower. • Greatly increases magazine size • Greatly decreases reload speed

'''Column Four''' 
*'''For the Empire:''' This weapon is Full Auto, does extra damage to Cabal, and penetrates Phalanx shields.

'''Column Five''' 
*'''Short-Action Stock:''' This weapon is especially easy to grip. • Greatly increases handling speed

==Catalyst==
The catalyst for Skyburner's Oath is found as a random drop from [[Strike|strikes]], [[Crucible]], and [[Gambit]] matches. It is unlocked by achieveing 1000 Cabal kills with this weapon. Once unlocked, it increases the gun's reload speed by 20.

==Trivia==
*The lore of the gun is a text from a soldier in the [[Skyburners]]. He considers their survival after the fight with the [[Guardian]]s as victory (as the gun says "victory or death", not dying must be a form of victory), as well as putting trust in [[Ghaul]] and is convinced that his [[Red Legion|legion]] will put an end to humanity.
*The lore itself [https://twitter.com/sethjdickinson/status/976895394071416834 references the lyrics] of "Fortunate Son", by the band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
*The Column One perk was changed in [[Season of the Haunted]] to coincide with the release of Solar 3.0. The old perk used to be: '''Slug Rifle:''' This weapon lobs large, explosive, seeking solar slugs when you're firing from the hip. When you're aiming down sights, the slugs travel fast and straight, with higher damage and a lower rate of fire.
