"Can't outrun the sunrise."

— Liu Feng

Sunshot is an Exotic Hand Cannon in Destiny 2. It was originally available as a story mission reward after completing Sacrilege, with one choice between Graviton Lance, Sunshot, or Riskrunner.

Lore[edit]

"Can't outrun the sunrise." - Liu Feng

She bowed her head, heat shimmering from her fist. A silent salute to the Hive closing around her, their eyes forming a glowing jade ring.

She was a Sunbreaker. A mercenary from days before the City. Not like the new Lights from the Tower. She was weary. But there was no rest out here, where the City Lights didn't reach. She and her allies were committed to their arduous, solitary task. But they could always use more numbers.

Sometimes, they left trinkets for the City. Meant as challenge and bribe at once-- we offer you this. Come find us.

She had forged the Warlock gauntlets herself. Ouros laughed in her face when she told her their name. She wasn't very good at names.

A gun. She would forge a gun, next. It would speak like her Hammer. And burn like fire. The ring of jade eyes closed on her. Liu Feng laughed, her arms open for a fiery embrace.

Gameplay[edit]

The gun has two perks built into the weapon, one that makes the weapon deal explosive damage from the rounds, and one that causes targets to explode upon death, chaining damage to other targets. If used on large groups of low-level enemies, this gun can take out many, if not all of them, with one bullet. the weapon Masterwork for Sunshot greatly increases the range and stability, making it even deadlier with precision hits.

Catalyst[edit]

The catalyst for Sunshot can be obtained as a random drop in strikes or the Crucible. To complete it, the player must kill 500 enemies with the Sunshot itself and an additional 1000 with its Sun Blast explosions. When completed, the catalyst increases range by 27 and stability by 18.

Loose Change: Applying an elemental debuff to a target increases this weapon's reload speed, aim assist, and movement while aiming down sights for a short duration.
