'''The Mountaintop''' is a [[Legendary]] [[Grenade Launcher]] acquired from the [[Crucible]] pinnacle [[Quest]] of the same name given in Season 5 of ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It is the second Kinetic grenade launcher in the game after [[The Militia's Birthright]], and has effectively zero range drop-off with shells experiencing virtually entirely linear travel, technically making it the most accurate grenade launcher in the game. It was later re-issued in ''[[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]]''

==Lore==
[Fireteam leaders: Do not advance on the Wall. Fall back to the [[Ridgeback District]].]

[[Shaxx]] freezes with a [[Vandal]]'s windpipe in his fist. He waits for [[Saladin Forge|Saladin]] to justify the strategy.

[I repeat: All teams rally at the Ridgeback District. Do NOT advance. The City is lost.]

Shaxx drops the Vandal, then empties the rest of his clip into a [[Captain]]. He and his fireteam are running on fumes. The dead, [[Fallen]] and [[Guardian]] alike, litter the [[Twilight Gap]]. 

[Shaxx! Do you copy?]

He risks a look over his shoulder at their home, the place they call the Last Safe City. Not burning. Not yet. Gritting his teeth, he reloads.

[Shaxx, your orders are to retreat.]

He sees a gap in the onslaught of invaders and gestures to the others. "[[Nkechi-32|Nkechi]]! Take [[Abdi]] and [[Truce]]. [[Liu Feng]], with me! [[Anastasia Bray|Bray]]! Cover us!"

[This battlefield is not your stage, Shaxx! This is not about glory!]

His fireteam doesn't hesitate.

[Shaxx! For the final time: Fall! Back!]

As the six of them crest the Wall, [[Shaxx]] cuts the feed.

==Trivia==
*The Mountaintop saw extensive usage in PvE commonly coupled with The Recluse, the duo becoming one of the most popular combinations for endgame activities. Rather ironically, both weapons were originally only obtainable through the Crucible.
