Universal Remote

"To the untrained eye this beast is a junker. To the trained eye, however, this junker... is a beast."

- Weapon Description

Universal Remote is an exotic shotgun in Destiny. It can be obtained from Xûr, Agent of the Nine or as a random drop.

Gameplay
Unlike other shotguns, Universal Remote is equipped in the player's primary weapon slot. It features a significantly increased range over other shotguns, making it well-suited to mid-distance combat rather than close-quarters. Its special ability, "Universal Remote" offers greatly enhanced range and precision damage when aiming down the sights.
