Bastion (weapon)

"The final stand is whenever I plant my feet. Not one step more."

- Saint-14

Bastion is a Exotic fusion rifle in the Kinetic slot. It was introduced in Season of Dawn and is available to all players. It originally belonged to Saint-14, but was stolen by Reysk after Saint's disappearance. It was eventually reclaimed by Young Wolf. Bastion's aesthetics are meant to match Saint-14's general look.

Lore
My son.

You are a bastion of hope for all who are lost in darkness.

Let this consecrated armament offer protection in times of trial,

strength when you feel most alone,

Your Light will shine on to lead our people into peace.

Let this be a symbol of our dedication to their future.

Know that I am proud. —Father

The epitaph is barely readable, appearing to have been scraped almost clean from the frame. Below the stricken words, five hash-marks are engraved into the weapon. A small etching in Eliksni reads:

"dead… little… thieves…"
