This weapon's signature ability is "Thunderer", which grants full auto-fire right of the bat without needing to upgrade the weapon. It is the fastest firing shotgun in the game, outpacing even [[Invective]], which also is fully automatic. This blindingly fast fire rate allows the player to deal massive damage in a short period of time. However, its limited magazine of 5 rounds hinders its burst damage capabilities until it can later be upgraded with "Return to Sender", which allows kills to replenish ammo directly to its magazine.<ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/inventory/item/2344494718 '''DestinyTracker''' : ''The 4th Horseman'']</ref> Combined with the low range and slow reload speed, this shotgun takes work to master. But, if the wielder is fast enough to rush into close range and unleash all 5 shots in rapid succession, then this weapon will take down enemies very quickly. | This weapon's signature ability is "Thunderer", which grants full auto-fire right of the bat without needing to upgrade the weapon.

"There's a reason the Cabal want to take this weapon from us. | |||
"When you hold the Fourth Horseman in your hands, you bring the storm. You instill fear by commanding the thunder and firing off rounds with lightning speed. Tear through your enemies like light piercing through clouds after the rain subsides. | |||
"You are a force of nature. Unstoppable. Unpredictable. Undeniable. | |||
"Don't forget what the Fourth Horseman brings, after all." | |||

The Fourth Horseman was designed to quickly take down enemies at close range. If used correctly, it is capable of downing majors and more powerful enemies very fast. This weapon requires some skill to get used to the recoil pattern but once mastered, it can be used just about anywhere. | The Fourth Horseman was designed to quickly take down enemies at close range.

In PVE, the weapon is great for dealing large amounts of close range damage in a short time, a useful trait against Major enemies. However, if you're not careful, you may wind up firing more shots than intended, leading to wasted ammo. The low stability can also cause shots to miss or only graze enemies, if you aren't close enough. | In PVE, the weapon is great for dealing large amounts of close range damage in a short time, a useful trait against Major enemies.
