During the ''[[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]]'' update, a [[BRAVE Arsenal]] version of the weapon was introduced with a new appearance, different perks, and a new origin trait. It is available as loot from the [[Onslaught]] activity and can be attuned at the [[Hall of Champions]] to drastically increase its drop rate. A more unique version of this weapon is also available on rare drops with double perks and its own unique weapon ornament.<ref name="ItL">'''Bungie (2022/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light (update)]]''</ref>

The conspirators came late in the night, skulking into my court while we caroused. [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] himself led the coup, and it was by his own [[Red Legion]] that we were arrested.

Ghaul dared not look me in the eye. What was the emotion on his face? Was it shame? How could he bear such hate for one who had been as a father to him?

We were sealed inside the [[The Leviathan|Leviathan]] and ejected into the furthest reaches of space, left to the same fate I had determined for the Consul so long ago. We were left to die.

"That's awfully ruthless, no?" Lord [[Shaxx]] queried. "It's one thing to kill an enemy in combat. But executions… that's dirty business. I know from experience."
 
"Hmm," [[Saladin]] grumbled, turning the elaborate hand cannon over in his hands. "I felt the same way, at the time. I was content to let [[Calus]] rot away in deep space, drinking himself into oblivion."
 
Saladin furrowed his brow. "But after [[Neomuna]]; after going tusk-to-tusk with the [[Shadow Legion]], I wonder if his exile was mercy… or weakness."
 
"Careful, Valus," Shaxx quipped, "your empress might not take kindly to that sort of talk."
 
Saladin passed the hand cannon back to Shaxx with an approving nod. "I doubt she feels differently. Seeing her father changed like that… had to be harder in the long run."
 
Shaxx holstered the cannon. "Maybe so, but that's what sets [[Caiatl]] apart. It's what set the [[Vanguard]] apart! Acting with honor, even at great cost to ourselves."


==Trivia==
"Sometimes our honor IS the cost," Saladin rebutted. "And we'd better remember that on the other side of the portal."<ref name="ItL"/>
*The Lore for the Midnight Coup describes how [[Dominus Ghaul]] arrested [[Emperor Calus]] and exiled him.
