'''Legend of Acrius''' is an exotic [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. This weapon was earned by completing the "On the Comms" and "Destroyer of Worlds" quests until ''[[Beyond Light]]'', when it became available for purchase through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].
'''Legend of Acrius''' is an [[Exotic]] {{icon|Arc}} [[Shotgun]] released in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. This weapon was previously earned by completing the "[[Imperial Invitation]]" [[Quest (Destiny 2)|quest]] until ''[[Beyond Light]]'', when it became available for purchase through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].
 
==Perks==
*Intrinsic: '''Shock Blast''' - This weapon fires blasts of high-damage Arc energy that overpenetrates enemies.
*'''[[lightgg:202670084|Full Bore]]''' - Barrel optimized for distance.<br>
**Greatly increases range.
**Decreases stability.
**Slightly decreases handling speed.
*'''[[lightgg:3142289711|Accurized Rounds]]''' - This weapon can fire longer distances.<br/>
**Increases range.
*Exotic Trait: '''Long March''' - Detect enemies on your radar from farther away.
*'''[[lightgg:4259401308|Fitted Stock]]''' - This stock makes the weapon stable but heavy.<br/>
**Increases stability.
**Moderately controls recoil.
**Slightly decreases handling speed.
 
===Catalyst===
Previously, the [[Exotic Catalyst]] could be obtained as a random drop from completing encounters in the Prestige version of the ''[[Leviathan (raid)|Leviathan]]'' [[raid]]. Now it is acquired from [[Nightfall]] completions as a rare drop. After 500 kills with the weapon, the catalyst unlocks the following perks and traits:
*'''Deeper Pockets''': Increased ammo reserves.
**'''+10 Inventory Size'''
**'''+4 Magazine Size'''
**'''+40 Reload Speed'''
*'''[[lightgg:806159697|Trench Barrel]]''': After a successful melee hit, this weapon gains increased damage, handling, and reload speed for a short duration—or until three shots are fired.

That really is the entire myth. A Cabal named [[Acrius]] desires the sun, and he takes it and becomes the first [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor of the Cabal]]. Other scholars have already noted the parallels and differences with our own ancient Earth myth of Icarus, which famously has a far more humbling ending. I am more interested in how [[Cabal]] leaders throughout history have deployed this legend as a rhetorical and political justification for conquest. Among the most relevant such figures is [[Dominus Ghaul]] himself, who appears to have a personal affinity for the Acrius myth. I must also note here that, while linguistic analysis of the Cabal language and its many dialects is incomplete, they do not appear to have a word for the concept of "hubris." —Research notes of Tyra Karn

==Gameplay==
It is a wieldable version of the [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]], dealing an incredible amount of damage from longer ranges than normal at the expense of having a very limited magazine size. The Legend of Acrius was available after completing the [[Red War]] campaign and the Adventure [[Invitation from the Emperor]], after which an exotic quest began that required the player to kill Cabal on [[Nessus]], then complete the [[Leviathan]] raid. This weapon could be upgraded further to unlock more perks by completing more challenges.

*'''Warbeast Skin''' - Equip this [[Weapon Ornament]] to change the appearance of Legend of Acrius.
