Fatebringer is a Legendary Hand Cannon that drops from the Templar Boss in the Vault of Glass Raid on hard difficultly. It deals Arc damage

Destiny 2Edit

Fatebringer returned in Season of the Splicer with the return of the Vault of Glass, albeit with some adjustments, such as the addition of random perks and lack of the intrinsic perk "Oracle Disruptor" as well as one fewer perk slot. Both the lack of a 3rd perk slot and the removal of the Oracle Disruptor perk are in line with the rest of the weapons from Vault of Glass.

TriviaEdit

Players in Year 2 of Destiny can get a very similar weapon (if rolled correctly) known as the Imago Loop from The Undying Mind Strike.

In Destiny 2: Forsaken, a new Hand Cannon called Nation of Beasts was introduced as a reward from Morgeth, the Spirekeeper in the Last Wish Raid, with similar perks to the iconic weapon.
