The Last Word is an exotic hand cannon introduced in Destiny Year One. A Year Two version of The Last Word is available in The Taken King. The Last word excels in Crucible and other PVP game modes because of its' fast rate of fire and high impact.

The Last Word belonged to the Hunter Jaren Ward. It takes its name from the exchange between himself and the petty tyrant Loken.^[1] After Jaren's death, the gun passed to his adoptive son Shin Malphur^[2], who used it in his legendary showdown with the fallen Guardian Dredgen Yor.^[3]

Gameplay

Year One

Unlike most hand cannons, the Last Word can be fired rapidly without significant recoil or accuracy penalties, including hip-fire. In fact, it's special upgrade, Last Word, increases precision damage for hip-fire shots.

Year Two

In Year 2, the Last Word's signature ability returns, lacking the previously given damage boost for hip fire, the rest of the weapon remains unchained (Excluding its inclusion in Year 2's Infusion system)

Trivia

The Last Word has been labeled as the "yang" of the Destiny universe (as opposed to the Thorn, which is the "yin").^[4]
When firing, the player will "fan" the hammer with their left hand, a technique associated with old western single-action revolvers.
The Last word will potentially be given exotic Ornaments that may have a chance of dropping from Radiant Treasure. This may potentially occur when SRL releases. This statement is currently unconfirmed.
