The '''Weapons of Sorrow''' are a collection of infamous weapons that have been modified by [[Hive]] arcana and magic. They are associated with tragedy and destruction, as they seem to inevitably corrupt those that wield them and drive them to commit heinous acts of violence and cruelty. Most of these weapons were believed to have been destroyed.
The '''Weapons of Sorrow''' are [[Guardian]] weapons that were augmented by the [[Hive]]. Most of these weapons were believed to have been destroyed. There are only three confirmed Weapons of Sorrow: the [[Hand Cannon]] known as [[Thorn]]<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Bounty]] description: [[A Light in the Dark]]</ref>, the [[Auto Rifle]] known as [[Necrochasm]]<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory#Necrochasm|Necrochasm]]</ref>, and the [[Submachine Gun]] known as [[Osteo Striga]]<ref>Bungie (2022-5-5), Destiny 2, TWAB: [[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51319]]</ref>. It is also possible that the [[Bad Juju]] [[Pulse Rifle]] and the [[Touch of Malice]] [[Scout Rifle]] are Weapons of Sorrow, along with the [[Whisper of the Worm]] and [[Malfeasance]].


There is also strong evidence that the gun wielded by the final boss of [[The Draw]] quest is a scout rifle Weapon of Sorrow named Proto-Thorn, as the gun's muzzle and overall aesthetic resemble Thorn, and the [[Enkaar, the Anointed|Acolyte]] himself is a known craftsman of the Weapons of Sorrow<ref>https://imgur.com/gallery/T80mhyy</ref>. However, it is not clear whether or not the Acolyte’s gun is an actual Weapon, or a normal scout rifle resembling the Weapons, but due to its name, it could be the very first Weapon of Sorrow ever built. The weapons obtained from the [[Crown of Sorrow (raid)|Crown of Sorrow]] may be Weapons of Sorrow due to the fact that they were former [[Reef]] weapons that were empowered by Hive runes. As for the [[Osteo Striga]], the origin of the original weapon is unknown. [[Jana-14]], a former Vanguard researcher that was corrupted by [[Thorn]], had stated that she found it by hearing it crying, “half a world away.” The lore of the weapon, as does the word “Osteo,” suggests that bone is required or be fed to it, which is different from other Weapons of Sorrow. Additionally, the projectiles appear more [[Taken]] in nature than Hive-like.
There are only four confirmed Weapons of Sorrow: the [[Hand Cannon]] known as [[Thorn]]<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, [[Bounty]] description: [[A Light in the Dark]]</ref>, the [[Auto Rifle]] known as [[Necrochasm]]<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory#Necrochasm|Necrochasm]]</ref>, the [[Scout Rifle]] known as [[Touch of Malice]]<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore]]: [[Shadow of Silence Suit#Shadows Vest|Shadow's Vest]]''</ref> and the [[Submachine Gun]] known as [[Osteo Striga]]<ref>Bungie (2022-5-5), Destiny 2, TWAB: [[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51319]]</ref>. Various other items bear some of the corrupted hallmarks of Weapons of Sorrow, but are not confirmed to be part of this class; these include the [[Warlock]] [[Gauntlets]] [[Necrotic Grip]] which were based from studies of the Thorn.
