'''Whisper of the Worm''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Sniper Rifle]] introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' with a recent update on July 17th, 2018. It is the successor to the [[Black Spindle]], and by extension, the [[Black Hammer]]. It is the form that [[Xol]] took to feed upon [[The Guardian|the Guardian]].

''[[Xol]], the Will of Thousands, perished but was not destroyed. Death is a road, death is metamorphosis, the unsacred road between destroyer and destroyed. The might which defeats a god is also the ambrosia that god craves, the meat-sweet logic of [[Sword Logic|Existence-Asserted-By-Violence]], the binomial decision between two ways of being which deny each other. In dying, Xol fed richly.''

''Now came Xol unto the [[Taken]] upon [[Io]], who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will. Yet Xol was bound joyously to the very logic that sustained it in its death. It wanted the sword proof, the single proof. It wanted to become a rule which divided the mighty living from the mighty dead. So it whispered the Anthem Anathema, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, WIELD ME, AND USE ME TO TEST YOUR FOE. This was its worship, Aiat.  

To obtain the Whisper of the Worm, one must complete a secret mission called [[The Whisper]]. This mission can only be accessed by entering an anomaly that appears in certain patrol areas on Io by killing specific Taken lieutenants that appear during the [[Taken Blight]] [[Public Event]]. These lieutenants are called [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness]], [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate]], and [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War]]. Upon entering the anomaly, the player is taken to the [[Grove of Ulan-Tan]] [[Lost Sector]] location and will have to navigate through mazes and dark caverns as well as fight through hordes of Taken that spawn through numerous blights, which will wind up in a large boss encounter featuring the lieutenants from before. This mission runs on a timer that is set to approximately twenty minutes, and given the sheer amount of enemies as well as the toughness of the bosses, it is highly recommended to be at an incredibly high Power level and bring a full [[Fireteam]] that matches or surpasses the activity's level. If the mission is completed before the timer runs out, the player is finally awarded with the Whisper of the Worm.

*'''White Nail''': Higher base precision damage. Rapidly landing three precision shots will refill the magazine.

*'''Armor-Piercing Rounds''': Rounds cause extra damage to combatants' shields and overpenetrates targets. Slightly increases range.

*'''Mulligan''': Missing a shot has a chance to return ammo directly to the magazine.

*'''Whisper Catalyst''': Grants '''Box Breathing''', which increases range and precision damage after a brief moment of aiming down sights.

Whisper of the Worm is the third gun to naturally have a [[Taken]] appearance and the fourth weapon overall to appear as a Taken beside [[Stolen Will]], the Cold Between Stars ornament for [[Black Spindle]], and [[Dreadfang]].
