Destiny 2 Revenant Act 2 Shotgun: Deadlock 2.0 Made Easier to Farm

Destiny 2’s Episode Revenant enters its second chapter with the latest weekly reset, introducing an exciting array of sandbox enhancements. Among these updates is a new Shotgun, Scavenger’s Fate, poised to influence the PvP landscape significantly.

Scavenger’s Fate proudly joins the lineup of elite Precision Frame Shotguns, standing alongside iconic weapons like Matador 64 and Deadlock. Notably, this Void-element shotgun is equipped with the fresh perks introduced in Revenant Act 2, featuring the highly sought-after combination of Lone Wolf and Closing Time.

One of the defining advantages of Scavenger’s Fate over Deadlock is its accessibility. While Deadlock is exclusively obtainable through Competitive Crucible play, Scavenger’s Fate can be farmed through the more approachable seasonal activities, such as Onslaught: Salvation and Tomb of Elders. However, it’s worth mentioning that Bungie has eliminated the option to craft seasonal weapons in this chapter, which means players will depend on luck to secure the coveted “god roll” configuration:

Barrel: Smoothbore
Magazine: Accurized Rounds
Perk 1: Lone Wolf
Perk 2: Closing Time
Masterwork: Range

Meta Insights

The combination of Lone Wolf and Closing Time has quickly established itself as a premier choice for Special weapons in PvP scenarios due to the extensive buffs they offer without the need for complex conditions or timing. Since Special weapons rarely start a match with a full magazine in Crucible, Closing Time’s substantial +20 Range bonus becomes nearly always active when the magazine is low.

When paired with Lone Wolf, which enhances aim assist, aiming down sights (ADS) speed, and airborne effectiveness in the absence of nearby allies, even average Shotguns can become significantly more effective. This synergy transforms Scavenger’s Fate into a formidable option, especially for those with already robust baseline stats.

In terms of raw statistics, Scavenger’s Fate and Deadlock are remarkably similar, with the primary distinction being a slight compromise in Range for enhanced aim assist in Scavenger’s Fate. Nevertheless, these differences are minor and generally only pertinent in specific circumstances.
