Lord of Wolves (Year 1)

Lord of Wolves  is an Exotic Shotgun which gives a 30-second, +3 boost to Recovery for nearby allies on a kill. Lord of Wolves  has an exceptional magazine at  30. Linear Compensator  and  Perfect Balance  are the recommended perks.

Statwise,  Lord of Wolves  is known for very high Impact (64) only outclassed by Felwinter's Lie (Iron Banner) and Astral Horizon(Trials of Osiris) (both 67). Unfortunately,  Lord of Wolves  has  dreadful  Range (2) compared to its high-Impact peers (20, 25).

Aesthetically,  Lord of Wolves  looks much like a Shrapnel Cannon, often used by Fallen Captains.

Grimoire
Jolyon was a Crow. He’d seen much. More than most. He held the enemy’s greatest weapon. Remembered its burn. Then began tinkering. He liked things. Liked how they worked. Found happiness in finding new avenues through which a thing could function. Not to alter the purpose, but simply to refine it.

The weapon delivered impact with incredible force spread over a range to increase its area of influence. But what if that force was brought to focus in a directed burst. A seasoned marksman with a steady, strong hand could deliver a burn that served less to herd, more to punish.

The feral ones deserved nothing less. The Wolves would have a new master. And that master was fire.
