A lone wolf who lives for the perfect shot.
― In-game description

Gunslinger is a Hunter subclass in Destiny.[1][2] Gunslinger's super ability is Golden Gun, a powerful illuminated hand cannon that only allows for three shots, but deals tremendous damage to enemies.[2] Gunslinger also contains some area-control passive abilities that allow players to force enemies to take certain paths or doors.[2] The Golden Gun does not critically hit. Gunslinger Hunters have a natural affinity to ranged combat, unlike a Bladedancer Hunter's close combat focus.
