After the Guardian Games wrapped up, Destiny 2 players got the exciting news that Fellwinter’s Lie, a fan-favorite shotgun from the original Destiny, has made a comeback. Now, you can earn this powerful weapon through the Lie questline. In this guide, we’ll take you step by step through the The Lie quest to help you claim this legendary shotgun.

How to Start the Fellwinter’s Lie Quest

To begin the quest, head to Mars and speak with Ana Bray at Braytech Futurescape in the Hellas Basin. This will trigger the Lie quest. Starting on May 12th, the quest will take you through several stages, including community-wide objectives and personal milestones.

Step 1: Warmind Evaluation

The first part of the quest is a community-wide objective called Warmind Evaluation. To complete this step, players must work together to complete Seraph Tower Public Events on three planets: EDZ, Moon, and IO. The community will need to collectively complete 3,000,000 events on each planet.

Objective: Complete Seraph Tower Public Events on the EDZ, Moon, and IO.
Community Goal: 3,000,000 events completed on each planet.

Once the community has reached the goal on all three planets, return to Ana Bray to continue the quest.

Step 2: One of Many

After completing the Warmind Evaluation step, return to Ana for an update. This is a simple debrief and will unlock the next stage in the quest, Vostok.

Objective: Speak with Ana Bray to continue the quest.

Step 3: Vostok

In the Vostok step, you’ll be tasked with investigating energy signatures on the EDZ. Head to the designated location on the map and scan the energy sources to continue.

Objective: Investigate energy signatures on the EDZ.
Details: Navigate to the area marked on the map and interact with the designated points.

After scanning all three energy signatures, you will unlock the next quest step, Shotgun Telemetry.

Step 4: Shotgun Telemetry

The next step is a grind to get 1,000 shotgun kills. These kills can be earned through various activities, including PvE and PvP. Whether you prefer farming enemies in strikes or battling it out in the Crucible, this step is all about racking up shotgun kills.

Objective: Get 1,000 shotgun kills.
Tip: Equip shotguns in both weapon slots and farm areas like the Leviathan’s Castellum to maximize your kill count.

Once you’ve achieved the required shotgun kills, the next quest step, Lunar Trip, will unlock.

Step 5: Lunar Trip

For this step, head to the Lunar Seraph Bunker on the Moon. Follow the quest marker to complete the objective. This stage will involve interacting with Rasputin’s quest marker, and once completed, you’ll move on to the final step: Warmind Heuristics.

Objective: Visit the Lunar Seraph Bunker on the Moon.
Details: Follow Rasputin’s quest marker to complete the objective.

Step 6: Warmind Heuristics

The final quest step, Warmind Heuristics, requires you to investigate one of Rasputin’s closely held secrets. However, the latest update has introduced a bug that causes players to spawn on a different map (Eris) when starting the mission. Bungie has confirmed they’re working on fixing this issue, and once resolved, you’ll be able to continue with the quest.

Objective: Investigate one of Rasputin’s closely held secrets.
Details: The step will become available once the bug is fixed, and players will need to complete a mission or interact with Rasputin’s secret.

Reward: Fellwinter’s Lie Shotgun

Once you’ve completed all the quest steps (and the bug with Warmind Heuristics is fixed), you’ll receive the Fellwinter’s Lie shotgun. This iconic weapon returns with fixed perks that include:

Full Choke (tightens spread)
Accurized Rounds (increases range)
Slideshot (allows you to slide to reload and gain bonuses)
Opening Shot (increases accuracy and range on the opening shot)
Range Masterwork (boosts range stat)
Shot Package (tightens the spread for shotgun shots)

With these perks, Fellwinter’s Lie becomes a formidable weapon in both PvE and PvP scenarios.

The Lie quest offers a fun and rewarding journey for Destiny 2 players, giving them the chance to earn the legendary Fellwinter’s Lie shotgun. The quest steps require you to complete community-wide objectives, kill enemies with shotguns, and explore key locations within the game.

Keep an eye out for updates from Bungie to resolve any issues with the final quest step, and get ready to wield one of the most powerful shotguns in the game once you complete the quest.
