In Destiny 2, you can secure one of the currently best hand cannons in the game – True Prophecy – in Season 13 with some luck and little effort. However, many are not even aware of this gun.
Are you into hand cannons? Hand cannons are currently trendy in Destiny 2 – especially in PvP, some models are a staple of the meta. But many guardians also rely on hand cannons in PvE. Particularly popular and effective are those from the archetype with Aggressive Frame and a 120 RPM.
They shoot a bit slower, but are very precise, have enormous range, and pack a serious punch. In short: If you like hand cannons, the 120 RPM models featuring weapons like the exotic Sturm (with Catalyst), Last Dollar, Quiet Hand, or Igneous Hammer are among the best options you can currently choose from.
However, there is another real gem in this archetype, which experts and players also rave about, but which currently not everyone has on their radar. The well-known Destiny YouTuber Atzecross Gaming referred to this weapon shortly before Season 13 as “the best hand cannon that you can no longer obtain”.
Since Destiny 1, guardians have enjoyed playing with hand cannons as Space Cowboys, and revolvers have since become the favorite weapon type for many.
Hand Cannon Fan? Then definitely get True Prophecy
What this weapon is about: It concerns the hand cannon True Prophecy for the kinetic slot. This originally comes from the Future War Cult from the faction wars but has not been obtainable at current power levels recently. It has even completely vanished from the loot pool.
What not everyone knows: Recently, the availability has changed, and the weapon has been available again since Season 13 – at current power levels. In other words, it will remain current following the end of weapon sunsetting and can be used easily in the following seasons.
However, not everyone is even aware of the weapon or knows that this is currently available. Many of my guardian friends were surprised when I proudly presented my God Roll for this silent returnee, which I recently pulled.
This is how to get True Prophecy in Season 13
It is comparatively straightforward and only costs you weapon master materials. You can currently only obtain this weapon through engrams from weapon master Banshee-44 in the Tower – in exchange for the aforementioned resource. So, you don’t have to struggle in Gambit like you do for Last Dollar or sweat in the Trials like with Igneous Hammer, but simply hand over weapon parts.
However, luck plays a role with Banshee. So, plan on having several thousand weapon master materials available before you receive the weapon – for the desired roll, it can take even more. I had to let go of almost 6,000 weapon parts before I obtained a strong roll on the second specimen. But due to RNG, the experience can vary significantly here. One of my buddies received a total of 6 specimens after just about 4,000 weapon master materials. Another had not received a single one after about 5,000.

What makes the weapon so good? Aside from the currently powerful archetype and the relatively low effort involved with the weapon (provided you have enough weapon parts), True Prophecy offers strong base stats and a comparatively small perk pool.
However, it contains strong favorites like Improved Projectiles, Targeting Adjuster, Opening Shot, or Rampage. You then combine these with other strong perks like Charged to Perfection, Frenzy, or Elemental Capacitor. This makes it theoretically easier to obtain a strong roll – especially compared to, for example, the countless combination possibilities of a Bottom Dollar.
Did you have an eye on this weapon in Season 13, and if so – what are your experiences with it? Will you now try your luck with Banshee? Or do you think nothing of this gem? Let us and other readers at MeinMMO know in the comments.
