Destiny 2: The Best Exotic Weapons – 5 Exotics You Need (2017)

The Tractor Cannon – The Different Shotgun

Yes, the Tractor Cannon is an exotic shotgun, even though it doesn’t look like a shotgun at all. It rather resembles a misshapen piece of a spaceship that was left over after assembly.

The Tractor Cannon is carried in the power slot and deals void damage. The rate of fire is 84, and the magazine holds 4 shots.

The special perks:

• Repulsion Force: The weapon fires a strong impulse that repels enemies.
• The Scientific Method: Dealing damage to an enemy temporarily increases your speed and handling.

This weapon allows for a unique and fun playstyle that no other weapon provides. The Tractor Cannon does not shoot pellets like other shotguns but instead fires a blast that pushes enemies several meters away:

• In PvP, you can use this to blast opponents off the map. The downside, however, is that unlike other shotguns, it doesn’t guarantee one-hit kills. Only at very short distances are these possible. If you push enemies against a wall, you can also achieve direct kills. The biggest advantages in PvP likely lie in that it creates surprise moments, provides fun for the user, and can push enemies in their active super who are rushing at you.
• In PvE, the Tractor Cannon shines especially against groups of enemies, as it can push or instantly kill multiple foes at once. However, it doesn’t perform well against hefty bosses. These cannot be pushed back by the Tractor Cannon. Moreover, other power weapons deal more damage.

In short: A truly exotic weapon that enables a unique playstyle that everyone should try at least once.

You can obtain the Tractor Cannon randomly from all sources that can drop exotic engrams. Xur can also bring the weapon.
