Destiny 2 - Tractor Cannon Shotgun: Exotic Weapon

The Tractor Cannon contrary to the name is a an exotic type shotgun weapon that has multiple Weapon Perks that grant Stat boosts notably in the Stability and Handling departments. Its edge over other shotguns is its Repulsor Force Weapon Perk which allows the wielder to not only deal damage but also pushes back the enemy be it on PvE or PvP. This property comes in handy to effectively knock an enemy over ledges or repel them making it a suitable weapon when partaking of Raids.

Stats of the Tractor Cannon

The Tractor Cannon Shotgun strikes a balance of aesthetics without sacrificing performance. It sports a competitive Range which rivals most Shotguns in the game.

It comes equipped with the Repulsor Force Weapon Perk which deals push back to the target. This is effective to give some breathing room especially in PvE environments such as Strikes and Raids where enemies tend to cluster and surround the player team often. Stats-wise, its Range for a shotgun-type weapon is not to be overlooked. In conjunction with Extended Barrel Weapon Perk, it improves on this stat further. This perk also includes lowering the wielder’s Handling Speed.

With an already respectable Stability, having the Particle Repeater Weapon Perk augments this further. Moreover the Tractor Cannon comes with The Scientific Method Weapon Perk, which grants a temporary boost in the Guardian’s Handling and Speed upon firing well-placed shots to an enemy.

Unfortunately its downside is that the push back function makes it more of a novelty weapon than a main damage dealer. For instance, when dealing with area bosses, it is best to actually deal damage and close in rather than smiting them. It is also plagued by the difficulty of obtaining which requires a huge investment in grinding to get it to drop.

How to Obtain the Tractor Cannon

The Tractor Cannon suffers from having a low drop rate. As a result, it forces players to grind Public Events in hopes of receiving exotic engrams. Others may choose to do this while raising the level of vendors. This allows them to maximize their chances of obtaining the Tractor Cannon.
