History of Legend of Acrius

Overview

Legend of Acrius is an Exotic Arc heavy-slot Shotgun made by the Cabal. Its intrinsic is Shock Blast (high-damage Arc energy that overpenetrates targets) and its exotic trait is Long March (extends enemy radar range). Its lore, told by Tyra Karn, references the Cabal legend of Acrius, who captures the sun and becomes emperor.
