History of Warden's Law (Adept)

Overview

Warden's Law (Adept) is the Adept variant of Warden's Law, a Legendary Kinetic Hand Cannon (Kinetic slot, Primary ammo). Its Heavy Burst intrinsic fires a hard-hitting two-round burst (16-round magazine, 257 RPM). It first appeared in Forsaken as a drop from the Warden of Nothing strike (Prison of Elders) and was reissued as a Nightfall weapon in Season 24, with newer perks like Perpetual Motion, Frenzy and Fourth Time's the Charm.

Curated-roll perks for the base weapon: Polygonal Rifling, Steady Rounds, Enlightened Action and Frenzy, plus the Stunning Recovery or Vanguard's Vindication origin traits.

Acquisition

The Adept version drops from Grandmaster Nightfall activities (a harder tier of the Nightfall), as opposed to the base weapon, which drops from regular Nightfall strikes. The original Forsaken version's pool included Kill Clip, Rampage and Outlaw. It supports Adept mods and gains extra masterwork stats.
