Destiny 2 Swordbreaker god rolls, drop locations, and more

Swordbreaker is one of the most powerful Shotguns to come out of the Destiny 2 Crota's End Raid. The Lightweight Framed Shotguns are usually a dream for PvP players to go up close against opposing Guardians, considering aggressive play to eventually one-shot them has been a traditional approach since the beginning. As mentioned, the Swordbreaker is a Lightweight Framed for the Kinetic slot, allowing players to equip a powerful Primary in the energy slot as well.

The following article will list all the best perks available on the Swordbreaker for every activity.

How to get the Swordbreaker Shotgun in Destiny 2

The Swordbreaker Shotgun can be farmed from a few specific encounters within the Destiny 2 Crota's End Raid. However, there are also options to get a guaranteed red border every week until players hit the five-deepsight mark to unlock the pattern. Meanwhile, the Swordbreaker Shotgun drops from the Bridge and Crota encounters.

There is always a chance for a different weapon to drop, so having it unlocked in collections and looting secret chests can help. This article should assist players in figuring out the loot table of the Raid.

Unlike many of the Crota's End weapons, the Swordbreaker is the only piece of gear tailor-made for PvP fights. The traditional Lightweight Framed Shotgun has perks such as the "Opening Shot and Slideshot" combo, allowing the wielder to play aggressively with increased mobility, Handling, and decent Range.
