It is a Precision Framed weapon, similar to the Trials' Shayura's Wrath, providing a unique Range in gunfights.

As mentioned, the Unending Tempest is a ritual loot in Season of the Witch. Simply completing a PvP match is enough to get the weapon as a drop. Additionally, having enough Crucible Engram is recommended for decoding the gear piece within Shaxx's inventory. Everything required to decode one Unending Tempest includes 1 Crucible Engram, 25 Legendary Shard, and 5,000 Glimmer.

This Stasis elemental Precision Submachine Gun has a base Range of 53 and Damage of 25. Having perks such as Target Lock and Perpetual Motion can make the Unending Tempest a lethal powerhouse against players.

Landing all precision shots on a PvP target is the quickest way to melt them. However, the Origin Trait of Unending Tempest, Nadir's Focus, can grant Accuracy and Range with sustained fire.

Hence, players can easily look at all three stats simultaneously with sustained damage, including Damage, Accuracy, and Range, by pairing Target Lock with Nadir's Focus Origin Trait.
