We’re taking a look at the Python Energy Shotgun, which is one of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep’s new Ritual Weapons that can be obtained in the Season of the Dawn! You’ll need to complete a small quest to obtain this brand new Shotgun.
Ritual Weapons have replaced the old Pinnacle Weapons that were popular among collectors. These new weapons will no longer have special perks and will instead feature curated rolls. This seems to be a way to keep things more fair across the board, and will make it easier to balance in the future.

“Trust is a hell of a thing. Some people think they can earn it. Others think they can buy it. But that’s the thing about trust: It’s not real. you’re able to’t hold it, squeeze it, or put it in your pocket. It’s intangible.
“You have to believe in it. I don’t know about you, but I don’t care much for fairy tales. I like real things that I can feel.
“This isn’t to say I haven’t used trust before. To get close. Close enough to use something real, that I can hold, squeeze, and tear ‘em down to pocket size with.
“Up to you what you do with trust. We all have choices to make.”
—The Drifter
