Destiny 2 Last Man Standing Shotgun: The Ultimate Guide to Obtaining and Mastering

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Destiny 2’s Last Man Standing shotgun. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about obtaining this powerful weapon and how to optimize its performance. Whether you’re a seasoned Guardian or new to the game, this guide will provide you with the knowledge and strategies to dominate your enemies.

Why You Should Get the Last Man Standing Shotgun

Last Man Standing is a formidable Aggressive Frame shotgun that excels in close-quarter combat. Its intrinsic perk grants increased fire rate with every kill, making it a devastating weapon in both PvE and PvP encounters. Shotguns have always been a force to be reckoned with in Destiny 2, and this one is no exception.

Obtaining Last Man Standing in Destiny 2

To acquire Last Man Standing, you will need to own the Season of the Deep and complete the introductory mission. Once you’ve done that, progress through the first few steps of the “Into the Deep” Mission, which will unlock the Tackle Box and allow for fishing. By fishing and turning in the caught fish at the HELM, you can earn Reckoning Weapons, including Last Man Standing.

If you have the Deep Weapon Focusing Sonar Station Upgrade, you can also focus the Deep Engrams you earn at the Sonar Station in the HELM. To unlock the upgrades and learn more about them, check the Seasonal challenges menu. Once you have earned and unlocked the weapon in your collections, you can focus that specific weapon from the Deep Engram Decoding menu at the Sonar Station.

PvE Last Man Standing God Roll

For PvE activities, we recommend the following god roll for Last Man Standing:

• Barrel: Smoothbore (increases pellet spread but adds +15 range)
• Magazine: Assault Mag (increases rate of fire)
• Column 3 Trait: Subsistence (partially reloads the magazine from reserves upon defeating targets)
• Column 4 Trait: Rampage (temporarily grants increased damage with kills)
• Origin Trait: Picking up ammunition increases flinch resistance and range, lasting until fired again
• Masterwork: Range (increased damage at long ranges)
• Mods: Major Spec (boosts damage against orange health enemies and champions)

This god roll will allow you to maximize your damage output and sustain a high rate of fire. Combined with Rampage, each kill will further enhance your killing potential. However, keep in mind that this shotgun is most effective in close-range encounters, and some enemies may have knockback abilities. To mitigate this, make use of melee attacks to maintain your position.

PvP Last Man Standing God Roll

For PvP engagements, consider using the following god roll for Last Man Standing:

• Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling (increases range, stability, and handling)
• Magazine: Accurized Rounds (significantly boosts range)
• Column 3 Trait: Hip-Fire Grip (improves accuracy, stability, and precision hit targeting when firing from the hip)
• Column 4 Trait: Shot Swap (builds and stores charges upon final blows, allowing for faster weapon swap and stow)
• Origin Trait: Picking up ammunition increases flinch resistance and range, lasting until fired again
• Masterwork: Range (increased damage at long ranges)
• Mods: Freehand Grip (reduces hipfire accuracy cone size, complementing Hip-Fire Grip)

This god roll capitalizes on the Last Man Standing’s range and versatility. The increased range from Corkscrew Rifling and Accurized Rounds will help you engage enemies from a distance, while Hip-Fire Grip enhances your accuracy and stability when firing from the hip. Shot Swap further improves your playstyle, allowing for rapid weapon switching to capitalize on various combat scenarios.
