After a few weeks of grinding comp (a lot of it solo) I managed to obtain the gun over the weekend and it was definitely worth the effort. The gun is amazing so far in pvp and although the journey to get it was at times frustrating and difficult it just shows you that if you set your mind to something even if you have average ability (like myself) you can get it. GG bungie on making the quest accessible to guardians like me. The feeling when I received the reward from shaxx was one of the best I've had in gaming for a long time.
