Rat King

The Rat King Exotic weapon is a Sidearm that can be acquired through a quest chain on Titan.

How To Acquire
Note: All steps other than step one require a group of at least two Guardians who have either the Rat King, or some variation of the Rat King's Crew.

Step 1. Complete the quest "Enemy of My Enemy" on Titan and acquire the Rat King's Crew.

Step 2. Complete three patrol quests.

Step 3. Complete two Public Events.

Step 4. Complete two Crucible matches, win or lose, it doesn't matter.

Step 5. Complete a Nightfall Strike with 5 minutes left on the clock. After the Nightfall Strike is finished, you will receive the Rat King.

Item Lore
The stories are passed from child to child, whispered in the streets and on the playground like any good legend. "Don't ever venture beyond the wall and sight of the Tower," parents warn, citing these cautionary tales that speak of the boy's many deaths. Exposure. Hunger. Sickness. Cutthroats. Living nightmares. And on. And on. The children, however, have their own truths. To them, the boy never died. They call him the Rat King. The children believe he leads the forgotten among them out of the City on grand adventures. They say he and his misfit army saved the world. But children say man things, and the Vangaurd maintains their official stance: there is no Rat King and his army never existed. That's what the elders believe. I choose to believe otherwise.
