There are some guns within the Destiny 2 sandbox that have a cult following of people who swear by their abilities. One such weapon is Horror Story, and it's again available for you to get your hands on with the return of the Festival of the Lost event. Horror Story is one of the few weapons left that retains Destiny 2's redesign attempt, so if you're a fan of military-minded futuristic weapons, look for this one.
Horror Story was a little struggling within the PvP sandbox, but recently got some new perks to choose from that you might want to try using. If you are a fan of running around and using as many grenades as possible, the Horror Story might come as a surprise to you. That said, its low-fire rate archetype still struggles a bit in PvP, so you might miss out on some close-range firefights.
How to get Horror Story
Horror Story is another limited-time Festival of the Lost weapon that's back in stock. While you can find yourself receiving drops of Horror Story in a number of ways within the event, the best way to go to Horror Story is to do the new Haunted Sectors activity that came with this year's Festival of the Lost event.
