History of Europa Shotgun

Overview

Europa Shotgun is a Beyond Light weapon quest from Variks the Loyal on Europa that rewards the Legendary Shotgun Bonechiller. The imported quest record lists Beyond Light, Europa and Variks as its requirements; it does not establish an additional weapon-quest prerequisite.

The quest was introduced during Beyond Light (Season 12). Its first objective has archived variants: Destiny Game Wiki records that it could ask for Eclipsed Zone activity and Shotgun defeats, an Adept-or-higher Empire Hunt boss plus defeats, or a Lost Sector chest plus defeats. The currently imported version specifies an Empire Hunt at Advanced difficulty or higher, its boss, and 30 Shotgun defeats. Ishtar Collective preserves earlier Adept wording and later Advanced wording, but does not date the change. Check the objective on your acquired quest; these archives do not establish current vendor availability.

Walkthrough

1. Follow the first objective shown on your quest. For the currently imported version, run an Empire Hunt on Advanced difficulty or higher, defeat the boss, and defeat 30 combatants with Shotguns.
