The Slammer is a new vortex stasis sword added to Destiny 2 in Season of the Wish. Similar to Falling Guillotine, however, this one is going to complement your stasis builds. Today I’m going to check out The Slammer, the stats, perks, god rolls plus how to get The Slammer in Destiny 2.
How to get The Slammer
To get this one you can find it as a random reward from the end of Nightfall Strikes. When you defeat the boss you’ll get a chance at the weapon dropping for you. The higher the difficulty, the more chance you’ll have of the weapon dropping. If you do a Grandmaster Nightfall, then you could get an Adept version.
Nightfalls have featured weapons, and at the time of published this guide, it’s available in game right now, otherwise you’ll have to wait for The Slammer to be a featured Nightfall weapon of the week. You can subscrib to EndgameXpress for weekly reset updates, so you always know what weapon is available.
