Few weapons in Destiny 2 are as entertaining as Tractor Cannon, turning enemies into airborne projectiles while setting them up to take even more damage from follow-up attacks.
Instead of focusing on raw firepower alone, this Exotic Shotgun excels at disrupting enemies, creating openings, and making tougher targets significantly easier to bring down.
Whether you want to send enemies flying off the map or support your fireteam with one of the game’s strongest debuffs, Tractor Cannon remains a weapon worth keeping in your arsenal.
How To Get Tractor Cannon?
As of the Monument of Triumph update, one of the fastest ways to get your hands on the Tractor Cannon is to open Maeve’s Stash in the Cosmodrome.
This chest can be found in The Steppes within the building closest to Shaw Han, and you may also get the key to the chest by speaking to him and claiming it.

If you are looking for an Exotic that brings utility, team support, and a bit of chaos to the battlefield, Tractor Cannon is an excellent choice.
