Rasputin’s signature IKELOS weapons have returned in the Season of the Seraph in Destiny 2, which means the rather good shotgun, the IKELOS_SG is back. This shotgun is part of a series of revised IKELOS weapons brought back in Season of the Seraph with a new Origin Trait. Builders beware, as these refreshed weapons do not seem to interact with or generate Warmind Cells like their older iterations from previous seasons. Here are the best PvP and PvE rolls for the returning IKELOS shotgun.
How to get the IKELOS_SG_v1.0.3 in Destiny 2

The revised version of the IKELOS_SG is a Rapid-Fire Frame type, and it now shoots a predictable pattern within a square, represented by the new reticle on your HUD. This is an excellent shotgun for quick attacks as it also fires full-auto and has a fast reload when the magazine is empty.
While a lightweight frame shotgun may not be the prime choice in PvP, there are some good options to try if it fits your style. Vorpal Weapon helps against tougher Guardians and sneaking in an attack against an unware Guardian in their Super state. Swashbuckler pairs well with melee builds as you can get multikills easily by doing melee attacks against one player, then quickly reacting with the full five stacks of Swashbuckler’s damage boost for an easy follow-up.
You can find the IKELOS_SG_v1.0.3 by using your Resonance Amp to decode a hidden location across the system and opening the cache revealed by the Amp’s location hint. If you’re in the right area, you should start hearing distorted music playing and see a faint glow around the spinning diamond-shaped cache. Or, if you have Umbral Engrams to use, you can decode them at the Clovis Bray Exo in the H.E.L.M. once you have unlocked the ability to focus on these weapons.
