The Immortal SMG And Target Lock Perk Are Destiny 2's Hottest Combination Right Now
There's a good chance that a recent run in the Crucible or Trials of Osiris has resulted in your Guardian being eliminated by an opponent wielding The Immortal, a submachine gun that has been racking up impressive kill-counts in Destiny 2.

Throw in other perks such as Ricochet Rounds and Rangefinder to increase optimal range without worrying about damage fall-off, and this SMG becomes an absolute beast in PvP.

This effectively means that you'll be able to take out players regardless of their Resilience level using only 10 rounds, and if every bullet finds its mark, that'll take less than a second to achieve.
To get The Immortal, you'll need to earn through Trials of Osiris. Reaching three, five, or seven wins has a chance to reward you with the SMG, or you can grind through the event and hit Rank 10 with Saint-14.
