Horror Story is a Legendary Auto Rifle in Destiny 2 imbued with the Intrinsic Trait: Precision, which enables the weapon's recoil pattern to be more predictably vertical. This trait allows players to fire more precise shots when battling in both PvE and PvP. Unfortunately, its Impact is lacking, meaning that even though Horror Story users accurately land their shots in Destiny 2, they will need to ensure they have sufficient means of sustainment or healing to withstand trades in damage.
On the other hand, Horror Story has a superior Range as an Auto Rifle in Destiny 2. While it is not cut out to be a sniper equivalent due to its inferior Impact, players can take advantage of its solid Range to poke enemy targets from a safe distance. Additionally, its Stability and Reload Speed are also decent, making it a choice weapon for light firefights. As its name implies, this weapon can only be obtained during the limited-time Halloween event, Festival of the Lost. As of October 22, 2022, this event is currently live but will conclude on November 8, 2022. Therefore, players must make sure they attempt to acquire the Horror Story before this date.
According to YouTube content creator This Week In Video Games, fans can unlock the Horror Story Legendary Auto Rifle in Destiny 2 by clearing the Haunted Sector Playlist and receiving the weapon as a random drop. To gain access to the Haunted Sector, Guardians can complete a quest from Eva Levante called "Gone But Not Forgotten."
Unlocking the Horror Story AR in Destiny 2
"Gone But Not Forgotten" involves players speaking with Eva to receive a free Masquerader's Helm and Spectral Page. Next, Guardians must wear this Festival Mask and enter the Haunted Sector Playlist via the Tower. After defeating several waves of Headless Ones and a final boss, players will receive a Manifested Page that they can use to unlock Lore in the Book of the Forgotten. After speaking with Eva several more times, players will receive the Mechabre Sniper Rifle and gain access to the Event Challenges for Festival of the Lost.
Now that "Gone But Not Forgotten" has been completed, players can enter the Haunted Sector Playlist and farm the instance for the rare Horror Story Legendary Auto Rifle drop in Destiny 2. During this time, players will also receive a great deal of Candy currency, which they can use to purchase other Halloween festive items in the event shop.
