The Mindbender's Ambition is a Legendary Solar Shotgun in Destiny 2. The weapon was introduced during the Forsaken expansion and was vaulted with the disappearance of the Tangled Shore. Fortunately for fans of the gun, the Shotgun has returned in Season of Plunder. While not as effective as previously in PvP, Mindbender's Ambition is excellent in PvE content.

Guardians can get the Mindbender's Ambition Shotgun from the Exodus Crash Nightfall in Destiny 2. Players can also complete Grand Master Exodus Crash for a chance at acquiring the Adept version of the gun. Both copies feature the same Perks and Intrinsic Traits. The main differences are the types of Mods that can be equipped and the weapon's appearance.

For PvP in Destiny 2, Guardians do not have access to much Special ammo. Auto-Loading Holster will ensure that the gun will always be reloaded whenever the Mindbender's Ambition is swapped to in a fight. Additionally, high stability and handling will ensure that Guardians can switch weapons more easily. Mindbender's Ambition used to be one of the best Shotguns for PvP in Forsaken. Now, there are much better options available to players. While not an optimal Shotgun, Mindbender's Ambition is a cool-looking weapon for Guardians to add to their collection in Destiny 2​​​​.
