Salvation’s Grip

“I respect what I cannot steal from and you cannot take from the dark.” --Excerpt from an old eliksni salvage manifest

Type: Grenade Launcher

Slot: Kinetic | Energy | Heavy

Element: Kinetic | Stasis | Strand

Perk: Cryocannon - Hold to charge, release to fire. This weapon’s projectiles create Stasis crystals and freeze nearby targets.

Trait: Flash Freeze - Charging this weapon increases the freeze radius and amount of Stasis crystals created.

Ornaments: Unyielding Grasp

Origin & Description: You can only push someone so far before they snap. Guardians can only beat the shit out of the eliksni so much before they go fucking feral on us. And there's only so many invisible walls you can watch players circumvent because your community has "escape the level map" on their default to-do list before even Bungie has to throw up their hands and say, "fuck it, you're going to get out of bounds anyway. Make platforms wherever you want. We don't care. In fact we'll give you a gun that can shoot platforms. That's how much we don't care! Fine. Fine! Whatever!! Have fun, you fucking lunatics!!!" and run away to go live in the woods. Or on an ice moon, as it turns out.

Eramis the Shipstealer, newly-minted Kell of the eliksni House of Devils, has had it up to here. First she had to watch as the eliksni homeworld, Riis, was devastated by Darkness as the Traveler fled their skies. She stood against the Pyramid ships, losing two of her four eyes for her trouble, and barely escaped alongside her mate Athrys. Then the Devils took the heaviest losses in the Battle of Twilight Gap, serving as the front-line troops who assaulted the City walls, driven back despite Eramis herself mounting heroic charges that put many Guardians permanently in the ground. Then she got caught and imprisoned in the Awoken Prison of Elders, where she ruled the prison's combat arena* by day and brooded over the future by night. Between matches she bonded with cell neighbor Praksis, full of ideas for new technology to snare the Traveler and make it give them its Light. Eramis chided him for that. Reliance was a great weakness, she said. When the Great Machine departed the eliksni were weaker than when it had arrived.

* Why does an Awoken prison have a combat arena? The real reason is to justify the D1 PvE horde mode of the same name, but the game itself has yet to explain why the otherwise-enlightened Awoken have, y'know, organized prison fights.

Eramis and Praksis busted out in the prison break that also cost Cayde-6 his life, and she got to work right away. She rallied the Devils' remnants, proclaimed herself Kell, and led them in a daring daylight raid on the City itself to steal a sample of active SIVA. But the mission failed and her dreams of resurrecting the Devils seemed finished. Then she came to a decision: if the House of Devils was so weak, then it should die. Whatever the Houses were doing, it wasn't working. There had to be a new way - had to, or the eliksni would stagnate and die in this endless, useless crusade. She started to dream of the Hive beneath the festering moon of Earth and finally went there herself, hacking her way through Hive catacombs until she came to the secret they venerated: the Pyramid ship, the black knife-edge Eramis recognized from the day the Whirlwind had swept away Riis.

This time, the shape speaks to her. It says: the destruction of your world was a lesson in dependence. You depended on the Traveler and it made you weak. You followed it across the stars, asking it to make you whole again, and it left you ruined and abandoned. Stop waiting, it says. No one is coming for you. You must be your own salvation.

It gave her one last vision of wind-whipped snow. Eramis didn't need to be told twice. She followed that vision to Jupiter's frozen moon Europa, a place no one else bothered with. Eramis' forces dug into the ice and struck gold: an abandoned Golden Age human colony. It provided shelter, camouflage, and plenty of salvage to get the ball rolling. Underneath the ice the bulbous rounded shapes of the first true eliksni buildings in centuries took shape. Above the city Eramis raised the white-blue banner of House Salvation. Variks the Loyal followed her call for the scattered eliksni to come home to the city, now named Riis-Reborn. He was skeptical of Eramis' professed disdain for the old House of Devils, and her lieutenants were skeptical of the scribe they called traitor, but Eramis knew Variks had the ear of the Reef eliksni. Variks spread Eramis' call across the system: if you tire of war, of the Spider's yoke, of scrounging for your next meal, come to Europa. Start again.

But Eramis wanted more than a new home. The name of House Salvation was a promise, and she meant to fulfill it. When one ship of the Black Fleet appeared on Europa, Eramis was there to greet it. She boarded the ship, heard its whispers, and chose "strength" - to become the Kell of Darkness, gaining the paracausal abilities of Stasis. She emerged with an icy ruff of Stasis crystals framing her head and holding a Dark Splinter, a physical fragment that helps mediate a connection to Darkness. Praksis studied the Splinter while Eramis drew additional fragments from the Cruxes of Darkness that had begun to appear across Europa, granting them to her lieutenants.

Eramis reveled in her newfound powers, promising her people their revenge on the Great Machine and the Guardians who hunted them. Variks, on the other hand, was terrified. There was turning away from the Great Machine, and then there was embracing the very force that had destroyed their homeworld. He stole a handful of Splinters and fled Riis-Reborn for a comms station on the Europan surface, broadcasting a warning to anyone who would listen that Eramis had tapped into something very dangerous indeed. Thus begins Beyond Light, our acquisition of Stasis and takedown of House Salvation.

After the final battle with Eramis - during which the Kell of Darkness is finally consumed by her own power - we got to poke around House Salvation's inner works, including Praksis' experiments with the Splinters. One of those turned out to be a prototype grenade launcher (IDK what it is with eliksni and grenade launchers) built around Stasis energy, hence its name: the icy clasp of House Salvation stilling its enemies. You pick up Salvation's Grip right after the end of the story campaign in order to begin a second story quest with Elsie, using SG's Stasis-powered explosives to shatter the small black Entropic Shards scattered around Europan patrol zones.

Salvation's Grip is the pathfinder exotic for Stasis and basically works like that subclass' Glacier grenades: lob one one of its projectiles at an enemy or solid surface and it'll burst against it to flash-freeze into a thicket of tall Stasis crystals. Chuck it at the floor to put a wall between you and various unpleasantness, at an enemy to freeze them within a cluster of crystals, or against a vertical surface to create, you guessed it, a brand-new temporary platform of horizontal crystals. It also has a "hold to charge" option, increasing the freeze radius and number of crystals created. Introducing an exotic for a brand-new element and gameplay mechanic has to be a dicey proposition, and thus other than its elemental effects Salvation's Grip plays it safe with a simple perk and straightforward gameplay; it even projects a target to show where the fired grenade will land. It also sticks remarkably close to the actual Glacier grenade's behavior. Maybe to let players fool around with Stasis without equipping the subclass itself?

Despite being a prototype Salvation's Grip looks much more trim than other eliksni weapons we've picked up. Possibly because it was made using salvage from the Europan Braytech facilities, which look like a cross between a 50s pulp scifi cover and an issue of Architectural Digest. The Unyielding Grasp ornament further tidies it up with jade plating and red cord ornamentation, not unlike Malfeasance's Red String of Fate.
