| Description | The story of Tex Mechanica's contest for a shotgun with a long history. |
Step 1: Shindig in the Crucible
Task: Defeat Guardians in the Crucible with The Last Word equipped to boost your favor with Tex Mechanica.
Quote: "Come one, come all, to Tex Mechanica's first Shotgun Extravaganza! The prize is the finest shotgun in all the system—based on a design by the Tower's own Amanda Holliday!" —S. Barnes Davis, Tex Mechanica
Objective: Obtain 1500 Renown in the Crucible.
Rewards: Crucible Reputation, Experience
Tips: Players do not need to get kills with The Last Word, just have it equipped. Any killstreaks (single kills dont count) in Crucible with supers, grenades, Heavy Weapons and Special Weapons count (TLW needs to be equipped). Normal kills with the The Last Word grant 1%, Headshot kills grant 2%, Killstreaks give bonus %. Death subtracts 2%.
- If TLW is unequipped, you are not penalized for dying. You can keep the weapon unequipped then equip it when your super is ready for some easy kills and points.
- Players also get 3% per win. You don't need to have The Last Word equipped, when your team is about to win, equip the weapon. It takes 34 wins to do it from scratch. Useful if you have trouble with K/D.
- Play objective based games, so people aren't only focusing on killing you.
- Note that this step can be completed in Sparrow Racing League, just have your TLW equipped.

Step 3: Fiscal Persuasion

Step 5: Buckshot Bruiser
Task: Use a Shotgun to defeat Guardians in the Crucible and high-level minions of the Darkness.
Quote: "This Tex Mechanica contest is rough, but I promise you, the prize is worth it. I based the design on a shotgun my mama had when we were refugees on the road to the City. We called it 'The Chaperone.'" —Amanda Holliday
Objective: Obtain 500 Renown with Shotguns.
Rewards: Crucible Reputation, Vanguard Reputation, Experience
Tips: Each kill in Crucible with a shotgun grants 3%. You do not lose any points by dying in the Crucible. Yellow bar enemies in PvE grant you around 0.25-0.5% for each kill with a Shotgun.

Step 7: Two for the Road
Task: Use a shotgun to defeat the Shield Brothers on the Dreadnaught.

Objective: Defeat Valus Mau'ual in Dreadnaught, Rings of Saturn. Defeat Valus Tlu'urn in Dreadnaught, Rings of Saturn.

Step 8: Talk to Amanda
Task: Speak to Amanda Holliday in the Tower Hangar.
Quote: "The contest prize isn't an exact replica of the original Chaperone, of course. It'll be much more powerful, packed with top-notch Tex Mechanica engineering. But I did its visual design, and I replicated my mama's old shotgun down to the tiniest piece of tracery." —Amanda Holliday
