The Exotic reward is particularly valuable for newer players because Tractor Cannon is one of Destiny 2’s most recognizable support-heavy weapons, capable of weakening enemies and knocking targets back with its powerful blast. Multiple community reports confirm that Maeve’s Stash provides a free copy of Tractor Cannon after using the key.

Why Maeve’s Stash is worth opening

Many players overlook Shaw Han’s inventory and never realize that a free Exotic weapon is available in the Cosmodrome. Since the Triumph takes only a few moments to complete and provides both Triumph progress and an Exotic reward, it is one of the easiest objectives available in the Monument of Triumph.


The Key For Free Triumph is one of the fastest Triumphs to complete in Destiny 2. Simply visit Shaw Han in the Cosmodrome, claim Maeve’s Key, walk into the nearby building, and open Maeve’s Stash. In return, you’ll earn 10 Legendary Marks, complete the Triumph, and receive a free Tractor Cannon, making this a must-do activity for both new and returning Guardians.
