With Bungie you never know if it's actually a key to a Easter egg. 
The Stranger hands it to you. This could be Bungie's way of saying this is important for other things.

	Its a middle finger easter egg

	Haha yeah I kept it just because. Still have my Warlock's... and now that I think about it my Titan still needs to finish story mode

	4 RepliesI finished the entire story on my Hunter and never got it. I'm not risking running it again just to waste all that time.

	Yeah rapid in regular crucible for the people who finished the story and are board of pve and need a good crucible weapon

	2 RepliesGood thing I didn't complete the story mode on my hunter. Check mate. I can get it whenever I need it.

	1 ReplyOops...anyone else feel the same?

	2 RepliesTheory: the reason the stranger gives you the strangers rifle is because you gave it to her in the future

	Necrobumb is Necro

	1 ReplyI kept one........just in case

	4 RepliesAgreed. Considering the fate of all fools looks like an upgraded version. Haha who knows

	Na there probably gonna say throw money at screen at 7/7/15

	It is it's op keep it

	4 RepliesI dismantled it and now i regret it..can anyone please tell me in order to get it do i have to make a character again or i can just do black garden again?

	I still use it in crucible. It's a great gun :) always thought its an oddity that needs to be kept for some yet unknown reason.

	1 ReplyWell it's too late now.

	Actually, many people keep their Stranger's Rifle because it wrecks face in normal Crucible.
- 
   
	I feel like the fact that the strangers rifle looks EXACTLY like the fate of all fools is some thing that is widley over looked and dismissed in the destiny community. I wouldnt be surprised if it was involved in an eventual exotic bounty for it
- 
   
	I just kept it because you only get once chance at it (other than making other characters) so I kept one and use it on patrols.
- 
   
	Doubt it

	1 ReplyGot it on my titan just in case. Thinking you might be able to upgrade your necrogasm in some cool way on oryx ship too.

	Wasn't sure if it was something to do with fate of fools... look the same.
