strange weapon
Prometheus lenses
The second Exotic trace rifle introduced into Destiny 2’s arsenal, the Prometheus Lens remains a great choice for anyone looking to fire off a powerful blast of fiery energy. Since Solar 3.0’s rework this year, the laser fired from this rifle will inflict Burn on enemies, and the longer you lock them off, the more stacks you apply to them to end the attack. explode. Even better, each kill with the Prometheus Lens reloads a bit from the reserve, making this a great tool for dealing with hordes of trash or burning down resilient enemies.
The story of the dead
For this week’s Dead Man’s Tale episode, there are plenty of perks. The main feature in this iteration of the Exotic scout rifle is the Charm of the Fourth, which returns two rounds to the magazine when you quickly take down critical hits. Paired with armor-piercing ammo and a dependable boon to stability, the DMT is a good weapon to pick from Xur right now.
Eagle
Hawkmoon works best when you hit those precise hits, and accumulating the power of Paracausal Shots for the final round and this week’s perks makes that task a little easier. The rangefinder increases effective range and zoom magnification, allowing you to keep your distance while aligning your shot perfectly.
