Destiny 2 players will get one of the most unique tracer rifles ever in the game with The Final Shape, and it doesn't use green ammo.
Preview of Microcosm Exotic Heavy Trace Rifle | Destiny 2: The Final Shape
The upcoming Microcosm Exotic trace rifle will appear in the Heavy slot when it launches with Destiny 2's next expansion, Bungie announced today. While the weapon type has been around for years, this is the first time it's been introduced using purple gems instead of green ones.
As an Exotic, Microcosm's flavor comes from more than just its ammo type. It "deals massive bonus damage to shields," as seen in the weapon's trailer, and appears to fire a large, highly damaging beam.
The extra shield damage might not be the only trait: Osteo Striga's description in The Witch Queen gear trailer was simple: "swarming projectiles unleash a toxic burst," which doesn't do justice to one of the game's best submachine guns. There's also no mention of Striga's interaction with the Necrotic Grips Warlock gauntlets, so it's difficult to gauge the trace rifle's full potential.
