Cloudstrike

Overview

Cloudstrike is an Exotic Arc Sniper Rifle with the Rapid-Fire archetype (140 RPM). Its intrinsic perk, Mortal Polarity, makes precision final blows generate a lightning bolt at the target's location; the Exotic trait Stormbringer creates a lightning storm at the point of impact after rapid precision hits. Its lore tells of a masked Guardian who wielded lightning to protect a village from raiders.

Acquisition

• It is a rare drop from Empire Hunts, the Destiny 2: Beyond Light activity given by Variks, at Elected difficulty and above. Higher difficulty improves the odds. It is not guaranteed on any run.
• Owning Destiny 2: Beyond Light and finishing its campaign is required.
• It was introduced in Season 12.
• If you have collected it once, the Exotic Kiosk can reissue it.

Catalyst

The catalyst was released in Season 19 and drops at the end of core activities such as Strikes, Crucible, Gambit and Vanguard Ops; competitive matches have an increased chance on victories. After you equip it, 400 kills with Cloudstrike complete it. It adds +25 Handling and the Triple Tap perk, which returns a round to the magazine after consecutive precision hits.
