'''Cruel Mercy''' is a Legendary Pulse Rifle that deals Arc damage and uses the Heavy Burst frame. It was introduced in Season 26, alongside the Rite of the Nine content drop in Episode: Heresy.

Its flavor text reads: "Sometimes it's kinder to let go."

'''Cruel Mercy''' is in the Nightfall weapon pool and drops from Nightfall activities when it is featured. Zavala also sells it for a Vanguard Engram and a Nightfall Cipher. An Adept version can be obtained by completing Grandmaster Nightfalls.
