History of Devil's Ruin

Devil's Ruin is a Solar Sidearm Exotic that fires as a primary energy weapon.

Overview

Its exotic perk, Close the Gap, makes final blows create Firesprites. After picking one up, the alternate weapon action turns on Pyrogenesis, a high-powered Solar laser beam that scorches targets and is strong against Stagger-Unstoppable Champions. In The Edge of Fate it received a boost and Featured Exotic status (+10% damage).
