Revision 3079 by archivist at 2026-10-01 18:21:43

Sunshot is an Exotic Solar Hand Cannon (150 RPM).

Overview

Intrinsic perks: Sunburn (explosive rounds that highlight damaged targets) and Sun Blast (defeated targets explode, scorching nearby enemies).

Acquisition

  • Exotic engram drops, Xûr, and the Exotic focusing system for weapons at Rahool once collected.
  • Historical: guaranteed from the Red War campaign, which is no longer available.

Catalyst

Adds Range +27 and Stability +18, and produces Orbs of Light on multi-kills. Unlock by getting 500 kills with Sunshot and 1,000 with Sun Blast explosions. Game Rant says the catalyst dropped from Strikes or Crucible; TimeSaver says it now drops from Portal activities. Sources differ, likely due to age.
