History of The Queenbreaker

The Queenbreaker is an Arc Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle in the Precision archetype.

Overview

• Intrinsic trait – Wire Rifle: switch between two sights with different firing behavior. Marksman Sights fires a long-range bolt that chains to nearby targets and blinds them; Combat Sights fires a three-round burst with a faster charge time after sustained damage.
• The weapon can stun Unstoppable Champions.

Acquisition

The Queenbreaker can drop from Exotic Engrams and is occasionally sold by Xûr, according to the page's September 2026 acquisition reference. Xûr's stock rotates, so a specific week cannot be guaranteed.

Catalyst

The catalyst adds Rewind Rounds, which refills the magazine from reserves based on hits when the magazine is empty. A February 2025 guide reported it as a random drop from completed Gambit, Vanguard, or Crucible matches. Bungie reorganized the Vanguard and Crucible playlists in June 2026; I could not verify whether the catalyst drop route changed, so those are historical reported sources. After obtaining it, insert the catalyst and defeat targets with The Queenbreaker to unlock it.
