History of Xenophage
Revision 14903 by d2-exotics at 2026-10-09 05:24:56
Xenophage is a Solar Exotic Machine Gun with an anti-Unstoppable profile. Its intrinsic perk, Pyrotoxin Rounds, fires high-powered explosive ammunition. Lore-wise it is the first known weapon to use a Guardian's soul: that of Omar Agah, a Titan transformed by Hive experimentation, visible as a crystal during reload.
