This is how you get the Infraction in Destiny 2. The exotic hand cannon is tied to a quest.
Malfeasance quest is now live: With the weekly reset on September 25th, the curse in the Dreaming City has spread particularly strongly, unlocking some new content. This includes an exotic quest for the Infraction. The exotic weapon is called “Malfeasance” in English and is highly sought after.
Note: The following contains many spoilers related to the exotic quest for the Infraction.
This is how you get the Malfeasance quest
Random enemies in Gambit: First, you need a bit of luck. You have to play Gambit matches and hope that an Ascendant Primeval spawns.
This specific Primeval is a Possessed Servitor:
There is probably no specific trick to ensure this Primeval spawns. It is random whether this or a “normal” Primeval appears with 75 particles in the bank.
The Ascendant Primeval is the boss of both teams in that round. You need to defeat it before the enemy team to ensure you receive the exotic quest.
There are user reports that you can also randomly receive the quest if the enemy team defeats the Primeval – but play it safe and defeat it yourself.
The first quest step is then “The Wailing Heart”.
Important: The chance for the Infraction quest remains even after the peak of the curse, that is, after the end of the respective third week. However, the likelihood of the Ascendant Primeval spawning is higher during the final third curse week.
The path to the Infraction
Step 1: Go to the Wandering Guardian in the Tower and show him the Wailing Heart.
Step 2 – City of Secrets: You need to search in the Dreaming City for the trail of a thief who stole from the Wandering Guardian.
Therefore, you must defeat 25 Possessed bosses and Possessed minibosses in the Dreaming City. You can find Possessed enemies with yellow or orange health bars almost everywhere, such as in public events, lost sectors, or directly in the open world.
Step 3 – The Corrupted: Complete the mission “The Corrupted”. This is the mission variant of the eponymous strike in the Dreaming City. The mission is displayed on the map and recommends a power level of 580. On reddit a user reports that you can play this mission with 6 Guardians. Start it with three Guardians, three others can join afterward.
You will go into Callum’s resting place, which is very lore-rich. You can read about who Callum was and how he died here.
Step 4 – Exhausted Weapon Core: Speak with the Wandering Guardian in the Tower again.
Gambit and more Gambit
Step 5 – The Usual Path: Win Gambit matches and collect particles.
- A victory gives 10%, a loss deducts nothing. So you need 10 Gambit victories.
- 5 particles give 1%. Other users report that 4 particles give 1%. If you die while holding particles, a few percentages of your progress will be deducted. So collect 400 to 500 particles and do not die in the process.
Step 6 – Lights Out:
- As an Invader in Gambit, defeat 25 enemies.
- A allied Guardian must defeat four opposing Guardians as an Invader in three Invasion phases or you must defeat four opposing Guardians yourself as an Invader in one Invasion phase.
If you are not very good in PvP, an ally can make the 4 Invasion kills for you. If they do so in one Invasion phase, your progress will increase by 33%. Overall, an ally must do this for you three times – or you do it once yourself.
Step 7 – Dark Weapon Core: Speak with the Wandering Guardian in the Tower. Now he will give you the Infraction.

What can Infraction do in Destiny 2?
Infraction is an exotic hand cannon with 180 rate of fire and 78 impact. Here are the stats:
These perks define the Infraction:
- Explosive Shadow: Fires corrupted rounds that burrow into an enemy. If enough rounds are stacked, they explode.
- Possessed Hunter: Bonus damage against Possessed enemies and Gambit Invaders.
In the lore tab of the weapon, the Wandering Guardian speaks to you: “A long time ago, I searched for a replacement for a weapon called “Dorn“. It is not a replacement, but for me it is better. We built it together. And when we all have one in our hands? Then even the man with the Golden Gun should hesitate. Maybe we cannot shoot faster than him. Perhaps no one can. But if we all shoot together? Then we don’t have to be faster than him. Then he will die too.”
