In Destiny , a player has completed the oversized treasure hunt for calcified fragments and has received the Touch of Malice.
Not all exotic weapons in Destiny are known. 13 are officially in the database. Some others, like Sleeper Simulant or “Touch of Malice” are known, but they are not in the database. Details are still unclear.
Until now, only the name of “Touch of Malice” was known. Game Director Luke Smith raved about Touch of Malice, declaring it his personal favorite and stated he hopes it will gain the same cult status in Year 2 as Gjallarhorn did in Year 1.
Touch of Malice – Scout rifle with interesting perks
Last night, the Touch of Malice was found for the first time by the player SackofFerrets. It is indeed the weapon that caused a stir with images beforehand.
The Touch of Malice is an exotic scout rifle with two exotic perks. One restores health when you achieve three precision kills in quick succession. The other perk ensures that the last round in the magazine deals bonus damage, while also draining the user’s health.
How to get the Touch of Malice in Destiny?
The Touch of Malice is awarded at the end of a challenging and lengthy quest in the Taken King, which is a search, as it is referred to in Destiny-German.
Almost every Guardian is on this quest. Without knowing what awaits them at the end, they search for the calcified fragments in the Dreadnaught. Many thought it would result in Sleeper Simulant.
The exact process of the quest is still unclear at the moment. In addition to collecting these fragments, which are hidden everywhere, there are a few more quest steps where Guardians have to complete specific missions.
It may also be that to fully complete the Touch of Malice, you need an item from the final boss of the raid “King’s Fall”, which does not drop every time – similar to Crux for Necrochasm.
And where can you find the calcified fragments?
Unfortunately, this is not entirely clear at the moment. The user who was the first to receive the “Touch of Malice” worldwide says he only needed “45” calcified fragments for it. He knows the details alone. He also says that the scout rifle is fully automatic and needs Hadium Flakes to be upgraded.
But this will surely become known in the coming days and detailed guides will emerge.
