In Destiny, we take a closer look at the Exotic SUROS-Regime in Year 3.
In the first months of Destiny, the SUROS-Regime was considered the number one in the Crucible. The exotic auto rifle was significantly superior to other auto rifles thanks to its special properties. It was one of the most sought-after weapons in the game.
Over the months, Bungie put an end to the reign of the “White Queen.” In Year 2, it even left behind the white look and stepped onto the stage in elegant black. However, it can no longer match the dominance of its early days.

What makes SUROS-Regime special in Destiny?
The SUROS-Regime is an auto rifle with a low rate of fire and high impact. For this archetype, the range is rather low, while the stability is increased. Compared to the “Year 1” SUROS-Regime, the stability is 11 points higher. Here are the specific stats:
These are the perks:
- SUROS Legacy: The bottom half of each magazine deals bonus damage and can return health on kills.
You have the choice between:
- Fire Focus: When zoomed in, this weapon fires slower but causes additional damage.
- Spinning Up: The longer this weapon is fired, the higher the rate of fire.
You have the choice between:
- Lightweight: When held, the weapon grants +2 character agility
- Hammer Forged: Improved range and precision
Additionally, you can adjust range, impact, and recoil with Linear Compensator, Field Choke, and Drift Control.
How effective is the SUROS-Regime in PvP and PvE?
The auto rifle is currently not close to its glory days – primarily because it is not part of the current meta. Nevertheless, the weapon feels “exotic.”
In PvP, the perk “SUROS-Regime” is particularly useful as the bonus damage shortens the “Time to Kill” and can determine victory or defeat. Since only the bottom half of the magazine deals additional damage, you should not reload prematurely.
Interesting is also the choice between Fire Focus and Spinning Up. You can either increase the rate of fire or increase damage at the cost of rate of fire. This allows the SUROS-Regime to accommodate two different playstyles that you can experiment with.
Even in PvE, the exotic is a solid weapon. However,
there are better alternatives for the exotic slot. Keyword: Gjallarhorn.
Conclusion: If you do not yet own the SUROS-Regime, spending the 23 Strange Coins at Xur is well worth it. Currently, he refuses to offer the Three of Coins, into which many Guardians pour all their “Strange Coin” savings. It is definitely fun to wield this weapon throughout Destiny. And who knows, maybe one day it will be as powerful as it once was.
