In Destiny 2 there is a powerful exotic weapon that many may not be aware of. For numerous players, it is currently not possible to obtain this gun.
The Wavesplitter, the third linear fusion rifle in Destiny 2, is one of the best exotic weapons currently available in Destiny 2. It performs excellently against AI opponents in PvE content as well as against other Guardians in the Crucible. Nevertheless, the weapon is hardly in the spotlight and relatively little is reported about its qualities. But there is a reason for that.
That’s why many Guardians are unaware of the Wavesplitter
The biggest problem with the Wavesplitter: The weapon is only available randomly from exotic engrams, and on the other hand, the Wavesplitter is currently still PS4-exclusive. Therefore, fewer players currently have access to this Exotic, with two platforms missing entirely.
Since almost all well-known Destiny YouTubers and streaming personalities now play on PC and produce their content there, the weapon receives relatively little attention despite its performance. Thus, it remains under the radar of many players – even those who play on PS4.
For example, the well-known Destiny YouTuber Mtashed admits that he only became aware of this weapon through a friend on PS4 and then tested it on his account. Until then, he was not even properly aware of the existence of the Wavesplitter, as hardly anything was heard about this linear fusion rifle aside from the announcement of the PS4 exclusives.
When will the Wavesplitter be available on PC and Xbox One? This has not yet been officially announced. However, it is suspected to be around September 2019. The PS4-exclusive content from the first year of Destiny 2 only became available on other platforms with the launch of Forsaken, one year after their release.
However, if the weapon is not nerfed by then, the arsenal on PC and Xbox One will be enriched with a really good Exotic that the Guardians can look forward to.
That’s why the Wavesplitter is one of the best weapon Exotics
What makes the Wavesplitter special? This linear fusion rifle fires a concentrated laser beam with Void damage. This beam has three different intensities, which vary while holding down the trigger. Thus, the damage of the weapon also varies.
However, if you collect a Sphere of Light, the Wavesplitter maintains its maximum power continuously for a short time. This allows the weapon to deal massive damage.
The weapon impresses across the board: The weapon performs impressively across all areas of the game. In PvE, the weapon looks just as good as in the Crucible or in Gambit. Not for nothing do many Guardians consider this linear fusion rifle to be one of the best exotic all-round weapons in the game, which also does not take up a Power slot.
While the damage output of the weapon varies between the three levels, even at the lowest level the Wavesplitter deals considerable damage. At the highest level, it melts away almost everything that stands in front of it. Only against raid bosses are there better exotic alternatives – but then in the Power slot.
The Wavesplitter reaches its full potential when you collect Spheres of Light. Then the intensity of the damage no longer oscillates between the three levels, but immediately jumps to the maximum for a duration of 9 seconds, increasing the damage output by about 50%.
This effect has no cooldown. So you can collect the next light sphere as needed and renew or maintain the buff. When playing in a team where you are sufficiently supplied with spheres of light, the weapon becomes an absolute DPS monster.
