The Arc Rifle Wavesplitter

What is the Wavesplitter? The Wavesplitter is an exotic arc rifle used in the energy slot. With this Void specimen, the family of arc rifles, which also includes the Coldheart (Arc) and Prometheus Lens (Solar), is now complete.
What makes this arc rifle so special? The laser beam of the Wavesplitter has three strengths that change while the trigger is held down. If you collect a sphere of light, the weapon reaches maximum power for a short time, starting with an automatic reload.
How do you get the Wavesplitter? You can obtain this weapon as a random drop from all sources that drop exotic engrams but only on PS4 for now. Only in September 2019 will the Wavesplitter officially come to PC and Xbox One.
What is this exotic weapon best suited for? The Wavesplitter is one of the best all-around weapon exotics in the game that does not occupy a power slot. Although the weapon’s damage varies between three levels, even at the lowest level, it already deals good damage, and at the highest level, it melts through practically anything in its path – whether in PvP, PvE, or Gambit.
The weapon fully unleashes its true power when you can collect light spheres. Then the damage no longer oscillates between the three levels, but immediately jumps to maximum for 9 seconds, increasing the weapon’s damage by approximately 50%. The effect has no cooldown. You can immediately collect the next light sphere or do so while the effect is still active to refresh the buff.
