'''Monte Carlo''' is | '''Monte Carlo''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Auto Rifle]] introduced exclusively in Destiny for PlayStation players. The rifle looks different from many other [[auto rifle]]s in that the front of the weapon has a bayonet. It was once a purely cosmetic attachment that could not be used until the introduction of its catalyst in [[Season of the Witch]], which allowed players to utilize it for powerful melee attacks. A Year Two version of Monte Carlo was reintroduced in ''[[The Taken King]]''. It was reintroduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during ''[[Season of the Undying]]'' in the ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' annual pass. | ||

* | *Given that it comes with the unique perk Markov Chain, it could also be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Markov chain|Markov Chain]], which is a class of algorithms for sampling from a probability distribution. By constructing a Markov chain that has the desired distribution as its equilibrium distribution, one can obtain a sample of the desired distribution by recording states from the chain. The more steps that are included, the more closely the distribution of the sample matches the actual desired distribution. | ||
