'''Hard Light''' is a high-tech [[exotic]] energy [[auto rifle]] in ''[[Destiny]]''.<ref name= Bungie Podcast">[http://downloads.bungie.com/podcasts/Bungie_Podcast_092413.mp3 '''Bungie Podcast''' - ''September 2013'']</ref> It is an experimental prototype weapon based on recovered [[Golden Age]] technology, developed by specialist [[Exo]] engineers from [[Omolon]], and at least one [[Thanatonaut]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory#Hard Light|Hard Light]]''</ref> Hard Light is one of few guns in [[Destiny (franchise)]] with virtually no damage fall-off from rounds fired from the weapon. One of the iconic (and frustrating) quirks about the gun is the tradeoff of no actual recoil for horrendous screen shake while firing the gun, making it seem more unstable than it really is. This is no longer the case in [[Destiny 2]], where the screen shake has since been completely removed, in addition to giving it the ability to swap between all 3 elements by holding the reload button ([[Arc]], [[Solar]], then [[Void]]).

Hard Light returns as an [[Energy Weapon]] with its main perk Volatile Light intact, with an additional perk that allows the user to switch between Arc, Solar, and Void damage. It saw extensive use in Season of the worthy, resulting in a severe nerf. This nerf added damage falloff and reduced bonus ricochet damage.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48981 '''Bungie.net''' - '''DESTINY 2 HOTFIX 2.8.1.1''']</ref>
