'''Prometheus Lens''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Solar]] [[Trace rifle]] introduced the ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion for ''[[Destiny 2]]''. The weapon generates a field of intense heat the longer it is fired, and kills return a fraction of ammo spent (Around 1/3). The gun was originally shipped out in [[Curse of Osiris]] with a bug that increased its damage to kill noticeably faster than most other weapons, partially due to the solar damage field generated by the weapon. The bug was more noticeable and effective in PvP, and the discovery of this together with [[Xûr]] selling the weapon caused many players to use it during a period that is now commonly referred to as ''laser tag weekend''. This bug was later removed and a lot of people stopped using the weapon as much due to this.
