**The weapon's Linear Mode can be explained by its two unique perks, Volatile Battery and Temporal Unlimiter. Volatile Battery states that "This battery simultaneously exists in multiple timelines, causing the weapon to Overcharge". Temporal Unlimiter states that "Defeating targets builds stacks of Overcharge. Hold R to swap firing modes when fully Overcharged. In alternative firing mode, hold the trigger to charge up and fire more powerful linear fusion shots". This suggests that defeating targets with the Vex Mythoclast causes it to pull energy from alternate timeline variants of itself, which it stores within itself until the Linear Mode is activated, at which point the Mythoclast can fire three powerful long-ranged shots empowered with energy drawn from alternate versions of itself in other timelines, similar to how [[No Time To Explain]] operates. | **The weapon's Linear Mode can be explained by its two unique perks, Volatile Battery and Temporal Unlimiter.

*The fact that the Vex Mythoclast is "mysteriously fit for human hands" suggests that the Vex may be experimenting with benefitting from Guardian activities in some way or other, using data gathered from the Mythoclast's use to further some unknown hidden agenda despite the fact that the weapon is often used against the Vex just as it is used against all other enemies. | *The fact that the Vex Mythoclast is "mysteriously fit for human hands" suggests that the Vex may be experimenting with benefitting from Guardian activities in some way or other, using data gathered from the Mythoclast's use to further some unknown hidden agenda despite the fact that the weapon is often used against the Vex just as it is used against all other enemies. | ||
*When first introduced Vex Mythoclast was one of the most overpowered weapons in the Crucible, dealing 56 critical damage and 45 to the body. This would put it along side some modern heavy machine guns while only being in the primary slot. Despite this, due to its extreme difficulty in acquiring, only being obtainable by chance through Hard Mode Vault of Glass, it was only used by a fraction of the player base originally. However, its impact was quickly felt and its base damage was eventually lowered by 34% in patch 1.0.2.2. | |||
