Red Death

"This is our ‘Heavy Metal’ gun."

- Tom Doyle, Bungie Art Lead.

Red Death is an exotic pulse rifle featured in Destiny. The rifle features a bayonet on its barrel. It was formerly owned by a Guardian, until its owner was killed, presumably in battle. It was then taken by a bandit, who repainted it and modified it, among other things hacking the optics and adding new graphics. This potent pulse rifle offers a bevy of perks to your character that trigger more frequently during competitive multiplayer. In addition to inflicting some serious hurt on any foe that gets in it's way, it shines strongest after getting some upgrades, including the invaluable ability to regenerate health at an increased rate.

Trivia
The Red Death closely resembles the Mark 1 "Retro" Lancer assault rifle from the Gears of War series.
