- Weapon description.

The Vex Mythoclast is an exotic weapon obtainable in Destiny by completing the Vault of Glass raid on Hard mode. It is a unique one-of-a-kind fusion rifle that fits into the Primary Weapon Slot. Unlike other fusion rifles, it has no charge time; a single squeeze of the trigger fires a shot, and it is capable of sustained fire, making it behave more like an auto rifle while benefiting from fusion rifle perks on armor. It also has the ability to deal precision damage, unlike the other fusion rifles.

Upgrades
The Vex Mythoclast has an upgrade tree similar to other Exotic weapons. It possesses the Aggressive Ballistics, Linear Compensator, and Smart Drift Control upgrades on its first column of upgrade nodes. The next non-damage upgrade is Zen Moment, an upgrade that causes the Mythoclast to increase stability upon causing damage. Its next column of three contains the Extended Mag upgrade, increasing the magazine to 35, the Send It upgrade, increasing range and accuracy, and the Lightweight upgrade, giving the player +2 Agility while wielding it. After the second column, the Vex Mythoclast unlocks the Crowd Control upgrade, causing it to deal increased damage after every kill.

Gameplay
The Mythoclast is a very powerful weapon in both PvE and PvP. In general gameplay, it possesses a high rate of fire and a high damage value. Although it only possesses 323 maximum attack, its damage rivals the higher-attacked 331 Exotics. Due to its high rate of fire and low stability, the Mythoclast is recognized as having a high amount of recoil. In PvP it is widely considered to be one of the most powerful weapons. The Vex Mythoclast possesses a very high precision damage rate, at 1.5x, making it a very effective weapon for getting headshots. It is very common to run out of ammo quickly with the Mythoclast, as it has a high fire rate and only a 21 magazine. It is this reason that the Extended Mag upgrade is one of the more popularly used ones.

Trivia
The name "Mythoclast" is derived from the Greek words "mûthos", or "fable/legend" and klastós or "broken in pieces". Thus the literal definition of the name is "Breaker of Myths".
