'''Queenbreakers' Bow''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Fusion | '''Queenbreakers' Bow''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Fusion Rifle]] from ''[[Destiny |Destiny's]]'' ''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'' expansion.<ref>[http://www.destinydb.com/items/2612834019 '''DestinyDB.com''' - ''Queenbreakers' Bow'']</ref> Similar to the [[Vex Mythoclast]], it is an atypical fusion rifle; in this case it is more of a sniper rifle hybrid (eventually contextualized in Destiny 2 as ''[[Linear Fusion Rifle |Linear Fusion Rifles]]''). These weapons were originally [[Fallen]] [[Wire Rifle]]s that belonged to the [[Queenbreaker]]s and became prized trophies due to their bloody history. The exotic later made a return in the ''[[Destiny 2]]'' expansion ''[[Forsaken]]'', renamed '''The Queenbreaker''' and re-classified as a power weapon, [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]. | ||

This is a [[Wire Rifle|wire rifle]]; | This is a [[Wire Rifle|wire rifle]]; using the same projectile effects and distinct sounds. Its weapon sights are clearly meant for Eliksni biology, whilst player Guardians can only use one scope at a time, an Eliksni sharpshooter can see through both with two of its four eyes. The weapon's charge time and damage changes depending on which scope is equipped; with the long-range Marksman sights, the charge time is longer but the base damage is greater. With the short-range Combat sights, the charge time is shorter at the cost of lesser damage. Precision shots will generally kill all non-major enemies, and the Hidden Hand trait combined with its already high aim assist stat will help ensure the player will rarely miss the intended target. The ability to change scopes to fit the situation gives the weapon a flexible utility for encounters that combine close-quarters and long-range enemies in one setting. Finally, its Arc damage make it very effective against units with [[Absorption shield|shields]], such as Captains or Knights. | ||
The two scope choices are simplified as follows: | The two scope choices are simplified as follows: | ||

This charge rate combined with bullet travel time (which sniper rounds ignore) will hinder this weapon's performance. The Bow also provides a very generous amount of ammunition reserves at 55 rounds with no armour modifiers. | ||
Another strong contrast to other sniper rifles is the excellent hip-fire accuracy, a natural trait for most fusion rifles. This coupled with the Hip Fire trait makes the Bow viable for any range. Hip-fire accuracy is something that sniper rifles have virtually none of. One can say the real reason for its Exotic status is the very fact it is a fusion-sniper hybrid. Whether or not this is enough to justify having this weapon over existing sniper rifles or another viable Exotic in a primary/heavy weapon slot will ultimately belong to individual experience, fun factor, or preference. | Another strong contrast to other sniper rifles is the excellent hip-fire accuracy, a natural trait for most fusion rifles.

The Queenbreakers' Bow | Originally The Queenbreakers' Bow was one of three possible rewards for [[The Elder Cipher]] exotic bounty, the other two being [[Lord of Wolves]] and [[Dreg's Promise]]. The bounty was only available as a random reward for the level 34 or 35 [[Prison of Elders]] challenge modes. From Year Two onwards, the weapon had a random chance of being acquired after completing [[Challenge of the Elders]]. | ||
It should be noted that the trait "Send It" will only increase the Combat scope's range to that of the Marksman scope; it will not further increase the Marksman scope's range. | It should be noted that the trait "Send It" will only increase the Combat scope's range to that of the Marksman scope; it will not further increase the Marksman scope's range. | ||

Starting with the release of Forsaken, | Starting with the release of Forsaken, now The Queenbreaker, can be obtained as a random drop from world [[exotic]] loot pool. It also could be acquired from Spider's [[Bounties]] however this option was removed with the Tangled Shore at the launch of Witch Queen. Now classified as a [[Linear Fusion Rifle]], it is a power weapon and requires power ammunition. | ||
Whilst it performs much the same as its original incarnation it has been given a new minor change in utility: adding a blinding as a secondary status effect on enemy units struck by the projectile. In a similar vein to [[Sleeper Simulant]], the weapon became a popular choice for [[Gambit]] players as the various mix of close and long-range combatants in Gambit maps allowed the Queenbreaker's flexibility to excel at any ideal range. Since its massive popularity at Gambit's launch the weapon has seen a reduction in its aim assist stat. With the advent of Lightfall, Bungie have promised a new change to adopt the subclass 3.0 verbs. | |||
