Forerunner is a high damage Kinetic | Forerunner is a high damage [[Kinetic]] sidearm, unique in its use of Special ammo. This may remind Destiny 1 veterans of sidearms in that game, before they became standard primary ammo weapons with the release of Destiny 2. It also comes equipped with a short range scope for easier target acquisition. Firing at full auto, it can deal out heavy damage in short shrift, though it exhibits strong kick when fired fully auto. As a trait, tap firing the gun provides less recoil and improves accuracy on each shot. | ||
Its catalyst trait provides the ability to exchange your grenade ability with a Fragmentation Grenade after a kill, at the cost of 6 ammo, which inherits any effect associated with grenades being thrown, damage being dealt with grenades or kills made with grenades. | Its catalyst trait provides the ability to exchange your grenade ability with a Fragmentation Grenade after a kill, at the cost of 6 ammo, which inherits any effect associated with grenades being thrown, damage being dealt with grenades or kills made with grenades. | ||
