"Think of space-time as a tapestry on a loom. This weapon is the needle."
— Weapon text.

Graviton Lance is an Exotic Pulse Rifle in Destiny 2. It was one of the first Exotic rarity weapons to be offered to the player, alongside Sunshot and Riskrunner. Nowadays, the weapon can be obtained from Exotic engrams, or bought from Xur should they be offering it.

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."
The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

THINK OF SPACE-TIME AS A TAPESTRY ON A LOOM. THIS WEAPON IS THE NEEDLE.

"So wait, that thing you found does... what?"
"It fires black holes."
"No it doesn't."
"Oh yeah. It does. Actual, tiny, bullet-sized black holes."
"Did you tell the others?"
"Only that I found some weird gun in some overgrown tunnel back on Old Chicago. And that my Ghost was all, 'THIS is why we were led here...'"
"Yours talks that way too?"
"What do you think?"
"OK, OK, but the gun-- are you going to tell them?"
"Yeah, definitely."
"When?"
"Crucible."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes."

Gameplay

Graviton Lance is a Void pulse rifle. It has the ability to fire two-shot bursts. The second shot in the burst does not have damage falloff, and due to its recoil, it can be treated like a scout rifle. When an enemy is killed with Graviton Lance, they will be sent flying backwards to explode into Void energy, releasing seeking projectiles that also make enemies explode if they are killed by them. Graviton Lance was a top contender in the Crucible as of the 1.2.0 update, which introduced a significant buff to pulse rifles. Amongst the guns improved by this update were the Vigilance Wing exotic pulse rifle, which rivaled the time to kill of Graviton Lance to within hundredths of a second. Despite this time in the sun, Graviton Lance has now been vastly outclassed by other guns, and sits near to the bottom of the pile in effectiveness within Crucible environments.
