'''Malfeasance''' is an exotic [[Hand Cannon]] introduced in ''[[Forsaken]]'' and obtainable through the Seething Heart [[Quest]]. When an enemy is hit with 5 or more shots, the slugs in the target all detonate, causing massive damage to the target, as well as a smaller amount of damage to surrounding enemies. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5jdyjkGEYw '''YouTube''': ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - New Weapons and Gear'']</ref>

With the release of ''[[Season of Plunder]]'', Malfeasance was granted an additional perk and is now intrinsically Unstoppable.

==Acquisition==
Previously, The Quest was triggered by defeating the [[Ascendant Primeval Servitor]], a [[Chimera]] that appeared randomly as a Primeval boss in [[Gambit]]. Following the changes to Gambit in [[The Witch Queen]] update, the Ascendant Primeval was removed, as its custom shielding mechanics conflicted with new mechanics, and the quest begins on the first [[Primeval]] kill. It will drop a Seething Heart which needs to be brought back to The Drifter, who will  send them to the [[Dreaming City]] to kill 25 [[Taken]] bosses or yellow-bars. The entrance to the [[Blind Well]] is a good place for this, as the Taken and the Scorn will constantly move against each other.

Following the changes to Gambit in [[The Witch Queen]] update, the Ascendant Primeval was removed, as its custom shielding mechanics conflicted with new mechanics. The quest now must be first obtained from the quest archive, and the quest begins on the first regular [[Primeval]] kill. It will drop a Seething Heart which needs to be brought back to The Drifter, who will  send them to the [[Dreaming City]] to kill 25 [[Taken]] bosses or yellow-bars. The entrance to the [[Blind Well]] is a good place for this, as the Taken and the Scorn will constantly move against each other.  


The next step is a mission version of the [[Strike]] [[The Corrupted]]. The player will head to [[Callum Sol]]'s Grave to obtain a '''Depleted Weapon Core''', which will start the next step when brought back to the Drifter.

==Trivia==
*When holding Malfeasance, the player's hands are shown to be trembling.
*Due to buffs and debuffs not having a form of fall-off of effectiveness, Explosive Shadow can stack and deal full damage at any distance, allowing players to kill enemies at any distance as long as they land 5 shots consecutively
