- "Nothing kills a Guardian faster than another Guardian."
- — The Drifter
Malfeasance is an exotic Hand Cannon introduced in Forsaken and obtainable through the Seething Heart Quest. Every fifth hit on the same target with this gun causes a powerful explosion, destroying nearby enemies.[1]
Acquisition
The Quest is triggered by defeating the Ascendant Primeval Servitor, a Chimera that appears randomly as a Primeval boss in Gambit. 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 with a recommended Power level of 580. The player will head to Callum's Grave to obtain a Depleted Weapon Core, which will start the next step when brought back to the Drifter.
The next step requires the player to win Gambit matches and deposit motes. However, dropped motes will subtract x2, so the safest strategy is to only deposit a few at a time.
The last step requires the player to defeat 25 opposing Guardians, either by invading the other side or killing an invading enemy, and defeat 4 opponents during a single invade. This step can be completed by either themselves or a teammate, but requires three team wipes from a teammate instead of 1. When both tasks are completed, the Malfeasance will be rewarded when visiting the Drifter again.
