**The flavor text reads "...a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into...", which although it appears to be a small section of a larger analysis, can actually be fed back into itself: "a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism," etc. This explains how the Auto Mode of the Vex Mythoclast operates; the weapon is locked in a time-loop that fires the first bolt of a burst, then resets. The process repeats over and over again as long as the trigger is held down. | **The flavor text reads "...a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into...", which although it appears to be a small section of a larger analysis, can actually be fed back into itself: "a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism," etc. This explains how the Auto Mode of the Vex Mythoclast operates; the weapon is locked in a time-loop that fires the first bolt of a burst, then resets.

**The weapon's Linear Mode can be explained by its two unique perks, Volatile Battery and Temporal Unlimiter. Volatile Battery states that "This battery simultaneously exists in multiple timelines, causing the weapon to Overcharge". Temporal Unlimiter states that "Defeating targets builds stacks of Overcharge. Hold R to swap firing modes when fully Overcharged. In alternative firing mode, hold the trigger to charge up and fire more powerful linear fusion shots". This suggests that defeating targets with the Vex Mythoclast causes it to pull energy from alternate timeline variants of itself, which it stores within itself until the Linear Mode is activated, at which point the Mythoclast can fire three powerful long-ranged shots empowered with energy drawn from alternate versions of itself in other timelines, similar to how [[No Time To Explain]] operates. | **The weapon's Linear Mode can be explained by its two unique perks, Volatile Battery and Temporal Unlimiter.

*The fact that the | *The fact that the Vex Mythoclast is "mysteriously fit for human hands" suggests that the Vex may be experimenting with benefitting from Guardian activities in some way or other, using data gathered from the Mythoclast's use to further some unknown hidden agenda despite the fact that the weapon is often used against the Vex just as it is used against all other enemies. | ||
