The Weapons of Sorrow are a collection of infamous Guardian weapons that have been modified by Hive arcane science and magic. They are associated with tragedy and destruction, as they seem to inevitably corrupt the Guardians that wield them and drive them to commit heinous acts of violence and cruelty. Most of these weapons were believed to have been destroyed.
There are only four confirmed Weapons of Sorrow: the Hand Cannon known as Thorn[1], the Auto Rifle known as Necrochasm[2], the Scout Rifle known as Touch of Malice[3] and the Submachine Gun known as Osteo Striga[4]. Various other weapons bear some of the hallmarks of Weapons of Sorrow, but are not confirmed to be part of this class; these include the Pulse Rifle Bad Juju, the Sniper Rifle Whisper of the Worm, and the Hand Cannon Malfeasance.
The Hive Acolyte Enkaar, the Anointed is known to be a craftsman of one or more Weapons of Sorrow; Enkaar himself wields a weapon referred to as "Proto-Thorn", which may or may not itself be a Weapon of Sorrow.
Known Weapons of Sorrow
- Thorn - 140 RPM Hand Cannon that shoots giant "thorns" and causes damage over time. The exotic perk grants extra damage over time and refills part of the magazine upon collecting a Remnant.
- Necrochasm - 900 RM Auto Rifle that causes targets to explode like Thralls on precision kills.
- Touch of Malice - 260 RPM Scout Rifle that reloads the last round of the magazine, dealing damage at the expense of the wielder's health. Obtained from the King's Fall Raid.
- Osteo Striga - 750 RPM Submachine Gun that poisons targets after 10 shots of the magazine, as well as spreading damage over time to nearby enemies. Shoots tracking projectiles instead of bullets. This weapon's exotic catalyst allows kills with poison damage to refill and overload the magazine (up to a capacity of 105).
Trivia
- The Weapons from the Crota's End Raid appear as human-made armaments infused with Hive chiton, whether these are weapons of sorrow is unclear.
- The weapons that also appear as Crown of Sorrow Raid seem to be corrupted Reef weapons infused with Hive runes, whether these are weapons of sorrow is also unclear.
