Zen Meteor is a fairly well balanced sniper rifle. The intrinsic perk turns each round into an explosive round. Combined with the high impact most sniper rifles guarantee, most enemies close to the level of the weapon will fall in two body shots, and enemies nearby will take damage if close enough. This enables you to scatter and weaken enemies clustered together. | Zen Meteor is a fairly well balanced sniper rifle. The intrinsic perk turns each round into an explosive round.

Because of the nature of the Exotic Perk, this weapon is as good as any other sniper rifle against bosses. However, in [[Raid]]s, enemies usually spawn in the same places each wave. With good speed and aim, the perk can be used to pick off enemies as they appear and get the extra round. However, because of the fact that you will be operating with a [[Fireteam]], allies may kill enemies before you can, making it harder to take advantage of the perk. | Because of the nature of the Exotic Perk, this weapon is as good as any other sniper rifle against bosses.

==Trivia== | |||
*The names of this weapon's perks are a thinly-veiled reference to [[wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen's]] classic song, "[[wikipedia:Killer Queen|Killer Queen]]". | |||
*According to the weapon's Grimoire, Zen Meteor was made by the [[Warlock]]s [[Taeko-3]] (of the [[Praxic Order]]) and [[The Stoic]], and the [[Hunter]] [[Uzoma Vale]].<ref name="Zen Meteor Grimoire Card" /> | |||
