Edge of Fate is here, and we now know all four Exotic weapons from it. Now that the expansion has dropped, players are diving in to see just how powerful these Exotics really are.
With Edge of Fate now live, it’s time to take a closer look at the standout weapons in Destiny 2’s newest chapter. Leading the charge is a brand-new Exotic Hand Cannon, the first of its kind in almost five years. Joining it is a powerful Exotic Scout Rifle that’s already turning heads and could make a serious impact on the current meta.
Graviton Spike Exotic Hand Canon
Graviton Spike is an Exotic Arc Hand Cannon from Edge of Fate, unlocked through a quest. It swaps between Arc and Stasis modes via Temporal Manipulation, each with unique effects. Precision hits charge the opposite mode, triggering lightning or crystal-based damage. Four catalysts enhance reload, stability, damage output, and elemental synergy.

Third Iteration Exotic Scout Rifle
Third Iteration is a Void Exotic Scout Rifle from Edge of Fate, available through the Season Reward Pass. It features a dual-fire mode: hip-fire spreads high-damage projectiles, while ADS fires a sniper-like shot that marks targets. Marked enemies take increased damage; killing them grants invisibility and Truesight. Its Catalyst causes precision kills to trigger a weakening blast.

New Land Beyond Exotic Sniper Rifle
- Type: Sniper Rifle
- Element: Kinetic
New Land Beyond is currently available in Destiny 2 for players who pre-order the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition. While the weapon is functional and accessible, it doesn’t appear to be game-breaking and has several strong alternatives at the moment. For a full breakdown of its stats, performance, and potential, check out our complete New Land Beyond overview.
New Land Beyond Exotic Perks
New Land Beyond has the following Exotic Perks:
- The Master: Scoring precision hits increases this weapon’s damage until the wielder’s defeat. Massively increases ammo reserves.
- Bullseye Bolster: Landing a precision hit substantially increases this weapon’s target acquisition, handling, reload speed, and stability for a short duration of time.
New Land Beyond Catalyst
Here is the New Land Beyond Catalyst effect:
- New Land Beyond Catalyst causes new rounds of ammo to load into the magazine when you have high stacks of the The Master Exotic Perk damage buff.
The New Land Beyond Catalyst will be available with the launch of the Edge of Fate expansion. Players who pre-order the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition will receive the Catalyst immediately when the expansion goes live. Any alternative method for unlocking the New Land Beyond Catalyst has not been confirmed at this time.
Whirling Ovation Exotic Rocket Launcher
The Whirling Ovation Exotic Rocket Launcher is the final Exotic weapon introduced in Destiny 2’s Edge of Fate expansion, dropping from the new Desert Perpetual raid. This Heavy Strand launcher features two unique perks: Coronal Culmination and Anticipation.
It can only drop once per character per week, and players must own the Edge of Fate expansion and access the raid to obtain it.

The Edge of Fate expansion is set to introduce powerful Exotic weapons that could significantly impact the Destiny 2 meta. As always, our Destiny 2 carry services are here to help you unlock all the new Exotics.
