The Edge of Fate expansion brings a wave of new Exotics, and one of the most exciting is Graviton Spike: an Arc Exotic Hand Cannon with a unique effect and cool design. In this guide, we’ll cover everything we know about Graviton Spike so far, including its perks, catalyst, how to get it, and more.
What is Graviton Spike
Graviton Spike is a craftable Exotic Hand Cannon introduced in The Edge of Fate, most likely earned through a quest. It uses primary ammo, fits into the energy slot, and comes with a standout perk called Temporal Manipulation, allowing you to switch between two firing modes: a rapid-fire Arc shot and a slower, heavy-hitting Stasis shot, each with three rounds.
Landing precision hits with one element charges the other, activating powerful effects. Arc mode calls down lightning strikes, while Stasis mode creates crystals and sends out Coldsnap seekers. Graviton Spike is perfect for building Transcendence quickly and syncing with elemental builds.
How to get Graviton Spike

Graviton Spike will be available when the Edge of Fate expansion launches. To get Graviton Spike Exotic Hand Cannon, you’ll need to complete a dedicated Exotic quest.
We’ll update this guide with step-by-step instructions as soon as the unlock method is confirmed, so check back soon for the latest details!

- Stasis mode creates an explosion and a formation of Stasis crystals.
- Empty Deepsight Socket — TBD
