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.
