What is Third Iteration
Type: Scout Rifle
Element: Void
Third Iteration is shaping up to be one of the standout Exotics in the Edge of Fate expansion.
What sets this weapon apart is its unique dual-fire mechanic. Firing from the hip unleashes a tight cluster of projectiles, dealing high burst damage at close to mid-range. In contrast, aiming down sights compresses the spread into a single, powerful precision shot, much like a sniper round.
This precision shot applies a mark to the target, causing them to take increased damage from all future Third Iteration hits. If a marked target is defeated, the player gains invisibility and Truesight, making it ideal for high-pressure encounters. In practice, you can tag a key enemy with a precision shot, then quickly finish them off using hip-fired spread shots for a clean and efficient takedown.
How to get Third Iteration

Third Iteration Exotic Perks
Here are known Exotic Perks for the Third Iteration:
- Tri-Planar Mass Driver Intrinsic Trait: Fires a spread of Void energy projectiles. Aiming down sights narrows the spread.
- Amalgamation Rounds Exotic Trait: Aiming down sights for a short period without firing compresses the spread into a single high-density projectile. Damaging a target with this shot marks them. This weapon deals additional damage to marked targets. Defeating a marked target or landing a precision final blow with an Amalgamation Round grants invisibility and truesight.
