Destiny: Rise of Iron introduces a wealth of new weapons, among which includes the return of the Khvostov from the base game, which you may recall as the first ever weapon that Guardians get their hands on in Bungie’s shared-world shooter.
Destiny: Rise of Iron Khvostov exotic looks the business
However, the old-school assault rifle isn’t just back in its original form. Nope, this time around, the Khvostov returns in exotic form for Destiny: Rise of Iron, putting it in the same rank as some of the game’s most powerful weaponry.
The Khvostov 7G-0X doesn’t just pack a powerful punch when it comes to firepower, it also boasts some interesting customisation options. Guardians can opt to utilise the weapon on full-auto, burst, or single fire, essentially making it an auto rifle, pulse rifle, and scout rifle depending on your preferences.
See below for full details on the Khvostov exotic.
