Crimson

Crimson is an Exotic Kinetic Hand Cannon introduced in Curse of Osiris. Its intrinsic perk Banned Weapon fires three-round bursts (415 RPM, 8-round magazine), making it the only burst-fire hand cannon. Its Exotic trait Cruel Remedy heals you on kills and refills the magazine on precision kills. It resembles the Red Death pulse rifle.

Acquisition

• Exotic Engrams as an extremely rare world drop.
• Xûr occasionally sells it.
• Reclaim from the Exotic Kiosk once collected.

Catalyst

Earned by precision kills with Crimson, which also masterworks it. It adds +18 Range (a 2020-era figure) and the perk To the Pain, which raises handling and aim assistance after taking damage.
