History of The Beacon

Overview

The Beacon is a Legendary Solar Fusion Rifle with the Rapid-Fire Frame archetype (deeper reserves and a slightly faster reload on an empty magazine), introduced as a Guardian Games 2026 weapon in Season 28. Its random-roll perk pool includes Overflow, Demolitionist, Rewind Rounds, Bait and Switch, Controlled Burst and Reservoir Burst, with the Classy Contender origin trait granting class ability energy on final blows. Its flavor text reads "They'll see you from space." Sources list stats of roughly 55 Impact and a 7-round magazine.
