Touch of Malice (perk)

Overview

Touch of Malice is the intrinsic perk on the Touch of Malice Exotic Scout Rifle, a Kinetic weapon from the King's Fall raid.

The final round in the magazine deals bonus damage, paid for with the wielder's life force, and then the round regenerates.

Rapidly defeating three targets restores health. Guardians and powerful combatants count as more than one defeated target, so tough enemies restore more health per kill. In Destiny 1 the final round's damage was doubled.
