History of Wire Rifle

Overview

Wire Rifle is the intrinsic on The Queenbreaker, an Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle with Arc damage. The Alternate Weapon Action switches between two scopes and changes how the weapon fires. It is strong against Stagger Unstoppable Champions.

Marksman Sights fire a single bolt that chains to nearby targets and blinds them on hit. Combat Sights fire a three-round burst, and sustained damage lowers its charge time further.

The weapon comes from Exotic engrams, Xûr and the Fated Engram, not from an Exotic quest. As of July 2025, the Xûr offer can take a long time, and the Fated Engram guarantees the weapon after enough tries.
