'''Anarchy''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Arc]] [[Grenade Launcher]]. It was originally acquired as a rare drop from the [[Scourge of the Past]] [[Raid|raid]]. As of the ''[[Beyond Light]]'' expansion, it can be obtained from the [[Monument To Lost Lights]] in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]].

Anarchy was very effective for most forms of challenging content during the three years following its release. This was in part due to its ammo economy and capability of passively dealing high damage over time. Its popularity and evident power came from the ability to use its damage over time effect whilst switching to another high damage weapon. This made it one of the strongest contenders for boss damage phases, whilst additionally having the versatility for quick add clear.
Anarchy was a staple for raids and other challenging content for a very long time due to its high ease of use, strong ammo economy and capability of dealing high damage over time. This made it the strongest Exotic weapon and the strongest heavy weapon at taking down bosses, while also being a solid option for add clear. This became an issue, as many fireteams would refuse to run raids with players without Anarchy, but a large amount of [[Spoils of Conquest]] (which are obtained from raids) are required to purchase the weapon from the Monument to Lost Lights. This significantly narrowed accessibility to raiding for most people, with only seasoned raiders who already owned Anarchy, or people with close friends who play ''[[Destiny 2]]'', being allowed to raid in a large amount of circumstances.


It's ability to deal passive damage lead to an extremely popular variation of the 'hot-swap technique'. With Anarchy, players could fire two bolts at a target to achieve the weapon's maximum damage output before switching to two slug shotguns that could be fired extremely quickly using a 'hot-swapping' technique. Whilst the effect was limited in range, for the majority of bosses in the game this was an incredibly powerful technique that trivialized many of the hardest encounters.
With the release of ''[[Season of the Lost]]'', Anarchy was notably nerfed. It received a 30% damage reduction to bosses, as well as a large reduction in total ammo capacity; from 26 to 16. This nerf was significant enough to end Anarchy's long reign, allowing for much more variety in heavy weapons to be used in raids and challenging content.
 
With the release of ''[[Season of the Lost]]'', Anarchy was notably reduced in effectiveness. Not only was this change made in light of its dominance in end-game content but additionally due to its increased scarcity. The Grenade Launcher received a 30% damage reduction to bosses, as well as a large reduction in total ammo capacity, (from 26 to 16) this was significant enough to end Anarchy's long reign.
 
In the years since, Anarchy has received a 20% damage increase (during ''[[Season of Defiance]]'') and an increase in reserves alongside other grenade launchers. Without the high damage, special weapon rotations of the past and with myriad other more effective damage over time options, the weapon has faded into antiquity despite the increases in effectiveness.

*Anarchy is the only weapon to deal Arc damage over time.
*Anarchy is one of only five weapons in ''Destiny 2'' that deal damage over time. The other weapons are: [[Le Monarque]], [[Osteo Striga]], [[Thorn]] and [[Witherhoard]]. It is the only weapon to deal Arc damage over time, and the only heavy weapon to deal damage over time.
 
*The painted white symbol across the weapon is that of the [[Kell's Scourge]].
