'''Arbalest''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Kinetic]] [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]. It was obtainable from [[Eva Levante]] after completing the ''Party Hard'' triumph during [[The Revelry]] event. Due to this content no longer being in the game, Arbalest is now obtainable from Exotic [[Engram]]s.
'''Arbalest''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Linear fusion rifle]]. It can be acquired from [[Eva Levante]] after completing the ''Party Hard'' triumph during The Revelry event or from acquired exotic engrams.
 
==Gameplay==
Arbalest acts like a handheld [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun railgun] in that it deals high damage and is particularly effective against [[Absorption shield]]s, however it also has a low rate of fire and reload speed. It also has intrinsic anti-barrier properties, allowing the destruction of barrier champion shields without an appropriate seasonal mod.
 
==Perks==
*'''[[lightgg:2564164194|Compounding Force]]:''' Fires slugs that cause massive damage to elemental shields of enemy combatants. Strong against Barrier [[Champion]]s.
*'''[[lightgg:1467527085|Extended Barrel]]:''' Weighty barrel extension. Increases range. Decreases handling speed. Moderately controls recoil.
*'''[[lightgg:2969185026|Projection Fuse]]:''' Distance optimizations. Increases range.
*'''[[lightgg:1683379515|Disruption Break]]:''' Breaking an enemy's shield with this weapon makes them more vulnerable to Kinetic damage for a brief period.
*'''[[lightgg:3465198467|Composite Stock]]:''' This weapon has a versatile dual-purpose stock. Slightly increases stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
 
===Catalyst===
 
The [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for Arbalest has a chance to randomly drop from playlist activities ([[Strike]]s, [[Nightfall]]s, [[Gambit]] and the [[Crucible]]).
 
The catalyst requires 500 enemies to be killed using Arbalest. Once completed, it will grant an additional perk and two other bonuses:
*'''[[lightgg:3096702027|Genesis]]''' - Breaking a combatant's shield with this weapon fills its magazine from reserves. Energy weapons regenerate ammo on hit when matching the damage type to the combatant's shield.
*Increases magazine size by 1
*+20 handling
