'''Monte Carlo''' is | '''Monte Carlo''' is a Level 40 [[Exotic]] [[Auto Rifle]]. The rifle looks different from many other [[auto rifle]]s in that the front of the weapon looks like a bayonet. Unfortunately, this is only a novelty. The rifle is in the middle-ground archetype for Rate of Fire and Impact, and has much higher Stability and reload speed than many other [[auto rifle]]s in this archetype. A Year Two version of Monte Carlo was reintroduced in ''[[The Taken King]]''. | ||
It was introduced into Destiny 2 during the Shadowkeep Expansion and Season of Undying | |||

"The math isn't the thing. The math is an inside joke. Just old solutions some say hint at the pinnacle of pre–Golden Age thought mechanics. My partner used to go on about it. About probabilities and random patterns used to solve the unsolvable. I never really paid attention. Outdated science never equaled a good payday, if you follow. Anyway, we used to run resource grabs along a coast out east. We found the rifle in the ruins of a gamblin' hall. In a vault ten feet thick. Behind glass, like it was someone's somethin' special—a real showpiece. Thought for sure we had a solid score. Funny bit was, the spot where we found it…? It was named after the math. Or, that's what my partner said. My money says the opposite, but what I know about science and history is limited to what I can sell and the sum it'll fetch. | "The math isn't the thing.
