| '''No Time To Explain''' is an [[Exotic]] {{icon|Kinetic}} [[Pulse Rifle]] introduced in ''[[The Taken King]]'', which ties directly to a secret hidden quest featuring the Heroic version of the [[Paradox]] mission. It is also featured in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' with the release of ''[[Beyond Light]]'', in which players who pre-ordered the expansion will receive the weapon and its [[Exotic Catalyst]] at release. It can be directly acquired after completing the main [[Story]] campaign. | | '''No Time To Explain''' is an exotic upgraded version of the [[The Stranger's Rifle]]. It is a slow-firing pulse rifle that looks very similar to the weapon given after completion of the base campaign in ''[[Destiny]]''. The signature perk on this gun means that precision shots fired from the weapon return to the magazine, allowing for near-infinite firing if used on an enemy with a large precision hitbox and the recoil can be controlled effectively.<ref name= "PD20">[http://planetdestiny.com/20-reasons-taken-king/ '''Planet Destiny''': 20+ New Reasons to be Excited for TTK]</ref> It returned in ''[[Destiny 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Beyond Light]]'' expansion. |

| ===Gameplay===
| | ==Gameplay== |
| No Time To Explain is an Exotic version of [[The Stranger's Rifle]] featured at the end of the base campaign in ''[[Destiny]]''. The gun's signature perk makes it so that precision shots return to the magazine, allowing for near-infinite firing if used on an enemy with a large precision hitbox and the recoil can be controlled effectively.<ref name= "PD20">[http://planetdestiny.com/20-reasons-taken-king/ '''Planet Destiny''': 20+ New Reasons to be Excited for TTK]</ref> It returned in ''[[Destiny 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Beyond Light]]'' expansion.
| | ===''Destiny''=== |
| | | The main perk is Rewind Again: precision shots will return to the magazine. This only counts for individual rounds in a burst that are precision hits, so tight control is needed to maximize this perk. The weapon can also fire in full auto. In another update, the intrinsic perk Headseeker is also added, in which body shots increase precision damage for a short time. |
| ====Perks====
| |
| *Intrinsic: '''Headseeker''' - Body shots with this weapon increase precision damage for a short time.
| |
| *'''Barrel'''
| |
| **'''Smooth Ballistics''': Increased recoil. Boost to range.
| |
| **'''Accurized Ballistics''': More range and impact. Increased recoil.
| |
| **'''Smart Drift Control''': Predictable and controllable recoil. Penalty to range.
| |
| *'''1st perk'''
| |
| **'''Full Auto''': This weapon can be fired in full auto mode.
| |
| *'''Stat modifiers'''
| |
| **'''Speed Reload''': Reload this weapon quickly.
| |
| **'''Hand Loaded''': This weapon is effective at an extended range.
| |
| **'''Fitted Stock''': Increases weapon stability.
| |
| *'''Exotic perk'''
| |
| **'''Rewind Again''': Precision hits are immediately returned to the magazine.

| |
| [[Novarro]]'s timeline analysis indicates the weapon is the fabled [[Exo Stranger]]'s Rifle, enhanced at a future point in this continuity and then sent back to this present.
| |
| | |
| [[Deliah]]'s timeline analysis indicates the weapon was built by [[Praedyth]], who based it on his own version of the Exo Stranger's Rifle, and then set it adrift in a time ripple.
| |
| | |
| [[Hari]]'s timeline analysis indicates the weapon was built by beings of unidentifiable origin, and arrived here by pure accident.
| |
| | |
| [[Inachis]]'s timeline analysis indicates the weapon originates from Earth, late Golden Age, and will eventually be lost to time ripples once again, where its systems will degrade and be replaced until our recent past acquires it as the Exo Stranger's Rifle.
| |
| | |
| As for me... I think it's safe to say the weapon is proving far more fun than we could have hoped.

| | |
| ==Destiny 2==
| |
| ===Gameplay===
| |
| In its ''Destiny 2'' incarnation, No Time To Explain continues to refund precision shots, but will also refund shots against enemies affected by the new [[Stasis]] element. Landing 10 precision/slowed/frozen shots produces a "personal protection portal", which behaves similarly to the Arc Souls that can be created by [[Stormcaller]] [[Warlock]]s, and can even be used simultaneously with an Arc Soul. In the quest required to obtain No Time To Explain, it is stated that the weapon was initially designed to combat Vex, although it is just as efficient against all enemies. The exotic catalyst increases the rate of fire of the portal.<ref>'''Bungie.net''': [https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/BeyondLight/Gear?ciid=48001 ''Weapons & Gear'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====Perks====
| |
| *Intrinsic: '''Rewind Again''' - Precision shots and shots against combatants slowed or frozen by Stasis will return to the magazine.
| |
| *'''[[lightgg:1840239774|Fluted Barrel]]''': Ultra-light barrel.
| |
| **Greatly increases handling speed.
| |
| **Slightly increases stability.
| |
| *'''[[lightgg:3142289711|Accurized Rounds]]''': This weapon can fire longer distances.
| |
| **Increases range.
| |
| *Exotic Trait: '''Time-Slip''' - At 10 stacks of Rewind Again, a small portal will open, shooting bullets from an alternate timeline version of this weapon. Precision hits extend the portal's duration.
| |
| *'''[[lightgg:2779035018|Feeding Frenzy]]''': Each rapid kill with this weapon progressively increases reload speed for a short time.
| |
| | |
| ====Catalyst====
| |
| The [[Exotic Catalyst]] can be acquired from a quest off of [[The Exo Stranger]] after completion of the main story campaign. After obtaining 700 kills with the weapon, the Masterworked cataylst unlocks the following perk:
| |
| *Exotic Trait: '''Blast from the Side''' - Projectiles from the time portal shoot more frequently.

| "Which window?"
| |
| | |
| "3025, Dr. Bray."

| "We had… and then a new one popped up."
| |
| | |
| "Austen-1, how is that possible?"
| |
| | |
| "We don't know. We still don't understand how any of this works. It's highly volatile and uncontro—"
| |
| | |
| "Have we pinpointed the weapon's exact location?"
| |
| | |
| "…More or less. Elsie-1 is supposed to attempt retrieval tonight."
| |
| | |
| "We can't risk the window closing before then. I'll be going this time."
| |
| | |
| "But last time, those things in the sky almost killed you."
| |
| | |
| "And now I know how they work. That's half the battle."
| |
| | |
| The old man gears up and enters a strange metallic pod made from Vex parts. Austen-1 stands at a distance from the pod, typing "April 10, 3025" into a console.
| |
| | |
| "All right, Dr. Bray. You're a go in 3… 2… 1…"
| |
| | |
| A burst of light.
| |
| | |
| An icy wasteland. What stood pristine moments prior is now dark, old, and falling apart, as if centuries have passed.
| |
| | |
| Clovis wades through the wreckage and comes to a frozen, deserted battlefield littered with human, [[Exo]], [[Vex]], and [[Fallen|alien]] bodies. He reaches down and brushes snow from one of the alien bodies, lifting one of its many arms.
| |
| | |
| "Fascinating…"
| |
| | |
| A piercing whir emanates from somewhere in the distance—Clovis looks up and sees a black and red ship floating in the air. It stops above the battlefield and emits a bright red light, scanning the area as if searching for something.
| |
| | |
| Clovis slowly pulls a device from his pocket. He presses a green button, and the screen lights up, showing a blinking dot a few yards away. Very close to where the ship itself now searches.
| |
| | |
| He grabs a dead Exo and opens a panel on its arm, tinkering before closing it with care. He quickly sneaks away, and in seconds, the Exo explodes, drawing the attention of the ship. He sprints across the battlefield towards where it was searching only moments ago.
| |
| | |
| Using his device again, Clovis scans the ground until the blinking light goes solid. He digs into the snow until he hits something. He pulls it up halfway—a rifle, shining like new, etched only with one word: Now.
| |
| | |
| Clovis attempts to fully free the weapon. But it's stuck; attached to something. He pulls harder, revealing an entire dead Exo, hand wrapped tightly around the grip. He takes a good look at its face and gasps.
| |
| | |
| "Elisabeth…?"
| |
| | |
| The whirring sound reaches Clovis's ears again, pulling him out of his stupor. The ship heads right towards him. Clovis pries the gun from Elsie's rigid hand and sprints back the way he came, diving into his pod and activating it just as the ship fires on him.
| |
| | |
| A burst of light.
| |
| | |
| "You could have been killed," says a [[The Exo Stranger|familiar voice]].
| |
| | |
| "Instead, I got you a gift, Elisabeth," Clovis responds, catching his breath and dusting himself off.
| |
| | |
| "One down, an infinite number left to go. It better have been worth it." He looks into her eyes and musters a half-hearted smile.
| |
| | |
| "We'll make it so."

| |
|
| |
| *This gun references the Exo Stranger's dialogue towards [[The Guardian]] in their first interaction with her where she says, "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.", which quickly became memetic within the community.
