— Weapon description

Quicksilver Storm is an Exotic Kinetic Auto Rifle introduced in Season of Plunder as a pre-order bonus for Lightfall. It can also be acquired from the Monument To Lost Lights.

Perks[edit]

Intrinsic Perk: Rocket Tracers
- Landing multiple hits turns your next shot into a homing micro-rocket.

Corkscrew Rifling - Balanced barrel. Slightly increases range and stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
High-Caliber Rounds - Shots from this weapon knock the target back farther. Slightly increases range.
Grenade Chaser - Landing multiple rockets loads a grenade. [Alternate Weapon Action] to switch into grenade launcher mode.
Hand-Laid Stock - This weapon is optimized for recoil control. Increases stability.

Catalyst[edit]

The Exotic Catalyst unlocks after completing the “Any Data Port in a Storm” quest on Neomuna. Once unlocked it requires 700 weapon kills to Masterwork said catalyst and unlock its hidden perk.

Nano-Entanglement:
- This weapon's damage type is changed to Strand. Kills with the grenade launcher now spawn a Tangle.

Tokki: If this doesn't work, may I have my pretty silver back? I like it better on me than in a gun.
EXO: Your accessory came from a gun. Someone in the outer system is using weaponized nanomachines. I haven't seen that.
Tokki: That shouldn't mean you can just take other people's thing.
EXO: I've seen EVERYTHING, Tokki.
POUKA: *contactCall.3*
EXO: Almost everything.
EXO: But I can't figure out from the scans how the original design propelled anything.
Tokki: Isn't why you kept that piece of the original barrel?
EXO: No. Someone spent some time etching that motto by hand. Seems respectful to keep it.
Tokki: I will never understand Guardians.
EXO: So, someone out there has a weapon I've never seen before, don't understand, and don't know how to defend against. The closest thing we've seen to this is SIVA, and these bugs are so far beyond that.

Elsie: No. We never had anything like this.

Trivia[edit]

The weapon was automatically unlocked if you pre-ordered Destiny 2: Lightfall before February 28, 2023.
The grenades fired from this weapon have no bounce and detonate on impact.
The weapon may have been crafted by the Cassoid foundry given that the emblem you unlock after obtaining it has their logo.
You can track how many shots are left until a micro-rocket is fired by looking at the continuously growing spike on the right side of the gun.
The barrel of the gun is made out of nano machines, as shown whenever you are reloading, and the gun empties itself and then refills itself.
