{{Quote|Some things should stay buried.|Weapon description}}
'''The Prospector''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Arc]] [[Grenade Launcher]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.

==Gameplay==
Fires grenades that can be timed (through holding firing button) to detonate simultaneously. 

==Perks==
*'''[[lightgg:2977709078|Excavation]]:''' [Shoot] : Fire grenades. Release to detonate all live grenades simultaneously. Grenades stick to surfaces and set targets on fire.
*'''[[lightgg:1478423395|Volatile Launch]]:''' This weapon is optimized for an especially explosive payload. Greatly increases blast radius. Slightly decreases handling speed. Slightly decreases projectile speed.
*'''[[lightgg:1771897777|Augmented Drum]]:''' Heavy, high capacity drum. Greatly increases magazine size. Greatly decreases reload speed.
*'''[[lightgg:4267945040|Full Auto Trigger System]]:''' Holding down the trigger will fire this weapon at full auto.
*'''[[lightgg:990298390|Hand-Laid Stock]]:''' This weapon is optimized for recoil control. Increases stability.

===Catalyst===

The [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for The Prospector has a chance to drop from challenging enemies in [[Strike]]s once the weapon has been acquired.

The catalyst, once completed, will grant an additional perk:
*Deeper Pockets: Increased ammo reserves.

==Lore==
'''"SOME THINGS SHOULD STAY BURIED."'''

"Get your axe and your pick and your shovel and your spine. We're goin' prospectin'."<br/>
"What?"<br/>
"That. The quote. I don't get it."<br/>
"It's an old saying. It's about puttin' in a hard day's work."<br/>
"Seems... antiquated."<br/>
"How so?"<br/>
"My grenade launcher's full auto and goes boom on command. What do I need hand tools for?"<br/>
"It's a metaphor. It ain't literal. At least not anymore. Your launcher is your hand tool."<br/>
"Ahh. Got it. Good to know."

==Trivia==
*The Comstock Lode ornament's name is likely a reference to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comstock_Lode Comstock Lode], a large deposit of silver ore located in the state of Nevada first discovered around 1859.
*The Prospector was once rated one of the least used exotics in ''Destiny 2'', but with the arrival of the [[Leviathan (raid)|Leviathan]] [[raid]], it was found that it was the only way to destroy the [[Watcher]]s in the Leviathan underbelly without triggering the alarm sequence while playing solo.
