Graviton Lance is a [[Void]] pulse rifle. It has the ability to fire two-shot bursts. The second shot in the burst does not have damage falloff, and due to its recoil, it can be treated like a [[scout rifle]]. When an enemy is killed with Graviton Lance, they will be sent flying backwards to explode into Void energy, releasing seeking projectiles that also make enemies explode if they are killed by them. Graviton Lance was a top contender in the Crucible as of the 1.2.0 update, which introduced a significant buff to pulse rifles. Amongst the guns improved by this update were the [[Vigilance Wing]] exotic pulse rifle, which rivaled the time to kill of Graviton Lance to within hundredths of a second.

Graviton Lance was a top contender in the Crucible as of the 1.2.0 update, which introduced a significant buff to pulse rifles. Amongst the guns improved by this update were the [[Vigilance Wing]] exotic pulse rifle, which rivaled the time to kill of Graviton Lance to within hundredths of a second. Despite this time in the sun, Graviton Lance became vastly outclassed by other guns, and sat near to the bottom of the pile in effectiveness within Crucible environments. With the release of [[Season of the Deep]], Graviton Lance was given an update to promote its viability in both Player versus Environment and Player versus Player environments. With the rate of fire increased from 257 to 300, and a rebalance to the damage done by each shot in the burst, the gun returned to become a mainstay in the Crucible, necessitating a further rebalance to remove the Hidden Hand catalyst perk, reducing the aim assist applied to the gun. A further 67% damage buff was provided to it in PvE, allowing it to perform even better outside the Crucible. | ||
