Truth is an exotic Rocket Launcher introduced in Year One of Destiny. A Year Two version of Truth became available in The Taken King, and the release of Rise of Iron gave Truth two exotic Ornaments that have a chance of dropping from Radiant Treasures and Treasures of the Dawning. Truth returned in Destiny 2 during the Season of Opulence with a three-rocket magazine, initially having only one exotic ornament that can be purchased at Eververse.

Gameplay

Rockets fired from Truth will seek out enemy targets very aggressively, and have proximity detonation, ensuring that the rockets will rarely miss the target. Compared to other exotic rocket launchers though, the extreme tracking is the only thing special about it, and it doesn't have much other properties that help it stand out from just about any legendary-tier rocket launchers, which especially hinders its overall performance in PVE environments.

Lore

...is where you seek it. —Lomar

Smoke winds away from the battlefield in wavering scarves.

Corsairs and Crows move through the wreckage in pairs, searching for their dead. When they find Awoken survivors, they call for help. When they find a Devil or a Wolf, they call for a field medic and prison-grade restraints.

A Vandal watches all of this from the wing of a Galliot with his four arms folded around his knees. He knows battle, and so death does not disturb him. He was born of war, made for it, shaped by it. And yet, as he stares out at the charred bodies of his cousins, at the bent bodies of his new allies…

"Vel," Sjur says, startling him. He peers down to find her on tiptoes, chin on the edge of the Galliot's wing. She juts her thumb over her shoulder, indicating the battlefield. "Npariimoqilum?"

He frowns. "Res kaqilum? Psekisk."

She frowns back at him, and though she only has two eyes, her stare is mother-strong.

The Vandal sighs and lets go of his knees. "Variisis," he grumbles as he slides off the Galliot, skulking past her.

"Ha, ha," she replies, humorless.

He picks his way down to the worst of it and joins the search. Over the next hour, he finds a Wolf that he half-remembers from a distant relative's coming-of-age ceremony; three Devils who look at him with uncomprehending confusion and anger; and one Crow irretrievably trapped beneath the fuselage of his ship.

He is about to abandon a ruined Devils skiff when he hears a faint hiss from inside a ventilation shaft. He clambers up to peer into its grate and sees four wary eyes shining back at him.

A hatchling, still soft and translucent with its egg-molt.

Carefully, he pries the grate open and beckons to her. "Velask, kelekh," he murmurs. "Nankemrak."

She crawls into his palm and his heart surges.

Trivia

• The Grenades and Horseshoes perk is a reference to the idiom "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."
