- — Weapon description
MIDA Multi-Tool is an Exotic Scout rifle obtainable in Destiny. It can be obtained by either purchasing it from Xûr, Agent of the Nine or by Primary weapon Engram drops. A Year Two version of the MIDA Multi-Tool is available in The Taken King. When Rise of Iron released, the MIDA Multi-Tool became one of the few Exotic weapons to have Ornaments, which have a chance of being dropped from a Radiant Treasure.
Overview
The MIDA Multi-Tool comes from an alternate timeline when a revolutionary group called MIDA had ruled Mars. It, along with the MIDA Mini-Tool, are the only known artifacts from this alternate timeline.
The MIDA Multi-Tool is the first of three Exotic scout rifles introduced in Destiny, the other two being the Boolean Gemini and the Touch of Malice. It is noted for its unique RoF-impact archetype, which has very few contenders.

Summary
MIDA Multi-Tool lacks strong, situational abilities like other exotics do, but it compensates for this in performing well in all situations. Characterized by strong handling traits, it is a very responsive weapon that sees a lot of use. For one, its naturally fast rate of fire, combined with high accuracy and stability, will put most foes down in a matter of seconds. Third Eye is a great awareness perk for when tracking enemy movement, allowing the player to more easily respond to and retaliate against enemy assaults, increasing your survivability. It can also help to predict and judge the distance from your target. The exotic perk gives the weapon extra utility by increasing the player's base movement speed as well as enabling it to be fired on a hair trigger, reducing the pressure needed to press that trigger. This means that one can effectively rapidly fire bullets across a corridor and lock it down, suppressing any enemy that tries to fight back. The MIDA Multi-Tool can pin down targets across any range, and as such makes it a versatile weapon with many applications.
