Burning Eye is an Exotic Scout rifle first made obtainable in Destiny Year 3. It can be obtained by either achieving Gold Tier in the Trials of Osiris, or going flawless (9-0) and receiving the adept version of it from the crate in the Lighthouse on Mercury. The adept version of this weapon, as with all adept weapons, has the intrinsic perk Snapshot, which allows the wielder to aim down the sights quicker.
Overview
The Burning Eye is one of four Exotic scout rifles introduced in Destiny, the other three being the MIDA Multi-Tool, Boolean Gemini and the Touch of Malice.

Summary
The Burning eye is a very solid scout rifle, with very high base stability causing it to maintain a very steady rate of fire even while being shot at. The weapon's sights are holographic, and they highlight enemies through distractions such as a Hunter's Smoke, grenades, among other things. While not the most speedy or powerful Scout Rifle in the game, the Burning Eye makes up for it in terms of consistency and handling.
