— Weapon description

The Prospector is an Exotic Arc Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2.[1]

Gameplay

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

Perks

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

Catalyst

The catalyst for The Prospector has a chance to drop from challenging enemies in Strikes 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'."
"What?"
"That. The quote. I don't get it."
"It's an old saying. It's about puttin' in a hard day's work."
"Seems... antiquated."
"How so?"
"My grenade launcher's full auto and goes boom on command. What do I need hand tools for?"
"It's a metaphor. It ain't literal. At least not anymore. Your launcher is your hand tool."
"Ahh. Got it. Good to know."

Trivia

  • The Comstock Lode ornament's name is likely a reference to the the real life 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, it was found that it was the only way to destroy the Watchers in the Leviathan underbelly without triggering the alarm sequence while playing solo.
