- — Weapon description
Apex Predator is a Legendary Solar Rocket Launcher that can be acquired from the Last Wish raid. With the addition of power level caps in Season of Arrivals, like all other gear from Last Wish it was originally to be sunset in the expansion Beyond Light, but has since been given an additional year before being sunset.
Lore
The massive Vex construct that was the Ahamkara towered over them, and Taeko-3 tried not to be bored. Being bored might lead to idle wishes, and that would be bad right now. She thought again about the name she'd squinted at on the porcelain chit when she'd drawn lots back at the Tower. Two-name Guardians always struck her as a little pretentious.
"Gallida?" The Warlock didn't look up from the drawing she was making; she just held up a finger. "The rear ventral plate, please?" Graciously, the construct shifted its superstructure and allowed the researcher a detailed look at the thing's internal workings. "And… there." The Warlock turned toward Taeko. "You may proceed."
"Finally." As Gallida ran clear, and the beast warbled a Vex war cry, Taeko hefted the massive launcher up over her shoulder and sighted down the line. "Girl's gotta eat!"
