Red Death is an exotic pulse rifle introduced in Destiny Year One. It was formerly owned by a Guardian, until its owner was killed, presumably in battle. It was then taken by a bandit, who repainted it and modified it, among other things hacking the optics and adding new graphics.[2][1] A Year Two version of Red Death is available in The Taken King.
Gameplay
Year One
In addition to being conventionally powerful, Red Death has several upgrades that provide buffs to the player, especially automatic health regeneration after every kill.[3]

- This section needs expansion. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.
Trivia
- The Red Death is constructed and reloads like an Auto Rifle yet it behaves like a Pulse Rifle and is classified as one.
