Outbreak Prime is an Exotic 
Pulse Rifle introduced in Rise of Iron. It is acquired by completing the quest "Channeling the Corruption", available only by completing a puzzle within the Wrath of the Machine Raid.
It would be reissued in Destiny 2 as Outbreak Perfected and could be acquired from completing the "Zero Hour" Exotic Mission. After the mission was initially sunset in Beyond Light, it was obtainable via the Monument to Lost Lights. After the Into the Light update, this weapon was reprised with guaranteed Deepsight Resonance; making this exotic craftable.

Grimoire
- "This is an advanced Golden Age technology tied to the death of some of the Light's greatest champions. It's currently being used as a tool of the Fallen to push the limits of bio-evolutionary realities. And you’re kit-bashing it together with projectile-based war systems to make a handheld mechanism that delivers aggressive nano-mites?"

Gameplay
Outbreak Perfected is the third Exotic Pulse Rifle introduced into Destiny 2, the first two being Vigilance Wing and Graviton Lance. Much like its previous incarnation, it has the potential to be a highly versatile multipurpose weapon in the hands of a player with good aim. In PVE, the weapon can clear groups of enemies with relative ease, and can deal considerable damage to boss enemies once enough nanites attach to them, especially in a full fireteam of Outbreak Perfected users.
In PVP, the gun, as of The Witch Queen, falls into a pulse rifle archetype that finds it hard to compete with the likes of other pulses, legendary or exotic. The nanite swarms produced by the weapons traits can be useful to tarry other players, though securing them in the first place can be a difficult task.

Catalyst
The Exotic Catalyst for Outbreak Perfected was initially obtained through the Zero Hour mission on Heroic difficulty, with subsequent clears progressing the catalyst. Since the release of Beyond Light, the catalyst became a playlist activity reward until the reintroduction of Zero Hour in Into the Light, which will now drop on first clear of the exotic mission's Legend-difficulty variant (on-par with Heroic Zero Hour).
Once obtained, players need to perform 500 kills with the weapon to unlock the catalyst perk:
- Exotic Trait: Disease Vector - Increases nanite damage. Enemies that die with nanites attached to them generate additional nanites.
