How to Get Touch of Malice Exotic Scout Rifle & Catalyst in Destiny 2
It’s that time of year again, whereas a new raid is launched in Destiny 2. By the time this article is out, the World’s First Race for the King’s Fall raid and thus contest mode will have concluded. As is the case with every raid thus far (including the similar reprised version of Vault of Glass last year), a bunch of new stuff has been unlocked for the entireDestinycommunity. Most relevant here, however, is the release of theTouch of MaliceExotic scout rifle. A gun that is just as synonymous as the iconicTaken Kingraid itself. Unfortunately – the gun is a random RNG drop, so it’s all up to mathematical chance.So, here is how to get the Touch of Malice in Destiny 2.
How to Get the Touch of Malice Exotic Scout Rifle in Destiny 2
First things first, you need to find a fireteam of six guardians. Whether it be through the official Destiny app, Discord, social media platform of your choosing, whatever. Usually the Destiny community is very good about helping out those in need, especially regarding raiding. Go to orbit and await your fireteam.
Open the director, go to destinations tab, and click Legends (in top right corner). Click the King’s Fall Raid and launch.
Upon finishing the raid, a final chest will appear. If you are lucky enough, there will be a golden engram on the ground holding the Touch of Malice Exotic scout rifle.
Aside from the actual acquisition of theTouch of Maliceitself, the perks withinDestiny 2have also been switched up. The main perk is still the same: kills regenerate the final magazine as well as increase additional damage, but at the expense of lowering the Guardian’s health. But, this time the health can be restored by rapidly defeating three targets. Furthermore, it is equipped with the “Charged With Blight” trait which aside from draining their own life charges up an actual Blight projectile. This then can be fired at combatants shrouding them in darkness and temporarily blinding them.
As is often the case with many Exotics, theTouch of Malicedoes indeed have a catalyst, and grants the Rapid Hit perk to the gun. However, as was the case withVex Mythoclast, the catalyst itself is not a random drop plus unlocking it requires both coordination and teamwork. So,let’s talk about how to get the catalyst for the TowwM, which has to do with a rather silly easter egg fromDestiny 1.
How to Get the Touch of Malice Catalyst
That’s how you get Touch of Malice, and its associated catalyst. In terms of completing it, you will need 700 kills. So therefore, your best bet is probably hopping into the Grasp of Avarice dungeon (included in the30th Anniversary Pack) or the infamous Shuro-Chi checkpoint in theLast Wishraid. Regardless, be sure to check out our other Destiny-related guides, whether it’s beating theKings Fallraid orgrabbing the limited-time Fortnite crossover cosmetics.
