The Khvostov 7G-0X is an Exotic Auto Rifle that was added with the release of The Final Shape, which attracted several Guardians who favor the use of Auto Rifles in battle.
This weapon provides a decent amount of damage and features an Intrinsic Trait called The Right Choice, which causes its bullets to ricochet after a certain amount of shots are fired.
Making this weapon even more deadly, Guardians who can spawn multiple Orbs of Power can boost this weapon’s ability to deal more damage and even hit more enemies.
“You don’t know how long I’ve been looking for you.”
How To Get Khvostov 7G-0X?
Obtaining the Khvostov 7G-0X can be quite the process but in the end, you get a decent Auto Rifle that can be handy as a main weapon if it suits your play style.
To get Khvostov 7G-0X, you will first need to obtain its Legendary variant, the Khvostov 7G-02, which is obtained after you open a chest within the wall in The Impasse.
To open the chest though, you will first need to get the Lost Encryption Code as this is required to unlock the chest.
Once you have obtained the Khvostov 7G-02, you will now need to get the Mote of Primordial Light that needs to be brought to the Speaker’s Chamber in the Last City in the Pale Heart.
Upon reaching the Speaker’s Chamber, you will need to place the Visions of the Traveler (you will have these already if you have the Mote of Primordial Light) and place them.
After all of the Visions of the Traveler have been placed at the Speaker’s Chamber, a chest will spawn and it may be opened to obtain the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic Auto Rifle.

Verdict
