Bastion breaks away from the traditional Fusion Rifle formula by unleashing a devastating burst capable of staggering even the toughest opponents.
Built around aggressive close-range combat, it rewards Guardians who weave together weapon fire and melee attacks to overwhelm their enemies.
Whether you are shutting down Champions or pushing through groups of combatants, Bastion delivers a hard-hitting playstyle that feels both unique and satisfying.

Intrinsic Traits
Saint’s Fist (Unstoppable)
Bastion rapidly fires 3 spreads of pure force, and after a successful melee hit, this weapon gains increased damage, reduced charge time, and improved reload speed for a short duration.
Hitting a target with most of the pellets in a burst increases melee damage for a short duration, making this weapon effective in multiple ways.
Bastion Catalyst
Cast No Shadows
The Bastion Catalyst grants the Cast No Shadows perk, allowing melee damage to improve handling and reload a small amount of ammo from reserves.
This pairs well with Bastion’s close-range playstyle, keeping the weapon ready for follow-up shots while reducing downtime between engagements.
How To Get Bastion Catalyst?
The Catalyst for Bastion may be obtained by chance as a reward for completing either Ritual Activities or Exotic Orders.
Verdict
Bastion is an excellent choice for players who prefer to stay in the middle of the action instead of fighting from a distance.
Its combination of powerful bursts, Champion utility, and melee synergy gives it a distinct identity that sets it apart from other Exotic Fusion Rifles.
If you enjoy an aggressive playstyle that rewards getting up close, Bastion remains a reliable Exotic that can hold its own in a wide variety of PvE activities.
