Devil’s Ruin is an Exotic Sidearm that blends rapid-fire precision with a powerful charged Solar beam, giving it far more versatility than a typical sidearm.
Its unique firing mechanic allows you to adapt on the fly, switching between consistent primary weapon damage and a devastating laser capable of staggering powerful foes.
Combined with strong Solar synergy and built-in Anti-Unstoppable functionality, Devil’s Ruin remains a valuable Exotic for both everyday PvE and endgame content.

Intrinsic Traits
Close The Gap (Unstoppable)
Final blows create Firesprites, and after picking one up, you can press the reload button to activate a high-powered Solar laser beam mode.
The charged laser deals heavy Solar damage and is strong against Unstoppable Champions, making Devil’s Ruin an excellent choice for both ad clear and taking down tougher enemies.
