The Queenbreaker Intrinsic Traits
Wire Rifle
Holding the “Reload Key/Button” allows you to swap between Marksman Sights and Combat Sights (Scopes) to alter the zoom and firing mode of The Queenbreaker.
Marksman Sights allow The Queenbreaker to fire single bolts that are effective at long-range (and closer ranges) that deal a high amount of damage and chains to nearby enemies.
Combat Sights reduce the zoom of The Queenbreaker and cause its firing mode to be switched to burst shots that are effective and close to medium range.
How to Get The Queenbreaker Catalyst?
When The Queenbreaker’s magazine has been emptied, it will be refilled from resources based on the number of hits from its previous magazine.
This allows you to continuously fire with The Queenbreaker, making it more rewarding depending on how many targets you have hit.
The Queenbreaker Catalyst can be obtained as a drop from completing activities such as Vanguard Strikes, Gambit and Crucible Matches. (Crucible Matches have a good chance to drop it)
Verdict
The Queenbreaker’s ability to change firing modes makes it a versatile weapon to have in a fight and since both firing modes can reach the same amount of damage, either way works.
Using Marksman Sights is perfect for when you want to keep your distance from enemies while Combat Sights can be helpful when you are jumping into a fight and firing from the hip.
Overall, thanks to its Catalyst, The Queenbreaker can be fired several times before having to reload and this can help when it comes to sustained damage.
