Now that the meta has begun to settle on Destiny 2 following The Edge of Fate‘s release, one Legendary weapon is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
True to its name, Outrageous Fortune, a new Solar-element Heavy Grenade Launcher obtainable from Pinnacle Ops activities, has an unbelievable pool of perks, making it a must-have for all your boss DPS needs.
Think of this heavy-duty boomstick as Solar’s answer to VS Chill Inhibitor. For the very same reasons that the latter, obtained from Vesper’s Host, became a mainstay in many loadouts during Episode’s Revenant and Heresy, Outrageous Fortune has an all-important perk combo that single-handedly sends it to the top of the meta.

Not only does this eliminate the need to deal with sluggish reloads often associated with GLs, but ratchets up damage by a whopping 30% for 10 seconds. Augment this further with single-target-focused perks like Spike Grenades, and you’re all set.
With Solar being a big focus in Edge of Fate, Outrageous Fortune also benefits from several artefact mods, to boot.
You’re all set to begin your targeted farm, but before you roll out, be sure to check out the god roll for another of Edge of Fate’s extremely potent Pinnacle-exclusive weapons, Mint Retrograde.
