To start the quest involving the Exotic Pulse Rifle, you must complete week 3's seasonal quest episode by unlocking a Seraph Chest in Heist Battlegrounds. Once completed, Exo Stranger will grant the Exotic quest, A Hidden Shape, which requires launching the 'Operation Seraph Shield' mission via HELM.

Upon defeating the final boss, Praksis, the Technocrat, you will get the weapon to drop with the red border. You must defeat 40 combatants using this weapon to unlock the pattern and craft it on the Enclave.

How to use the Revision Zero Exotic Pulse Rifle

To start, you should note that Revision Zero has two firing modes, all of which are strong against Barrier Champions. So, whether you want to deplete shields slowly using burst fire, or at once with the alternate mode, you can choose to do both. However, there are certain conditions behind switching the weapon's firing modes.

Upon landing precision hits on enemies in the burst fire mode, you will see a slight buff on the left side of your screen that says 'Targeting Data.' Accumulating enough of this 'data' will allow you to hold your Reload button and switch to Sniper mode, dealing increased damage with a single shot.

Landing a single one of these powerful shots on a Barrier Champion can stun them in high-tier activities. The weapon also lets you switch between a Lightweight four-burst or a Heavyweight two-burst mode, allowing you to use suitable archetypes for PvP and PvE battles.
