Exuviae is the second-best Aggressive Framed Hand Cannon in Destiny 2. That is saying a lot, considering the amount of competition it has within the archetype. While it gets beaten by the stat distribution of the all-time great Igneous Hammer, this weapon beats any other 120 RPM Hand Cannon in the game, especially when it comes to Range, Handling, and Reload Speed.

Players are recommended to pursue Exuviae for both PvE and PvP, as there are some great perk combinations to synergy with different builds and the power to shut down Guardians from a decent range.

This article lists the best perks of this new Stasis Hand Cannon.
