There’s a lot of great and powerful weapons to choose from in Destiny 2, and the best you can possibly get are the Exotic Weapons. If you’re after a great long-range sniper rifle, for instance, you can’t do much better in the game than the Destiny 2 D.A.R.C.I. rifle. But what is this acronym-tastic weapon? Where can you get it?

What is the Destiny 2 D.A.R.C.I. Rifle?
The Destiny 2 D.A.R.C.I. is an exotic sniper rifle, a power weapon by design. It’s rated at 650 Power, and it has a number of superb perks. Its intrinsic perk is “Personal Assistant,” which shows you health and other important information about enemies when you aim at them. “Target Acquired” adds better target acquisition and deals more precision damage when using Personal Assistant.
