King’s Fall, a revered raid from the original Destiny, made its triumphant return in *Destiny 2* during *The Witch Queen* expansion. This raid is celebrated not only for its rich history but also for an enticing loot table populated with some of the game’s most coveted weapons and armor pieces.
First introduced in *The Taken King*, King’s Fall stands as the third raid in the Destiny franchise. Its initial release was marked by intense challenges that tested even the most seasoned Guardians, pushing optimal loadouts to their limits. Fast forward a decade, and while players have mastered its encounters, it continues to offer compelling reasons for players to engage with it again.
Among the most significant draws is the chance to collect unique meta weapons that cannot be obtained through any other means in the game.

Exotic Weapon – Touch of Malice
- Archetype: Kinetic Scout Rifle
- Exotic Perks: Touch of Malice, Charged with Blight
- Catalyst: Rapid Hit
The Touch of Malice is awarded as a random drop upon defeating Oryx and completing the King’s Fall raid. Players can obtain it on both Normal and Master difficulties, with a base drop rate of 5% (1 in 20), which can be enhanced through successful completion of raid challenges.
This Exotic weapon’s perks feature a unique mechanic where it inflicts additional damage by consuming the user’s health. Additionally, achieving precision kills restores health to mitigate the damage taken. A precise hit charges a powerful ball of Darkness that can be unleashed to damage and Blind nearby enemies.
The Rapid Hit catalyst further amplifies its effectiveness by boosting stability and reload speed with successive precision shots, synergizing seamlessly with the Charged with Blight perk which also relies on precision damage acquisition. To unlock this catalyst, players must navigate a series of puzzles within the King’s Fall raid.
