Backstory: Towards the end of the Golden Age, a small group of college students - united by their infatuation with personal weaponry and their frustration regarding the perceived lack of development in the field - formed an unsanctioned research and development group which they dubbed "The Ruiners Club". The group was active up until just before its third anniversary, when the unexplained death of one of its members prompted them to destroy all of their research and dissolve the club. This weapon is the sole surviving example of their accomplishments.

In spite of the fact that it appears to have been designed for ease of maintenance, the weapon has proven to be impossible to disassemble, suggesting that it was modified in order to eliminate the possibility of it being reverse-engineered. This disturbing possibility could imply that the technology powering this device proved so destructive, its creators felt the need to seal it away to prevent future replication... Or that they simply did not want anyone else taking credit for their design.

Passive Perk: Accumulator Cells. This weapon regenerates ammunition directly to the magazine when not in use.

First Column Perks: Close Range Targeting System(Increased hipfire accuracy), Long Range Targeting System(50% increased zoom when crouched), Threat Analysis Targeting System(Highlights majors, guardians with charged supers, and weakened enemies in yellow). (Note: Enemies are highlighted in red, regardless of the perk selected.)

Main Perk: Optimal Enviroment. Increased range, stability, and reload speed when using a Void subclass.

Second Column Perks: Shoot to Loot, Zen Moment, Explosive Rounds(Flame effect is replaced with a void effect.)

Exotic Perk: Molecular Destabilization. Enemies killed briefly radiate damaging void light from their corpses. (The effect lasts for about 2-3 seconds, and causes the same amount of damage as a voidwalker's vortex grenade.)
