"Nothing kills a Guardian faster than another Guardian." —The Drifter

― In-game description

Malfeasance is an Exotic hand cannon introduced in Destiny 2: Forsaken. It can be dismantled to generate Glimmer, Gunsmith Materials, and Legendary Shards.

Lore

This weapon has the following lore associated:

Yes, I wrote you a note. I want you to burn this in your memory. If you're wielding this gun, I've already told you all this and more. But I want you to keep it fresh in mind.

I want you to have this. You may need it. You and I have done a lot together in this system, and I hope and pray we'll get to do a lot more.

It'll be a lot safer with you wearin' one of these. It's the culmination of a lot of things. Long time ago I set out to find a replacement for a weapon called Thorn. This will never be that, but to me, it's better. We built it together.

And all of us, with this in hand? Even the Man with the Golden Gun should have pause.

Maybe we can't out-shoot him. Maybe he can't be out-shot. But if we all take our shot together? We don't have to beat him to it.

He'll die, too.

Remember this. For when the day comes.

—The Drifter

Sources

Malfeasance can be obtained by finishing its exotic quest, which requires the following:

1. . Play Gambit matches until an Ascendant Primeval spawns instead of a normal one. The round in which the ascendant primeval spawns must be won in order for it to drop The Seething Heart, which is required to continue the next steps.
2. . Once you receive The Seething Heart, return to the Drifter, where he will grant the quest step City of Secrets.
3. . Travel to the Dreaming City and defeat 25 Taken bosses or minibosses (enemies with yellow health bars).
