― In-game description
Monte Carlo is an exoticauto rifle. In Year 1, it was a PlayStation timed exclusive that could be obtained from Strikes, engrams, loot chests in Raids, or as a random completion reward for PlayStation users. It became available to Xbox users with the release of The Taken King.[1] It can currently still be obtained as a random drop from Year 1 activities and legacy engrams.
This item can drop as a Strike reward. Exotic items can only drop from the most challenging Strike playlist.

Trivia[]
Monte Carlo is one of three known weapons to feature a bayonet. The others are Touch of Malice, Red Death and Plan C.
The gun is hand-crafted with a sleek look that masks "the cruel reality of its function," which is, "the efficient elegant delivery of war against any who would tarnish its legacy."[2][3]
