Destiny 2 Jade Rabbit: How to Get the Exotic Scout Rifle

Jade Rabbit is an exotic scout rifle in Destiny 2 that fires full-auto. Most scouts make you tap the trigger between shots, but this one holds the line for you. That single difference changes how you aim. Instead of timing shots, you track the target and let the weapon do the rest.

How Jade Rabbit works

Its intrinsic trait makes the weapon full-auto, which is rare for a scout rifle. The exotic perk rewards consistent fire with a damage bonus, so tracking matters more than snap aim. In practice, it performs best at mid range against single targets. Red-bar enemies drop quickly, and tougher foes take steady, predictable damage.

That consistency makes it a good pick while you are still learning a new activity. It is not the strongest exotic in the game, but it is one of the easiest to pick up.

How to get Jade Rabbit

There is no quest chain for Jade Rabbit. It sits in the random exotic pool, so you obtain it through engrams and world drops. The most dependable route is Xur, the Agent of the Nine. He appears in a new location each week with a small, random set of exotics.

Buy an exotic engram from him and hope the right one comes out. The weapon can also drop from exotic engrams earned in playlists and from world activities. Once you have unlocked it, you can usually pull another copy from the Collections tab for a material cost. Our Xur guide explains how his weekly rotation works.

Is it worth using?

Jade Rabbit is a comfort pick more than a damage monster. Full-auto scouts are forgiving, which helps when you are learning new content. If your build can stack weapon damage buffs, it scales fine into endgame activities.

Veterans mostly keep it for casual play and patrol farming. Players who want maximum boss damage should look elsewhere. Pair it with a primary that covers close range, since the full-auto frame struggles inside shotgun distance.

The Jade Rabbit catalyst

Jade Rabbit has a catalyst you unlock through tracked objectives. Progress only counts while the weapon is equipped. The exact objectives change over time, so read the in-game list. Our catalysts guide walks through how that system works.
