Destiny 2 Vex Mythoclast: Overcharge Fusion Rifle Guide
Vex Mythoclast fires full auto until Overcharge stacks build, then swaps to charged fusion shots. Here is how it drops from Vault of Glass
Vex Mythoclast is an exotic fusion rifle with two fire modes. In its default mode it fires full auto, which builds Overcharge stacks with every defeat. Once fully Overcharged, press reload to swap modes. In the alternate mode, hold the trigger to charge powerful linear fusion shots.
How to get Vex Mythoclast
Vex Mythoclast drops from the Vault of Glass raid. It can drop after the first encounter once Atheon is defeated, so a full clear gives you the shot. Vault of Glass is free to play, which makes this one of the most accessible raid exotics in the game.
How to play Vex Mythoclast
Start in full-auto mode and farm weaker enemies to build Overcharge. Swap modes when the stacks max out, then delete priority targets with charged fusion shots. The rhythm matters: swap too early and the charged shots come out weak. In PvP, the same loop lets you win close fights and punish at range.
The Vex Mythoclast catalyst
The Vex Mythoclast catalyst comes from a puzzle inside Vault of Glass. The Calculated Balance perk gives more stability at higher Overcharge stacks. After the Monument of Triumph update, the catalyst activates from sustained damage instead of precision kills. Holding the trigger is now enough to keep the loop running.
Vex Mythoclast mistakes with Overcharge stacks
- Swapping fire modes with low Overcharge stacks.
- Reloading manually and losing the Overcharge bank.
- Camping one mode. The weapon wants both.
FAQ
Is Vex Mythoclast good in PvE? Yes, especially with Solar builds that pair it with Ignition effects.
Can I farm it solo? No — raids are not matchmade, so you need a fireteam. The drop is random, so run it weekly.
Does it use special ammo? No, it sits in the primary slot.
