Destiny 2 Tessellation Fusion Rifle guide: Pre-order guide, perks, and more

The Exotic Fusion Rifle, Tessellation, is available to anyone that pre-purchased Destiny 2 The Final Shape alongside the annual pass for Y7. Similar to the Quicksilver's Storm in Lightfall, everyone can expect Bungie to release the Tessellation's catalyst with the expansion's launch. However, the basic version of the weapon can be taken for a spin in the current sandbox.

To summarize, those who have pre-purchased The Final Shape annual pass can head to the vendor Kiosk located at the base of the Tower stairs. Players looking to pick up all the pre-purchase rewards need to look just opposite Banshee-44, where the new vendor "Terminal: Special Deliveries" is located.

The following article will list everything related to the Tessellation Fusion Rifle, part of other pre-order rewards for The Final Shape.

Upon spawning on the Courtyard, head towards Banshee, and look for the vendor on the right side at the base of the stairs. Interact and look for the "The Final Shape pre-order items" alongside Rahool's secret stash. Any pre-ordered item here will stay in your inventory forever.

Destiny 2 Tessellation Exotic perks and intrinsic traits

The Tessellation is an Exotic Fusion Rifle in the energy slot in the inventory, that can turn its element based on the user's subclass type. This will allow you to use two to three weapons with Darkness subclasses, as both Kinetic and Heavy weapons can roll with Strand and Stasis elements.

Additionally, since the Tessellation is an energy weapon, having a Strand "primary" is recommended in Strand loadouts.

• Polygonal Rifling for increased Stability.
• Projection Fuse for more Range.

Destiny 2 Tessellation usage in PvP and PvE

Based on the aforementioned perks, the Tessellation Fusion Rifle can go hand-in-hand with Grenade build across all elements. The projectile via alternate weapon action can kill multiple combatants simultaneously, granting a chunk of Grenade energy.

In terms of PvP, the Tessellation is an Adaptive Framed weapon, firing at 660 RPM Charge time. With a base damage and a range of 70 and 41, respectively, the Fusion can be great at one-shotting Guardians as well.
