PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The touch of malice is a weapon that you acquire from a big quest line. It is given to you by eris morn. the exotic perk makes it so the last shot of the magazine is infinite, at the expense of some of the holder's health. it is very effective against oryx, because of the aura of immortality.
Thorn was a year one exotic that allowed the last shot in the magazine to do extra damage, but the exotic perk made bullets pierce targets on impact, and poison them. The poison would do 7 damage every 0.5 seconds, 5 times, making it a 2 shot head-shot(after lingering damage for a short time).
Finally. I grinded all day and night, and i finally got the sleeper simulant! wait- what?!? this is not a year 2 gjallahorn... this, this is horrible!
That was the reaction of many people when they got their sleeper simulants. Bungie said that this was an amazing exotic, but it doesn't do nearly as much as our old friend, gjallahorn. The main perk allows the bolt of energy to over penetrate and bounce off walls 5 times.
