What Refurbished A499 Is

The item is Legendary / Power / Sniper Rifle. Flavor text: “Get to higher ground.” Intrinsic: Disruption Weapon [Shield-Piercing]. It fires a single heavy-hitting round. Targets disintegrate on impact. It is strong against Barrier Champions.

Stats on that item: Impact 100, Range 71, Stability 27, Handling 25, Reload Speed 11, reload time 3.84s, 72 RPM, magazine 1, airborne effectiveness 90. Origin trait: Air-Cooled Core.

It is the legendary Heavy sniper of this archetype. A magazine of 1 means every miss costs a full reload. The 3.84s reload is the whole tempo of the gun. Swap-DPS wants Handling so the next weapon comes up faster. Hold-fire wants Reload so the next 72 RPM shot lands sooner.

Bungie has not published a damage-per-shot number on the item page. Ask LFCarry if you want a swap-DPS setup or a hold-fire setup. Free, about 30s.

The Power slot is the Heavy slot. This is the Barrier sniper you bring when the activity still asks for Shield-Piercing on a Heavy frame. The 72 RPM pace is slow on purpose. Each round is the Impact 100 hit.

How to Get It (3 Farms, Same Neighbourhood)

3 farms sit in the same neighbourhood.

The gun drops from the Renegades campaign and throughout Renegades activities. It also comes from the Fallen faction in the Lawless Frontier at Rank 2.

Lawless Frontier Gear vendors also sell it, including Spider subvendors on that destination. The vendor list on the item is almost entirely Lawless Frontier Gear engrams. An alternate-version line on the item reads S28. Renegades / Lawless.

Bungie Help lists The Lawless Frontier as a live destination after Update 9.7.0 on 9 June 2026. Monument of Triumph stays in the game with no end date.

Bungie has not published a drop-rate percentage. Rank 2 is the reputation gate on the Fallen side. The campaign drop is the 1st copy most players see. Activities and vendors are the repeats. Bring a Fireteam if the Lawless playlist is slow.

Perk Columns and the Equipped Combo

The random-roll columns are:

  • Perk 1: No Distractions, Moving Target, Lone Wolf, Snapshot Sights, Outlaw, Gutshot Straight, Bewildering Burst.
  • Perk 2: Ambitious Assassin, Auto-Loading Holster, Aggregate Charge, Box Breathing, Ancillary Ordinance, Mulligan, Envious Assassin.

Equipped share is a count of copies. A DPS sim is a different measure.

The most popular combo is Snapshot Sights + Aggregate Charge at 17.08% of rolls. That matches the PvE rec.

PvP rec: Fluted Barrel, Steady Rounds, Snapshot Sights or Lone Wolf, Mulligan, Handling masterwork. Community letters on that gun read S-tier PvE and B-tier PvP. Those letters stay on their page.

Where the Columns Split

Magazine: the PvE rec wants Flared Magwell. Equipped share still leads on Flared Magwell at 36.0%, then Accurized Rounds at 30.8%. A Season 29 review prefers Steady Rounds for airborne effectiveness. All 3 stay on the table. This page does not pick a winner.

Masterwork: swap-DPS wants Handling. Hold-fire wants Reload. Equipped share leads on Reload Speed (28.5%), then Range 24.1% and Handling 23.9%. If you swap, take Handling. If you hold the trigger, Reload is the equipped majority and the hold-fire note.

Season tag: 1 listing prints S28 Renegades / Lawless. The review filter on the same item includes Season 29. Monument of Triumph is the live season name. Those stay as 3 tags.
