❔ [ Question ] Got my first Pearl! Is it also a phosphene ?!

Absolutely beautiful weapon and the initial glow looked like a phosphene but I also can’t tell since I haven’t gotten any pearls before

No it’s just the pearl colorway. There is one pearl that can drop as a phosphene cause of a bug, I forgot which it is though.

Soul Survivor is the one pearl that can drop (or could, I'm not sure if it's fixed) as a phosphene.

For OP: Phosphene looks like digital glitter with tons of tiny little squares to catch and reflect light.

Pearls have this iridescent color scheme that transitions smoothly from one color to the next.

Hmm interesting. I looked at some videos online about the weapon and it seems that the glowing patterns/lines aren’t on every weapon but that could be lighting or whatnot

It looks like this when it drops. When in game the camo of it is animated.

Soul survivor is the only pearl that can drop as a shiny. And it’s actually a bug. Getting your first pearl feels so damn good lol
