The weapon features theProtective Weave Intrinsic Trait, which, when shot at a teammate, gives both thewielderand anallytheWoven Mail buff. This makes The Navigator perfect for almost every group activity, whether it’s a Raid, Crucible, or Vanguard because the buff grants60% Damage Resistance for 10 seconds.
