Destiny 2's new Exotic hand cannon Lumina heals allies

Bungie has released a teaser for the next Exotic weapon coming to Destiny 2 during the Season of Opulence, the quest for which will begin tomorrow. Intriguingly, Lumina is the first hand cannon in the game which you're meant to shoot your teammates with.

From the same datamine, we learned that kills with the Lumina will leave behind a Remnant that, when absorbed, "converts your next hip-fired shot into an ally-seeking Noble Round and partially refills the magazine." The trailer above confirms that Lumina's Exotic perk is called Noble Rounds, ethereal glowing balls that seek your allies to heal and buff them.
