An all-new season of content, challenges, quests, and gear has arrived for all Destiny 2 players a week before the much anticipated Black Armory DLC which is set to arrive next Tuesday, December 4th. We’ve got new weapons to grind for, new cosmetics, sparrows, and emotes to try and unlock and a whole load of Black Armory news to go through so let’s not waste any more time and break down exactly what we know.
Pinnacle Weapons
In previous seasons the Crucible was the only activity to have legendary quest weapons to grind for and these were easily some of the most challenging weapons to get your hands on but easily some of the most powerful. All you PVP Guardians out there need not worry however because the Crucible hasn’t lost their weapon this season with an all-new Kinetic Grenade Launcher know as The Mountain Top arriving this season. this weapon, similar to previous weapons will require many, may ours of Competitive play as well as various grenade launcher related quest steps to be completed before unlocking. On top of that the Vanguard and even Gambit now also have their own pinnacle weapons to grind for with The Loaded Question fusion rifle for the vanguard and The Breakneck auto rifle for all you gambit players. From personal experience, these two weapons seem much easier to obtain than last seasons or even this seasons crucible counterpart only having very simple quest steps such as arc kills or strike completions. Nothing too hard and something everyone should be able to get their hands on. As for The Mountain Top, I still need the good old Lubas Howl and Redrix’s Broadsword and Grenade Launchers aren’t really my thing so I’ll be giving it a pass. All 3 weapons can be seen below.
Pay to…look good?
Despite all of Destiny 2’s problems, its micro-transaction system is something I’ve always admired. Almost purely cosmetic items that can be gained from regular gameplay anyway if you’d rather invest time over money. This season has brought some of the best sparrows and emotes I’ve ever seen with the Burnout sparrow and Nothing is Wrong emotes being my favorite. We’ve also got some new exotic ornaments for some year 1 exotics with hopefully some tournaments arriving for DLC exotics soon.
Black Armory
Now let’s get onto what we’re all really here for. That juicy Balck Armory gossip and with have quite a bit to go through. I’ll leave a full image for the road map below but for the most part, we have what we’d expect such as a power increase, most likely to 650 based of new exotic stats, as well as new vanity items, and an all-new exotic quest which is more than likely going to be rewarding fan favorite hand cannon and returning Destiny 1 exotic The Last Word. We’ll also be getting a brand new raid, rather than raid lair, which I am super hyped for which will launch December 7th, 3 days after the initial DLC launch and will be set in the last City. We’ll also be getting a brand new vendor with all new bounties, a brand new activity called “Forges” which will release throughout the month, new enemy variants, materials and of course weapons and armor.
Speaking of those new weapons lets check out the 3 brand new DLC exotics that Bungie revealed earlier yesterday.
We have the Anarchy exotic grenade launcher which is the only grenade launcher I have ever actually wanted to get.
We have the exotic sniper Izanagi’s Burden which will be one shot body shot in the crucible. Very Interesting.
Finally, we have the exotic bow Le Monarque which I’ll be honest Im not too excited for because I’m not a huge archer but it’s nice to get some more variety for the bows. Exotic armor hasn’t been released yet but there will be plenty to grind for in the DLC.
Below is the roadmap for Destiny 2 showing exactly what new content will be arriving and when.
I’m super hyped for the Black Armoury DLC but I’m also pleasantly surprised to see so much content arriving with the new season which anyone can play through and grind for.
