Bungie’s Destiny 2 received its latest massive content update, Into the Light, adding Onslaught and a revamped Exotic mission for Whisper of the Worm. There’s more to come, with the raid bosses gauntlet Pantheon going live on April 30th. In the latest “This Week at Destiny,” Bungie confirmed that it includes raid bosses currently in the game, but there are a “few twists on how to approach them.”
Destiny 2 Reveals 12 Classic Weapons Returning for Into The Light
27.03.2024 - 06:05 / gamerant.com / Josh Tolentino / Sony
Bungie has revealed more about its upcoming Destiny 2 limited-time event, Into the Light, showing off a series of classic weapons returning to the game. The weapons will be available after Into the Light launches in Destiny 2 on April 9, 2024.
Bungie has changed Destiny 2 and its service model in various ways since its original launch in 2017, and the arrival of The Final Shape expansion will herald a new overhaul to the way Bungie delivers new Destiny 2 content to players. Before that, though, Bungie plans for Into the Light to help tide players over until The Final Shape launches. It also helps that Into the Light is free for all Destiny 2 players, taking any potential sting out of the perception that it's a «stopgap» measure intended to account for The Final Shape's delay.
In the second of three planned Into the Light promotional livestreams, Bungie revealed more about the rewards players will be able to gather as they play Destiny 2 Into the Light and Onslaught. Onslaught is a new Destiny 2 game mode focused on combating progressive waves of enemies, and places players in the role of Guardians defending the Last City from the forces of the Witness. Some of the most exciting rewards from playing Into the Light are updated versions of some classic Destiny 2 and original Destiny weapons.
During the livestream, Bungie said that the weapons returning with Into the Light are effectively a «greatest hits» list of weapons from Destiny 2 raids, pinnacle pursuits, and other activities. Some of the weapons, like the Midnight Coup handcannon, were exclusive to raids no longer actively in the game, like Leviathan. Others, like the Mountaintop grenade launcher and Recluse submachine gun, were so dominant in PVP that they were «sunset» to help preserve game balance. Into the Light will also add armor sets based on the classic Destiny 2 armor sets from the launch era.
The weapons returning for Destiny 2 Into the Light aren't strictly the same as their original incarnations, but are reissues with new perk pools and even rare «Limited Edition» versions that drop with new looks and extra perks. So, strictly speaking, the Into the Light Mountaintop probably won't be as dominant as the original Destiny 2 Mountaintop.
While Destiny 2 Into the Light is a way for Bungie to keep players interested in the game while they wait for The Final Shape to launch, Bungie is making it quite appealing to veterans, allowing them to welcome in the new expansion with a vault full of returned classic weapons.
Bungie's Destiny 2 is an online FPS that blends single-player and multiplayer content. Constantly evolving, the shooter has established a strong following since its 2017 debut.
