Does Season 10 in Destiny 2 have ritual weapons? Yes, but only one. Read what you need to know about it and why there were hopes for the return of the pinnacle weapons.
No ritual weapons in Season 10? On March 10, the Season of the Worthy in Destiny 2 began and many players headed to the Tower to receive the new quests and bounties. However, the absence of certain quests left many faces puzzled.
Neither Zavala, Lord Shaxx, nor the Drifter offered tasks for new ritual weapons. The Guardians wondered whether the absence of the ritual weapon missions was a mistake or a bug.
There are so many new ritual weapons: The community manager dmg04 solved the riddle (via Twitter): In Season 10, there will be only one new ritual weapon.
This weapon will for the first time be an Iron Banner ritual weapon. So you no longer need to hope for a corresponding quest from the usual suspects.
There were already speculations about the weapon from the Iron Banner in Season 9. Based on findings in the Destiny databases, a special bow is expected as a ritual weapon in the PvP event Iron Banner.
Shortly before the start of the first Iron Banner of Season 10, Bungie will provide the Guardians with more information regarding this. When we will welcome Lord Saladin at the Tower is not yet known.
Special weapons in Destiny 2 are a carrot dangling in front of the nose
What are ritual weapons actually? The so-called ritual weapons are legendary weapons with fixed rolls. This means you are not dependent on your loot luck to get a strong weapon. Each specific ritual weapon always has the same perks and abilities.
Since Shadowkeep, you could obtain the special guns every season in Gambit, PvP, and through Strikes. The hunt for the weapons invigorated the activities and gave the Guardians a carrot dangling in front of their nose, an object of desire.
Players hoped for new pinnacle weapons in Season 10: The concept of ritual weapons is still relatively new in Destiny. Previously, there were the pinnacle weapons. These were extremely powerful legendaries that essentially had exotic capabilities. However, due to their overwhelming power and dominance, Bungie scrapped this idea.
In his Director’s Cut, Destiny head Luke Smith explained that in the future, weapons will be equipped with a kind of expiration date. This way, there is the possibility to make legendary weapons shine again.
Therefore, many Guardians hoped for the return of the powerful pinnacle weapons in the Season of the Worthy after this statement. Whether Bungie is internally working on new pinnacle weapons or what the future looks like for ritual weapons is currently unknown.
Do you miss the ritual weapons or do you crave powerful pinnacle weapons in Destiny 2? With the absence of ritual weapons, much weight rests on the new Trials weapons.
