In Destiny 2 the Season 14 is starting in a few days and we now know many of the new weapons that await you in various activities. Players can expect a mix of beloved classics in a new guise and fresh weapons.
Recently, Bungie piqued players’ interest with a fun trailer for the new Season 14, which starts on May 11. Now the Destiny developer follows up in the TWaB (weekly blog post) and presents the new killing tools that you will hunt in the Season of the Splicer.
We were shown many new and revised weapons. Currently, especially the return of a legendary classic is causing excitement among Guardians – and we are not talking this time about the Fatebringer. Included is also the new quest weapon and many weapons from various activities.
This favorite is coming back: When you ask Guardians which legendary weapons they always carried in Destiny 1, you get many answers. However, if you narrow the question down to the most popular scout rifle, the answer in 99% of cases is: “The Hung Jury (Uneinigkeit SR4) from Dead Orbit!”
This precise weapon with top-tier perks is being brought back to Destiny 2 by Bungie with Season 14. What the weapon will be called in the new version or what perks it has is still a mystery. However, we can say with certainty that “Uneinigkeit 2.0” looks just as stylish as it did back then:
Here’s how you get the weapon: The weapon goes into the loot pool of the Nightfall: The Ordeal. MeinMMO has already reported that the 3 current weapons from Season 13 are taking a break and will be replaced by 3 fresh weapons – now we know what to expect visually.
The Omolon sniper rifle and the fusion rifle in the picture are also newly revamped classics from Destiny 1, returning now as Nightfall weapons.
For Nightfall weapons, the following applies:
- The higher the difficulty, the higher the drop chance at the end of the strike mission
- The 3 weapons rotate: each week there is a different gun in the loot pool
- At the top tier, you can earn the stronger master versions of the weapons (this high difficulty will only be made available during Season 14)
15 more weapons from the Season of the Splicer
This is in the new Season Pass:
- On the left, we see a shotgun
- At the bottom, there is a heavy machine gun
- On the right, you can see an exotic pistol
What do we know about the exotic? A lot is already known about the pistol: This is a new exotic from Season 14 called Kryosthesie 77K. This weapon deals Stasis damage, and in the trailer, we already saw how it froze an enemy after a short charge.
Until now, the dangerous ice powers were only available through abilities – with the exception of an exotic grenade launcher, which is very weak, requires rare power ammunition but can create Stasis crystals. A pistol that presumably uses primary ammunition but has access to Stasis already has PvP guardians shivering in their boots.
Here’s a closer look at Kryosthesie 77K:
The legendary shotgun, the legendary machine gun, and the exotic pistol are waiting in the new Season Pass of Season 14. Here they can also be earned by free-to-play guardians. In the past, the exotic for purchasers of the pass was already waiting at level 1, for everyone else at level 35.
Seasonal weapons with a touch of Cyberpunk
This is what you can find in the seasonal activities: More weapons with a futuristic neon-chrome look can be earned through the new Override activity.
- In the top left, we either have a grenade launcher for the special slot or an auto rifle with a very open barrel
- On the right, we can see a pistol – possibly a hand cannon, although the model would be somewhat small for the huge revolvers
- In the middle, we have something reminiscent of a rapid-fire Vex weapon – an auto rifle, scout, or possibly a submachine gun?
- At the bottom, we presumably see a pulse rifle
Override is a 6-guardian activity that features an automatic player search. Participating requires owning the Season Pass – for one week, however, all guardians can get a taste of the activity for free.
The new weapons in the picture can also be obtained from Umbra Engrams. Whether they will be added to the current loot or the engravings will be revised is currently unknown.
This is the new quest weapon: Each season, you can earn a so-called quest weapon through a quest. This is a legendary gun that has fixed perks, among which you can choose from various combinations.
In Season 14, you’ll get the fusion rifle “Astonishing”:
Whether you tackle the quest in PvP, Gambit, or the Crucible was entirely up to you in recent times. Once you have the weapon, you can unlock ornaments (skins) matching the 3 activities.
We already know one of the perks of “Astonishing”: Salvage Salvo. This is the once-unique ability of the top-tier weapon “Query of Fate,” which is now in retirement. Read more about the perk and why it caused quite a stir during the announcement here: Destiny 2 whispers “quietly” that a strong weapon is coming back soon.
Which weapons are still coming in Season 14?
This loot is coming to the playlists: The so-called core playlists in Destiny are Strikes, Gambit, and Crucible matches. All 3 modes will receive a new legendary weapon starting in Season 14, which you can randomly receive upon completing a round.
So far, only the appearance of the 3 new weapons is known:
- The grenade launcher on the left you’ll get in Strikes
- The submachine gun on the right is for Gambit – the weapon strongly resembles the top SMG from Season 8, which most people likely forgot.
- The revolver at the bottom goes into the Crucible
The new weapons do not replace any old loot but are added to the pool. You can still hunt your “Last Dollar“.
What about the Iron Banner? Even the dusty PvP event Iron Banner will receive some love in Season 14. Lord Saladin will bring you 4 new weapons every month.
Were those all the new weapons? No! We already know that we can expect the raid weapons from the Glass Chamber. So you can look forward to the Fatebringer 2.0.
Additionally, we can be quite sure that there is still a secret exotic weapon hiding somewhere in Season 14. The new trailer also revealed the old class swords, which likely indicate an update. Bungie itself announces in the TWaB: “Now we’ve reached the point where we can say ‘and more.’ There are certainly more weapons to discover as you play.”
What do you think of the new weapons that are already known? Is there too much fan service for the Destiny 1 veterans, or is it totally fine that Bungie takes the beloved models and gives them new perks and stats? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
