One day before the release of the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2 Bungie released the launch trailer for the 2nd DLC. Among other things, new exotic weapons, story snippets, and the giant Worm God Xol were shown. What details were hidden in the trailer?
Shortly before the launch of the Warmind DLC Bungie gets the Guardians excited again for the second expansion, which is set to release in just a few hours. The studio released the launch trailer for DLC II on the eve of the release. We have summarized the most important information for you.
Launch Trailer for the Warmind DLC – What’s Inside?
Besides already known features and content, the trailer also reveals some new details. Both new weapons and unknown story elements, as well as some fresh enemies, can be seen. Let’s take a closer look at the new details.
New Weapons
The first exotic sword comes with the 2nd DLC to the delight of many Guardians – the Worldline Zero. The sword is visually inspired by a Fallen energy blade.
The Worldline Zero deals Arc damage and has some cool combo moves in store. The most notable feature of the sword is a type of blink teleportation during the attack. This allows the wielder to close the distance to the enemy without being hit themselves.
How to obtain this sword is not yet known. There are also no details on the exact perks of the weapon.
The return of the Sleeper Simulant is becoming more likely. Previously, fans had found hints about the Sleeper in the official materials. In the trailer, many now believe they have found the definitive proof of its return.
The weapon that the Warlock is holding in his hands leaves little room for speculation. However, there has been no official confirmation from Bungie yet.
The new hand cannon in Warmind style is also seen multiple times in the trailer. This weapon is currently the focus of heated debates. Visually, it is very reminiscent of the 3 exclusive weapons from the Escalation Protocol event.
However, it will not be available as part of this event. Bungie confirmed this via Twitter. The studio did not provide details about the weapon’s origin, stating they do not want to spoil everything beforehand.
Many fans suspect, however, that it may be an exclusive Nightfall weapon from the new strike “Will of the Thousands.” This strike takes place in the Rasputin bunker. A weapon visually inspired by it appearing as a reward does not seem unreasonable. Furthermore, Bungie has already confirmed that there will be new exclusive Nightfall rewards for the Warmind strikes.
New Enemies
The trailer also showcased some new enemies from the upcoming expansion.
Worm God Xol seems to be by far the most conspicuous and largest creature that the Guardians will soon have to face.
In the previously shown video material, his massive size could already be inferred. In the new trailer, fans now get to see him in all his glory. Many are of the opinion that Xol will be the final boss in the Warmind story.
New footage of Nokris, the Herald of Xol has also been revealed.
Players will face this Hive God at the end of the strike “Strange Terrain.”
New Hive enemies from the Escalation Protocol event were also shown. Huge ogres in the style of Phogoth or Golgoroth will soon make life difficult for the Guardians.
Two huge Hive Knights were also seen. Whether these enemies will act as different mid or final bosses of the event is not yet known.
The first players will likely find this out for themselves in a short time.
New Raid Wing
For the first time, there were also moving images from the new raid wing Star’s Gate. As suspected, the new raid passage takes place on the back of the Leviathan. There, players will face the Cabal once again. Some detail-oriented fans expect a story twist after the trailer.
According to fans, the Cabal enemies visually resemble the Red Legion rather than the usual Calus troops. The Red Legion and Calus troops are known to be unfriendly towards each other.
Flying Cabal ships in the background strengthen this assumption in the minds of some fans. Will there be conflict among the space turtles?
Story
There was also a new detail about the story surrounding the Warmind expansion. In addition to Ana Bray, Zavala will also guide you through the storyline of DLC 2.
The Vanguard Commander is also present and is not particularly pleased with either the awakening of Rasputin or the presence of the Hive. He will likely play a similar role to Ikora in Curse of Osiris.
