Destiny 2 is a sought-after game worldwide, and so the game developer informs about its planned changes in other languages as well. However, it seems that a new exotic weapon for the upcoming Season 17 has been accidentally revealed. It once dismantled everything in the PvP of Destiny 1. MeinMMO reveals which weapon it is and why this could also mean the return of the Iron Lords.
Bungie had a lot to report last week, and therefore the weekly blog post consisted of almost 9000 words. To make it even more exciting, the developer also mentioned an unknown weapon that will soon be introduced in the game. Its name, however, was mentioned in the text only as [CONFIDENTIAL].
The Guardians speculated about which weapon it could be. But only the keen-eyed detectives from the Destiny 2 RaidSecrets Reddit actually found an uncensored version of the “This Week at Bungie” blog.
- Apparently, the name of the weapon was not censored in the Japanese article.
- After translation, the English word “Trespasser” was revealed there.
What weapon is it? “Trespasser” is an iconic exotic sidearm with a 90s rate of fire from Destiny 1 and was called “Unbefugter” in the German game. If the leak is true, it would return in Season 17. However, please note that this is a leak and the information has not been officially confirmed.
In Destiny 1, this exotic sidearm was, after a change, one of the best and most popular weapons in PvP. In “Elimination,” it even ranked third among the special weapons that achieved the most kills. And even in PvE, one could shred through enemy masses with ease when Arc Burn was active.
Back then, the exotic dealt Arc damage and had three exotic perks:
- Unyielding Pursuer: Kills briefly grant enhanced tracking on movement.
- Be the Danger: Fires shot bursts with deadly precision – When you pull the trigger once, three shots are fired simultaneously.
- Exotic Perk “Not Remorseful”: Reloading after a kill enables a longer super burst – The burst consists of six shots.
Will the Iron Lords soon awaken again?
This specific exotic sidearm is also a Destiny 1 weapon that came into the game with the expansion “The Rise of Iron”. The phrase below the weapon name mentions Shiro-4. He was the NPC vendor in the Iron Temple at that time and a good friend of Cayde-6.
The player “EnriqueRdz” has therefore speculated that Destiny 2 might be heading towards a new season of the Iron Lords in 2022 and the upcoming Season 17. Essentially, what the Pastebin leak has already hinted at.
Revision of Iron Banner in the next season, Solar 3.0 (probably) the next element, then the “Trespasser,” which belongs to Shiro-4. I keep my fingers crossed and hope with all my heart that the next season has the theme “Iron Lords” and that Shiro returns to become the next Hunter Vanguard and Exo representative in the Tower.

The player “Wonderusechelon” has also recognized the connection and commented on reddit:
Please. Ever since Forsaken I’ve literally asked myself every season where the hell Shiro is. He is perfect Hunter Vanguard material. Although we all know that [the position] will likely go to Crow, the way things are going.

What does Bungie say about the Japanese weapon leak? On Twitter, the new community manager “Hippy” expressed her thoughts on the releases at 4 am. She mentioned that she received a lot of messages and screenshots about the Japanese leak and is confused about it as well.
The TWAB hasn’t even been sent to our localization team, so I’m unclear on where this “Japanese TWAB leak” comes from. It doesn’t exist. […]
writes Bungie’s community manager on Twitter
On Twitter, the discussion with the Guardians then escalated further, as there seemed to have been several misunderstandings. Meanwhile, Bungie corrected the version of the Japanese “This Week at Bungie” blog so that the name of the weapon is now no longer visible there.
What do you think of this revelation? Do you think this exotic sidearm is good and do you believe the Iron Lords will really return soon? Or are the Japanese wrong and the leak is just a strange coincidence of a wrong translation? Feel free to leave us your thoughts in the comments.
