On October 8th, the episode “Returners” will start in Destiny 2, bringing along some new content. In this week’s “This Week in Destiny,” Bungie has introduced the legendary weapons that come with the update. A few weapons stand out, including a hand cannon.
Which weapon is it? In the Returners episode, there will be new weapons again, including the Stasis pistol “Tinasha’s Mastery.” This is a pistol that can be obtained through the Iron Banner and has a rocket-launching chassis. This means that the weapon fires self-propelled rocket ammunition that explodes upon impact, dealing high damage.
This comes with the perk “Chill Clip,” which causes direct hits with the upper half of the magazine to create an explosion that slows down enemies.
“Tinasha’s Mastery” is well received on social media. One user writes on Reddit, “RIP to everything in this slot,” indicating how powerful the weapon could be with the right perks. Other users also have high expectations for the pistol.
Currently, the last act of the episode Echos is still running in Destiny 2:
In the footsteps of other meta pistols
Why does the weapon sound like meta already? So far, there are only a few of these “rocket pistols,” but the ones that exist have all made a strong impression. Both “Anomalous Action” and “Trained Quality” played a direct role in the meta.
At the release of “The Final Shape,” we also reported on the pistol “The Call,” which also features a rocket-launching chassis and was hard to ignore in the meta for a while. The Destiny expert “Aztecross,” who was successful in the contest mode for the raid “Edge of Salvation” at the time, declared the rocket pistol the number 1 in the game.
The rocket pistol “Tinasha’s Mastery” could play an important role in the dungeon that will be released with the episode “Returners.” If it truly is as powerful as many players expect, we might see it in the hands of various teams in the associated competitive mode. Yes, the new dungeon comes with a contest mode: Destiny 2 is getting a new dungeon that offers you a special challenge for the first time
