Destiny 2 has revealed the news and presents 10 new Exotics. Check out the trailer and the description of the new weapons and armor from the DLC here.
This is what the trailer is about: On the evening of October 6, Bungie released a teaser for Beyond Light. It was promised that today, on October 7, a bigger announcement regarding the highly anticipated DLC would follow – and Bungie kept its word.
The new trailer showcases 10 fresh Exotics. Included are four weapons and two exotic armor pieces per class.
MeinMMO shows you the trailer and afterwards provides a brief description of the unique abilities of the new toys, with which you will make Europe unsafe starting November 10.
Check out the 10 new Exotics in the trailer in German here:
Many Guardians expected that Bungie would present two new Exotics today, which they teased briefly yesterday. That revealing a whole arsenal is something that very few Guardians would have anticipated.
By the way, our shooter expert Sven Galitzki is also thrilled about the new trailer and is really looking forward to Destiny 2 – but probably only from November 10: I’m really excited for Destiny 2, but I can’t even force myself to play it
Salvation’s Grip
This is what the grenade launcher can do: “Salvation’s Grip” fires projectiles that create Stasis crystals and freeze nearby enemies. Charging this weapon increases the number of created crystals and enlarges the freeze radius.
Beyond Light introduces the first new element in Destiny’s history: Stasis. Therefore, it is not surprising that an Exotic weapon fully relies on ice power.
No Time to Explain
This is what the pulse rifle can do: Precision hits and hits on enemies affected by Stasis are replenished into the magazine of “No Time to Explain.” Stack this effect to summon a portal from which the weapon shoots from another timeline.
We see how a small black hole fires upon enemies like an automatic turret and hovers next to the weapon bearer. In Destiny 1, the weapon only played around with ammunition and was only iconic because of its bearer, the Exo-Stranger, – now it seems to be a useful weapon.
Cloudstrike
This is what the sniper rifle can do: Precision headshots from “Cloudstrike” create lightning at the opponent’s position. Quick precision hits create a storm at the impact site.
The sniper somewhat resembles the Destiny 1 weapon The Curse. But it could only blind with its lightning, not clear a storm. In the trailer, a single hit takes out 3 Guardians in PvP.
The Lament
This is what the sword can do: The sword “The Lament” cuts through enemy shields and has an improved defense mechanism. By blocking, you charge the blade. If you hit enemies in the charged state, you heal yourself.
Concept art of this sword has been circulating online for a while. Now we know how badly swords need a headfirst dive attack.
Icefall Mantle
This is what the Titan gloves can do: With “Icefall Mantle” your Titan barricade is replaced by an overshield that absorbs incoming damage.
In the clip, we see the Titan impressively drawing fire onto themselves and honoring their reputation as the tank of Destiny. Can one also withstand headshots in PvP?
Precious Scars
This is what the Titan helmet can do: When revived, the Titan gains an overshield aura through “Precious Scars,” protecting the bearer and allies nearby.
Thanks to this Exotic, it could be really worthwhile to revive a fallen Titan on the battlefield.
Mask of Bakris
This is what the Hunter helmet can do: Equip the “Mask of Bakris” to replace the Hunter’s dodge ability with a longer dive that cloaks the bearer for a short time.
In the trailer, it looked less like a dive and more like Hunters could teleport again – like in Destiny 1. Additionally, one might think that this mask looks scarier than the current Halloween gear .
Athrys’ Embrace
This is what the Hunter gloves can do: The Hunter’s balanced knife (charged melee) bounces back a second time thanks to “Athrys’ Embrace.” Quick precision hits additionally grant bonus damage and can stagger enemies for a short time.
In the shown “Beyond Light” gameplay, it almost looked like the knife magically found the enemy’s head. Until we know how strong the aim assist actually will be, exciting balance discussions are likely to continue.
Dawn Chorus
This is what the Warlock helmet can do: With “Dawn Chorus,” the Dawnblade projectiles of Solar Warlocks deal additional damage and cause enemies to burn on contact. Gain melee energy every time a target takes damage from burning.
With this, Warlocks indirectly have their Viking Funeral from Destiny 1 back – we wish you happy kindling.
Necrotic Grip
This is what the Warlock gloves can do: Melee attacks with equipped “Necrotic Grip” corrupt enemies with damage that increases over time. If a corrupted fighter is defeated, the corruption spreads to nearby targets and restores melee energy.
The effect is somewhat comparable to the top Exotics from Season 11, the Witherhoard. Both infect enemies and are contagious.
What do you think of the 10 new Exotics? Do you also think that powerful toys are on the way?
Especially interesting is that Exotics with roots from Destiny 1 make their return in a significantly revised form – what could this mean for the reunion with the Hawkmoon ? Additionally, keep in mind that we should expect more Exotics from the raid or secret quests, of which we have seen nothing so far.
Until you make the ice moon Europa unsafe starting November 10, you can pass the time with candies, spooks, and costumes.
