Since the launch of the Warmind DLC, the community has been searching for the Black Spindle. Data mining results have led fans to suspect that the sniper “Black Spindle” will further expand the exotic arsenal of Destiny 2. However, it has not been found yet. New insights, however, give hope to many fans.
The community believes in the return: A return of the Black Spindle in Destiny 2 is considered very likely by many fans. Just before the release of the second expansion, data miners found has not been confirmed.
However, there are now more new insights that may suggest a return is imminent.
Return of the Spindle within the next 2 weeks?
As reported by YouTuber UnknownPlayer, on May 29, 2018, new entries and items have been added to the Destiny 2 databases as part of the update 1.2.1.
New hints in the database: An icon for a classified exotic quest has now been added – the only one that exists at the moment. Since the Black Spindle is also considered the likely last exotic weapon for which hints have already been found, it is now believed that it must be the corresponding exotic quest for this sniper.
Furthermore, according to UnknownPlayer, there are additional factors that suggest a return is imminent: Initially, other items connected to the Spindle were added, including the “masterwork task completed” icon featuring the unmistakable sniper.
There is also a (remaining) classified exotic item – presumably the Spindle itself.
Timing would be strategic: According to the YouTuber, the timing might be favorable. On one hand, many Guardians have nearly completed the time-gated quest line surrounding the Polaris Lance. The weapon is already in circulation, and the associated catalyst is expected next week. This would give players a new exotic to pursue as part of a quest.
On the other hand, some fans speculate about a return before the E3 gaming fair in June. The focus would slowly shift towards the autumn expansion “Destiny Comet” and the new groundbreaking mode. Introducing a new exotic weapon at that time would be incredibly unfortunate.
In the further course of summer, players will be busy with additional features like revamped group activities. A potential release of the weapon within the next two weeks is therefore far from far-fetched. And if UnknownPlayer proves to be right, we will know very soon.
What do you think of these findings? Do you believe that the Spindle will soon make its way into Destiny 2?
