Bungie reveals the mystery of the last weapon exotic from the new DLC “The Black Armory” for Destiny 2. The popular hand cannon “The Last Word” from the predecessor is making a return. However, fans will have to wait a little longer.
That’s why many suspected that the weapon would return: The leaker AnonTheNine had already announced on Reddit some time ago that this exotic hand cannon will be introduced in the first premium DLC. At that time, he was still laughed at by many users.
But this information from him has now turned out to be true. The Last Word will indeed make a comeback.
The Last Word in Destiny 2 – What is known so far
After Bungie hinted at the weapon several times and toyed with the feelings of the fans, it was introduced on December 3 in the official trailer for the weapons of the Black Armory at the end of the clip.
What is The Last Word? This is one of the most popular hand cannons in Destiny 1, which will return with the Black Armory. This exotic hand cannon is likely intended for the kinetic slot. In Destiny 1, The Last Word was kinetic.
What made The Last Word special? In Destiny 1, the special feature of The Last Word was that you could shoot the weapon quickly from the hip without the sights, thus unleashing its full potential.
Because with its perk The Last Word, stability and aim assist were significantly increased when firing from the hip.
Among its other strengths was the massive penetration power. Additionally, the perk Fanning also allowed for fully automatic fire.
The Last Word handled very well, and with some practice, you could dominate most enemies in direct confrontations at close to medium range in PvP.
How does The Last Word work in Destiny 2? In Destiny 2, the weapon will likely stay true to its form and play similarly to how it did in Destiny 1. However, the exotic perk of the weapon has some differences compared to the version from the predecessor.
The intrinsic perk of The Last Word in Destiny 2 is called Fanning. This perk combines several properties that were spread across multiple perks in the Destiny 1 example.
According to the description of the perk, this weapon can fire quickly and continuously. Additionally, it has faster reload and increased precision after consecutive hit damage from the hip. Therefore, the functionality of the weapon has slightly changed.
The Last Word will arrive in Destiny 2 no earlier than January 29
How and when can you get this hand cannon? The Last Word is tied to the exotic quest “The Temptation”, which owners of the Annual Pass will receive as part of the first premium DLC “The Black Armory”.
But even though the Black Armory is opening its doors on December 4, 2018, fans will have to wait a bit longer for The Last Word. The corresponding quest will not be available until January 29, 2019. What exactly the quest will entail is not known yet.
What do you think about The Last Word in Destiny 2? Are you excited about its return? Or would you rather see more new weapons?
