Shortly before the weekly reset, Destiny 2 presents a new trailer for Witch Queen, showcasing the new weapon crafting and introducing you to “The Relic” as well as new exotics, including a truly wormy grenade launcher.
What was shown new? Destiny 2 takes you into the heart of Savathun’s Throne World in the latest trailer for Witch Queen. The video reveals details about the new, futuristic weapon crafting and also showcases the exotics of the new expansion. Guardians will soon forge their new arsenal on the altered Mars.
The weapons in the trailer had already leaked over a very short promotional trailer over the weekend. Thus, it was already expected that Bungie would soon present more details in an official trailer.
These new weapons await you in Season 16:
- “Great Overture” – A grenade launcher that automatically reloads projectiles
- “Parasite” – A “worm launcher” that can continuously increase its damage
- “Osteo Striga” – The submachine gun features swarming projectiles that trigger a toxic salvo
Moreover, there will indeed be class-specific glaives with different properties/elements, as some Guardians have cleverly suspected.
- Titan Glaive: “Blade of Action” – places a shield
- Warlock Glaive: “Blade of Intention” – deploys a healing turret
- Hunter Glaive: “Blade of Accord” – with a tracking chain lightning
What’s particularly interesting in the trailer: A close-up shows a weapon that seems to have a futuristic perk system, allowing players to change the characteristics of their weapon through switchable slots. This could possibly be a selection menu in the new weapon crafting where players determine which perks their weapons should ultimately have.

In the trailer, Bungie also presents the first new armor exotics for all three classes.
These new exotic armors await you in Season 16:
- Titan Chest: “Raufeif-Z” – a stasis wall replaces the normal barricade
- Warlock Arm: “Osmiomancy” – an additional cold boost with improved targeting
- Hunter Head: “Fäule-Ranger” – bouncing projectiles deal increased damage

What does the community say? The trailer definitely piques the Guardians’ curiosity. Especially since names and special properties of the new exotic weapons and armors are now known. The Witch Queen can probably expect a striking reunion with the Guardians when she first receives them on Mars in Season 16.
