After the hand cannon Thorn, Guardians in Destiny 2 are eagerly awaiting the second exotic weapon of Season 6. However, there is still no sign of the Arbalest.
This is what Season 6 brought: In Destiny 2, Season 6 is in full swing. However, most of the planned content has already been released.
Guardians can earn the exotic hand cannon Thorn, tackle Invitations of the Nine and the Loyalty Quest or enjoy themselves in Gambit Prime and Reckoning – the two new modes of Season 6.
Only two events are still pending. But another feature is still missing that fans are eagerly waiting for. The second exotic weapon of Season 6.
This is the weapon in question: We are talking about the Arbalest, the first kinetic linear fusion rifle in Destiny 2.
With its intrinsic perk Compounding Force, this weapon fires projectiles that deal massive damage to enemy elemental shields – and this is despite the weapon being kinetic.
Due to the perk Disruption, enemies become temporarily more vulnerable to kinetic damage when their elemental shield is destroyed with the Arbalest.
How and when will the Arbalest finally come into play?
This is currently the question that concerns many fans. Because what the weapon looks like and what it can theoretically do is already known. But where is the second exotic weapon of Season 6? In principle, there are only a few possibilities left:
The Arbalest could randomly go live during Season 6: Some fans believe that the weapon could go live without much fanfare and that its quest may simply be hidden behind a time lock. Some even consider it possible this week.
Because there are no major events planned for the current Destiny week. However, in the image of the roadmap, which symbolizes the private matches for Gambit Prime on April 2, a Guardian is carrying the Arbalest. Therefore, some speculate that the weapon could go live this week.
If not, there would still be enough time after the planned events until the start of Season 7 to introduce the Arbalest in order to bring some fresh wind into Destiny 2. Perhaps the weapon is being saved exactly for that purpose.
The Arbalest is coming during Arc Week: Next week at Destiny 2, the first of the two remaining events, Arc Week, is supposed to start.
What the event is and what exactly it entails is still a mystery. Because there are no details about Arc Week – neither official nor leaked or rumored.
Some fans speculate that Arc damage could be significantly increased during this week or that some of the missing Masterwork catalysts could be submitted in this context. However, the Arbalest seems to have little in common with this event at first glance. Because it is a kinetic weapon.
Nevertheless, it is not excluded that a potential quest could start during Arc Week. Next week all Guardians should be wiser.
The Arbalest is available at the Revelry: A week later, on April 16, the last known event of Season 6 – the Revelry – will start. This will run until May 6.
There is still little known about it. The Spring event is said to take place in a revamped Eververse, featuring its own armor sets. The rewards of the event have already been leaked.
Some fans assume that the Arbalest could come with this event. The remaining exotic quest is supposed to be accessible to all players and is not tied to the Annual Pass. And the Revelry event is intended for all players, regardless of additional content for Destiny 2. It would make sense to launch such a quest.
What do you think? How and when will this weapon come into play?
