Which Year 1 Exotics are coming in September as Year 2 versions and why?
This was a complex discussion within the whole team. They are looking at: What should the new meta-game be and how does the overall picture look? For example, three brand new exotic scout rifles are coming. Thus, the MIDA Multi-Tool will not be on the list of Year 1 weapons receiving an exotic version in Year 2.
However, only one exotic new pulse rifle is coming, so they brought Red Death and Bad Juju into Year 2.
All “PlayStation-exclusive weapons”, which will also be available to Xbox users, will be brought into Year 2 right at the start: So Monte Carlo, Hawkmoon, and the Fourth Horseman.
Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker are weapons that also represent problems in the first year, as they allowed players to bypass mechanics that made “bullet sponges” as bosses or the penalty mechanics in the Nightfall strike. These weapons have been answers to everything.
No further answers are provided to that question. So there are still many things open. In the meantime, it has become known that all Year 1 Exotics will eventually receive Year 2 versions.
What about Glimmer? What about artifacts? On the next page, you’ll learn more.
