In Destiny 2 , Bungie is introducing the new exotic weapon “Tommy’s Matchbook” (Tommy’s Matchbook) in Season 10, an auto rifle. A player believes he has identified what makes this weapon special: it is supposed to be the first super-fast auto rifle in Destiny 2.
What kind of weapon is this? In Season 10, the new exotic auto rifle “Tommy’s Matchbook” is coming.
The name of the rifle “Tommy” comes, according to Bungie, from “Ghost Tommy” and the weapon is a sign of good will.
In fact, the name “Tommy” is a reference to the design of the weapon: it corresponds to the “Tommy Gun” from our “real” world: The Thompson submachine gun was developed during World War I. With its unusual design featuring a “drum magazine”, it is easily recognizable and has reached cult status.
The weapon has been used in numerous films and is shown not just as a military weapon, but also as a “mafia weapon”. The Tommy Gun is culturally significant.
Smart player deduces: The 1st weapon of its kind in Destiny 2
Here’s what a player says: On reddit, a player has now stated that this weapon will be the first auto rifle in Destiny 2 to fire at 900 rounds per minute.
He recognized this by the music in the trailer for Season 10. It played at 112 beats per minute, and the Tommy Gun would have fired 8 times per beat, according to his calculations, resulting in 900 shots per minute.
Other guardians commend him for this conclusion. One says it’s the nerdy thing he has read in a long time. He meant it as a compliment.
This is what makes it special: The fastest auto rifles in Destiny 2 currently fire at 720 rounds per minute. An auto rifle with 900 shots would therefore be a new archetype in Destiny 2, a particularly fast auto rifle.
In Destiny 1, there were such super-fast auto rifles like the Necrochasm. Guardians now believe that in Destiny 2, the “Doctrine of Passing,” returning with the Trials, could also be such a 900 weapon.
How strong this weapon class will be is one of the exciting questions for Season 10 in Destiny 2. The “Necrochasm” was considered a “pea shooter” in Destiny 1 upon its introduction: it fired extremely quickly but dealt little damage.
In Destiny 2, the exotic auto rifle “Sweet Business” (workhorse), a Gatling gun, also reaches the rate of 900 – but needs to heat up slowly before it can achieve that.
Tommy Gun is part of the Season Pass in Destiny 2
How to get the weapon? The Tommy Gun will be attached to the Season Pass of Destiny 2. Those who purchased it will receive the weapon upon logging in. Those who didn’t purchase it will unlock the weapon at rank 35 in the Season Pass.
- With Season 10, Destiny 2 will address an annoying problem: the loading times.
- In the long term, Destiny 2 plans to take a new direction with the seasons and shift from the “You have to play this now, or it’s gone” philosophy to another approach.
