In Destiny 2, a new quest for the exotic weapon “The Last Word” is coming at the end of January. Players were worried that time gates would be returning. But Bungie now says: “No, you don’t have to wait.”
What kind of quest is this? It is about the exotic quest “The Draw” (in German: die Verlockung).
The quest is supposed to start on January 29 in Destiny 2. We currently know little about the quest. However, it looks like the exotic hand cannon “The Last Word” is waiting as a reward for the players.
Bungie has already hinted at the weapon in connection with the quest.
Dataminers and lore experts believe that the quest might have to do with the “Weapons of Sorrow”. These are mythical weapons in Destiny that have been corrupted by the Hive – like the Thorn, Necrochasm, or Bad Juju.
Optimists even hope that another exotic weapon could be available for the Guardians during the quest: such a “corrupted weapon”.
In the lore of Destiny, the “good weapon”, The Last Word, is closely connected to the “evil weapon”, Thorn.
This was the biggest fear: Players were concerned that the quest would start on January 29 but that only the first step of the weapon could be completed.
In previous quests, it was the case that you could only complete one step of the quest per week. The actual weapon was only available after three weeks (Thunderlord) or even the fourth week (Polaris Lance).
These time gates annoy the Guardians because in some weeks you can only complete a tiny step of the quest. This feels boring and also somewhat unsatisfying without a relevant reward.
This is what Bungie says now: Bungie’s community manager, Cozmo23, clearly stated on reddit: “You will be able to complete the steps at your own pace. You don’t have to wait for any resets.”
Phew, this evening, on Tuesday, January 8, something is happening in Destiny 2 for the first time in 2019. The fourth and final forge will open. This could be the start of an exciting year:
