Bungie simply ran its “reward stream” for its upcoming Future 2: Into the Mild content material, exhibiting off what gamers will earn and the way they’ll do it. The thought right here goes by means of a choice of “biggest hits” Future 2 weapons, a mixture of raid weapons, pinnacles, a couple of world drops and another, stranger ones. For this, you do not want to personal, say, an growth with a raid to get the precise raid weapon they’ve introduced again.
Right here’s the listing, and we are able to chat extra about it after you learn it:
- Mountaintop
- Hung Jury
- Blast Furnace
- Midnight Coup
- Elsie’s Rifle (The Stranger’s Rifle)
- Succession
- Forebearance
- Luna’s Howl
- Recluse
- Falling Guillotine
- Edge Transit
- Hammerhead
The weapons are usually not the one reward, there’s additionally an armor set for every class impressed by early D2. I don’t suppose it seems nice, nevertheless it’s free, so no matter. The extra essential reward is the Superblack Shader, which has some kind of miniquest to unlock it, it appears. It’s a actual shader, not a one-time-use decoration, as they confirmed it on armor.
The Origin Trait on these weapons is that kills give grenade power on a Mild subclass and melee power on a Darkness subclass. There are Restricted Version variations of the weapons that may drop randomly like “shinies” with a special look and 4 perks as an alternative of two. These won’t be out there after Remaining Form drops. You’ll be able to attune within the new Corridor of Champions to get extra favored drops for the gun you need. In order for you a variety of rolls, The Remaining Form is bringing 100 new vault slots. None of those weapons are craftable, however they may use Bungie’s new “enhanceable” system that may be capable to get them enhanced perks one way or the other. A brand new perk referred to as Final Stand provides you bonus harm on kill, whereas melee and grenade kills give an even bigger bonus.
The weapons largely look robust, based mostly on the perks we’ve seen, sort of loopy stuff like Hammerhead with each Rampage and Killing Tally. Others nonetheless have their pinnacle perks like Recluse and Luna’s Howl, however not fairly at their previous energy stage. However a great deal of these look robust sufficient to be thought of energy creep.
I’m curious if there’s going to be a “biggest hits” unique hidden on this content material, because it looks like it might be a very good capstone to this. However clearly no D2 exotics had been sundown, so it must be basic D1, one thing like Icebreaker, however nothing has been promised and even hinted at there but. (Replace: They did say a brand new unique mission is coming in Into the Mild)
There may be yet another livestream after this and on the time of this writing I don’t know what it’s about but as a result of they’re nonetheless capturing issues in misplaced sectors. Verify again quickly.
