Ahead of the ninth weekly reset in Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph, Bungie revealed several upcoming weapons and armor pieces for Lightfall. In one of their scheduled trailers for January 31, players across the world got to see the new element of Strand in action.
To summarize, the company showcased Exotic weapons that can wield the Strand element, alongside new armor pieces for all three classes. Bungie will potentially tie all three of these armor pieces in with the Legendary campaign reward pool, similar to The Witch Queen.
Strand Exotic weapons and armor pieces revealed for Destiny 2 Lightfall
Destiny 2 Lightfall's weapon and armor trailer recently went live, giving the community a hefty info dump in the span of two minutes. From start to finish, here are all of the gears that were shown in the trailer:
- Final Warning Sidearm
- Deterministic Chaos Machine Gun
- Cyrtarachne's Facade Exotic Hunter helmet
- Abeyant Leap Exotic Titan leg armor
- Quicksilver Storm catalyst
- Swarmers Exotic Warlock leg armor
- Winterbite Stasis Exotic Glaive
Most of these gears seem to synergize directly with the new Strand subclass, be it a weapon or an armor piece. The following are the names of the gears alongside how they will function in the game:
- Final Warning Sidearm: Charged tracking Strand rounds after kills, seems to work a lot like Cryosthesia-77K.
- Deterministic Chaos Machine Gun: Will weaken targets every four hits, and further volatile them with every sixteenth hit.
- Cyrtarachne's Facade Exotic Hunter helmet: Reduced flinching to the user after they have just used Strand grappling.
- Abeyant Leap Exotic Titan leg armor: Casting a barricade skill will spawn additional Strand lashes, which will further tangle enemies.
- Quicksilver Storm Exotic catalyst: While not much is known, it seems that the catalyst will turn the ammunition type of the weapon to Strand. An additional perk will tangle enemies with Grenade kills.
- Swarmers Exotic Warlock leg armor: Destroying tangled enemies will spawn threadlings.
- Winterbite Exotic Stasis Glaive: Summons frost orbs that further freeze targets.
Players can expect more gears to arrive apart from the aforementioned ones, as Bungie has been pushing the aspect of new build crafting in the Lightfall expansion. As mentioned earlier, each class will be presented with the option to choose between two new Exotics after finishing the Legendary campaign.
The trailer ends by showing a Hunter throwing a Strand Tangle at a wave of enemies and a Cabal tank. Players can expect a full breakdown of the Strand in an upcoming blog post.
