The next season of Destiny 2 is just four days away, and Bungie recently made several important announcements. The latest TWAB gave the community an idea of what to expect in terms of perks and Exotics, as well as new rewards in the loot pool. These weapons will be made available via the Nightfall, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner.

Some of the announced gears will be familiar to veteran players from Year 1, while others will make their debuts in Season 19. Amidst significant changes to game modes and sandboxes, these gears will also add to the experience regarding a few artifact mods.

Among these gears, one particular pinnacle from Destiny 2 Year 2 will return with various perks in Nightfall.

The Destiny 2 community is generally aware of all the weapons that will be removed from the loot pool shortly. Each activity will have at least two weapons vaulted out in Season 19, as they will be replaced by either brand new ones or options from previous seasons.

The following list contains every new weapon that will be added to the loot pool in Season 19:

  • Trials of Osiris: Exalted Truth Suros Adaptive Hand Cannon and Suros Adaptive Machine Gun.
  • Iron Banner: Dark Decider Auto Rifle and Gunnora's Axe Slug Shotgun.
  • Nightfall: Wendigo GL3 Heavy Grenade Launcher and Hung Jury SR4 Scout Rifle.

Although players are generally hyped about all of the new entries in Season 19, Wendigo GL3 has got the community particularly excited about the long-lost IziDigo meta (Izanagi + Wendigo).

The pinnacle version of the weapon had a specific set of perks, which involved Auto-Loading Holster and Explosive Light, giving it a serious edge over other heavy weapons for boss DPS. With this re-issue, players can expect Chain Reaction, Vorpal Weapon, and Quickdraw to be made available.

The list of weapons that will be rotating out of the activities is as follows:

  • Trials of Osiris: Reed's Regret Linear Fusion Rifle and Aisha's Embrace Scout Rifle.
  • Nightfall: Duty Bound Auto Rifle and Silicon Neuroma Sniper Rifle.
  • Iron Banner: Forge's Pledge Pulse Rifle and Riiswalker Shotgun.

The community hopes that Bungie will not put Wendigo along the same lines as Mindbender's re-entry. Unfortunately, the once-beloved Solar Shotgun is now a shell of its former powerful self.

The Wendigo GL3 holds tremendous potential to be one of the best heavy weapons in Destiny 2 PvE, due to its Arc element and the choice of perks it can synergize with.
