The second Destiny 2 Into the Light livestream proved to be quite eventful in the context of the game's state. Bungie lost a lot of players with gear vaultings in the Beyond Light expansion, as some meta-defining weapons were made useless. However, as things were looking dire for the looter-shooter title, the company might have found the solution to increase its player count just before The Final Shape.

With the second livestream, players learned everything about the weapons featured in Into the Light. The Recluse and The Mountaintop are the two primary attractions, but other loot, such as additional re-issued weapons, shaders, new perks, armor pieces, and more, might attract more players.

This article lists everything shown in the second developer livestream for Into the Light.

The second livestream for Destiny 2 Into the Light occurred on March 26, 2024, alongside the weekly reset. Bungie will showcase another stream next week on April 2, 2024, where the company will conclude the official reveals with a few more minutes worth of new footage.

However, many are still excited about everything shown in the second stream, as Bungie turned back time for veterans.
