Destiny 2 seasonal weapons from The Witch Queen expansion will be returning next season (Season 22) as a part of the announced Exotic rotator missions. Since most of the seasonal content in the game has been vaulted from last year, the only way to acquire any weapons at the moment is via the Gunsmith shop at the Tower.

However, starting next season, every seasonal weapon from Season of the Risen, Haunted, and Seraph will be active within the loot pool of their respective themed Exotic missions. Hence, Risen weapons will be available within the Vox Obscura loot pool, along with Seraph weapons from Operation Seraph's Shield and Haunted weapons from Presage.


Destiny 2's vaulted seasonal weapons to return in the Season 22 loot pool

Readers should note that the returning Exotic missions in Destiny 2 Season 22 will be launched every week, giving everyone limited time to farm for the weapons they need. The announced missions are as follows:

  • Presage from Season of the Hunt.
  • Vox Obscura from Season of the Risen.
  • Operation Seraph's Shield from Season of the Seraph.

Additionally, Bungie has also confirmed that every Exotic weapon, including Dead Man's Tale, Dead Messenger, and Revision Zero, will become craftable. All three aforementioned missions will have both standard and Legendary difficulty. However, it should be noted that Legacy triumph seals from past seasons cannot be progressed upon completing these missions.

As for the Legendary seasonal weapon, getting a red-border drop and dismantling them will progress toward pattern unlock. The Deepsight for Exotic will drop after completing the mission once in either standard or Legendary difficulty.

Lastly, completing a tied weekly mission will drop a guaranteed deepsight weapon, prioritizing the one that isn't unlocked in the player's collection.

Here are all the weapons from each mission, including both Exotics and returning seasonals:
