Some of the most popular weapons in the history of Destiny 2 are coming back with the Into the Light update. Only a few can understand the community's excitement as weapons such as The Recluse and The Mountaintop make their way into the loot pool with better perks and additional options. The Into the Light expansion is shaping up to be a significant update for the title.

This article lists all the weapons scheduled for the Into the Light expansion, especially ones that are getting re-issued. As mentioned earlier, weapons such as The Recluse and The Mountaintop are returning from sunset, alongside other popular gear pieces such as Luna's Howl, Blast Furnace, Hammerhead, Midnight Coup, and more.

Experienced Destiny 2 players will be all too familiar with these names, as they were the most-picked weapons until the major sunsetting in 2020.

To farm a particular weapon, players can unlock "Attunement" and set a specific weapon as "attuned." Doing so will significantly increase the drop rate of the attuned weapon.

Special mention should be given to the Origin Trait, Indomitability, which will be present in all the weapons mentioned above. It states the following:

Final blows grant bonus Grenade energy when playing in Light subclass or melee energy while playing with Darkness subclass
