Destiny 2 Into the Light Brave Arsenal Preview

Yesterday, we got a preview of the weapons that will be available starting April 9th in the release Into the Light, which was presented last week. It’s basically a horde mode. Many rumors have been floating around. Do they stack up?

Recluse, mountain top, midnight coup, blast furnace and hammerhead are among the more iconic weapons making a return with modified and reworked perks.

These weapons won’t be craftable, but you’ll be able to enhance their perks, I think like the current adept raid weapons, meaning that all you’ll be looking for is the 2 main perks from columns 3 and 4. The rest of the guns can be customized, which is cool.

Luna’s Howl makes a comeback, but as a 140. The perk has been reworked. I’m not sure how it’ll compare in pvp. Chris Proctor compared it to Hawkmoon. It looks pretty strong.

Two weapons, succession from Deep Stone Crypt, and forbearance from Vow, will also be available without owning the expansions the raids came from. This is unusual because they are still obtainable, and I think the craftable versions will still still be stronger.

Falling Guillotine will be available with, wait for it, eager edge, bait and switch, chain reaction, relentless strikes, immediately outclassing the adept slammer because FG’s perks can be enhanced. Though I remember that Slammer can also be enhanced.

They showcased the new social space, which is just filled with chests that you can open with currencies from Onslaught. There are also new vendors, Shaxx and Arcite. The weapons can drop with a special ornament, that is tied to this specific weapon. It looks pretty good. Curated rolls with ornaments can be obtained via quests. Once a weapon is unlocked, you can attune your drops to it, combatting rng. The limited versions with ornaments are, well, limited to the time between April 9th and the release of TFS, June 4th. Recluse’s master of arms has been reworked more than a few times. From what I’ve seen, it’s capped at 15%. If recluse can roll with onslaught, that’ll be fun.

There is one new armor set per class. It’s the one featured in the key art. There’s going to be a new shader called superblack, which will be a completely black shader, something I’ve been wanting since refurbished black armory never dropped for me.

I’m kind of annoyed that out of the 12 weapons, I already have 3. Of those, 2 are fully crafted and enhanced. Yet I can see why it’s been done. It helps new players since this is free. I’m not the target audience. There’s also going to be a package available, as the gift from the thunder lords, to level up to 1800. I don’t see why they have reissued Hung Jury for the 6th or 7th time. There’s a blog post dropping today with all of the weapons and the available perks.
