The Witch Queen expansion is just days away, so we’ve prepared a quick guide on what you can do in the remaining time, as well as what the new season will bring us.
First, let’s tell you what will leave Destiny 2 in the Witch Queen expansion. Fortunately, we’re left with more than that with the release of Beyond Light, but as before, some of the content and locations will go into the Destiny Content Vault. As for the sad news, we will lose most of the content from seasons 12-15, as well as the Tangled Shore location and the Forsaken campaign.
So, what to look out for while we still have the opportunity.
TANGLED SHORE AND THE FORSAKEN CAMPAIGN
The Forsaken campaign, although short in itself and will not take much time, is worthy of attention at least because of the fascinating plot. Be sure to check out the Triumphs of the Tangled Shore tab to see which ones you need – most of the triumphs are still available now, but not the ones related to Nightfalls on the Warden of Nothing and The Hallowed Lair strikes.
SEASON OF THE HUNT
Despite the exciting story, now the season is notable mainly for the Harbinger mission for the Exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon. We’ll tell you a bit more about it later.
THE WARDEN TITLE
If you haven’t yet earned the Warden Title, it’s time to hurry, because all of the Triumphs associated with the season will go into the vault. Overgear is always happy to help you catch it up in the short amount of time left.
WEAPONS
Although most of the weapons featured this season were pretty mediocre, especially in contrast to later seasons, there are a couple that are still worth checking out – the Kinetic Submachine Gun Friction Fire and the Void Wave Frame Grenade Launcher Deafening Whisper. The second way of using that engram will bring an extra bonus in the form of Arc Heavy Grenade Launcher Blast Battue, just for the collection, if for some reason it is dear to your heart.
HAWKMOON AND ITS CATALYST
Hawkmoon, being one of two randomly rolled Exotic weapons in the game, will not disappear with the release of the Witch Queen, but since the activity for it will be gone, now is the time to get it. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend a lot of money on it. Every week Xur sells Hawkmoon with a set roll for one Ascendant Shard, one Exotic Cipher, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards. The Catalyst for Hawkmoon will be dropped randomly for playlist activity, which is not difficult in theory, but rather exhausting.
SEASON OF THE CHOSEN
This season is famous for many good weapons, and especially for the outstanding exotic scout rifle Dead Man’s Tale and its secret mission Presage.
THE CHOSEN TITLE
This title also goes to the vault, so don’t miss your chance to get it.
WEAPONS
There were a lot of good weapons in the Season of the Chosen, but the ones that really deserve attention are: the Kinetic Submachine Gun Extraordinary Rendition, the Void Bow Imperial Needle, and the Void Heavy Linear Fusion Rifle Threaded Needle. Extraordinary Rendition and Threaded Needle can be obtained from the first level Tools of the Chosen engram in the Umbral Decoder. Bonus from the engram is a nice Solar Special Sniper Rifle Far Future.
DEAD MAN’S TALE AND ITS CATALYST
Dead Man’s Tale is the second randomly rolled Exotic weapon in the game and deservedly enjoys undying popularity among the Guardians. As with Hawkmoon, Bungie didn’t send it to the Monument of Lost Lights, and after the launch of the new expansion it can be purchased from Xur for one Ascendant Shard, one Exotic Cipher, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards for each roll once a week. The price is huge, so we still recommend that you try to get it before February 22. The Catalyst for Dead Man’s Tale will be dropped randomly for playlist activity, which is not difficult in theory, but rather exhausting as well.
SEASON OF THE SPLICER
The Season of Splicer was marked by the salvation of the Last City, which the Vexes plunged into endless night. The alliance with Mitrax helped us end the curse of the Last City.
THE SPLICER TITLE
Like all other titles the Splicer Title will leave the game, so don’t miss your chance to get it.
WEAPONS
The Season of the Splicer weapons were basically more than good, but now, before the release of the Witch Queen expansion, it’s worth paying attention to the Kinetic Auto Rifle Chroma Rush, the Void Pulse Rifle Gridskipper, and the Kinetic Special Grenade Launcher Ignition Code. It’s not hard to get them through the Season of the Splicer tab using Decrypted Data, and the Chroma Rush and the Ignition Code you can also get through the Tools of the Splicer tier one focus in the Umbral Decoder.
SEASON OF THE LOST
The return of the Queen of the Awoken Mara Sov, the mystery of Osiris, who as it turned out has been replaced by the insidious Hive god Savathun, her unexpected request for help and other exciting plot twists gave us this season.
THE REALMWALKER TITLE
Like other titles we will lose the opportunity to get it in a future expansion. Hurry up to get it.
WEAPONS
The Season of the Lost brought us two worthy weapons, the Arc Primary Bow Wolftone Draw and the Stasis Special Shotgun Fractethyst. You can get these, As well as all of the Season of the Lost weapons through the current season section of the Umbral Decoder.
MOMENTS OF TRIUMPH
Moments of Triumph is Destiny 2’s annual event celebrating the achievements the Guardians have made during the year. This seal and title will also leave the game, but you still have a chance to get them.
