Bungie reveals that a number of fan-favorite Exotics and Legendary weapons in Destiny are making a comeback in the April Update at the new Year 2 power levels.
Destiny fans who have some favorite weapons from the first year ofmay be happy to hear that a number of the popular Exotics and Legendary weapons from Destiny ‘s Year 1 will be updated to new Year 2 power levels. Once the April Update hits on April 12, players will be able to earn this updated gear.
During Bungie’s reveal stream today showing off the new armor and weapons coming in the April Update, the developer showed off a newly expanded Vault which contained some old favorite Legendary weapons.
This is a bit unique for Bungie to do, because (while the House of Wolves expansion offered a way to bring any old favoriteLegendaries from the past up to the new level cap) the developer drew a hard line in the sand when The Taken King was released. In fact, the developer stated that, aside of refreshed Exotics, Year 1 weapons would be left behind.
So it was a bit of a surprise when the reveal came today that some Legendary weapons would be making the jump. However, unlike what happened with House of Wolves , Bungie is very much controlling which new updated Legendaries get into the loot pool. Undoubtedly, Bungie doesn’t want to throw the doors wide open again and have every person running around with a max-Light Fatebringer again.
Bungie is revealing a number of the exotics coming with the April Update via the official Destiny Instagram. We will continue to update the list as more are posted. fusion rifle Purifier Robes Warlock chest armor Patience and Time sniper rifle Lucky Raspberry Hunter chest armor Hunter helmet Lord of Wolves shotgun ACD/0 Feedback Fence Titan gauntlets Khepri’s Sting Hunter gauntlets Sunbreakers Warlock gauntlets The Glasshouse Titan helmet Dreg’s Promise sidearm
