Bungie reveals that a number of fan-favorite Exotics and Legendary weapons inDestinyare making a comeback in the April Update at the new Year 2 power levels.
Destinyfans who have some favorite weapons from the first year ofDestinymay be happy to hear that a number of the popular Exotics and Legendary weapons fromDestiny’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 offthe 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 theHouse of Wolvesexpansionoffered 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 whenThe Taken Kingwas 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 withHouse 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 witha max-Light Fatebringer again.
Bungie is revealing a number of the exotics coming with the April Update via the officialDestinyInstagram. We will continue to update the list as more are posted.
As for the Legendary weapons, the ones that have been confirmed are:
Both the Exotics and the Legendaries will only be obtainable from loot drops and by decrypting engrams. All of them will also have the ability to be Infused up to thenew 335 Light level cap.
The April Update is free for anyone withThe Taken Kingexpansion, and will be released April 12.
