Eunoia – Warlock Exotic Solar gauntlets

Bungie had three new Exotic armor pieces to demonstrate during the livestream. Up first was the Warlocks’ Eunoia, a pair of gauntlets designed to boost the Hellion Prismatic Aspect. Hellion allows you to generate a Solar Soul with your class ability, which follows you around, shooting fireballs at enemies. Eunoia turns the Solar Souls fireballs into exploding mortar shells, which burst on impact and send out seeking projectiles to chase down more enemies.

Moirai – Hunter Exotic Strand chest armor

For Hunters, there’s Moirai, which amplifies melee builds that focus on Tangles. With Moirai, you can throw your Strand melee, Threaded Spike, at a Tangle to detonate it to do damage to nearby enemies, and then yank the Tangle back to you like a yo-yo. Grabbing Tangles from the field this way makes it easy to throw them into the fray or use them as grapple points.

Melas Panoplia – Titan Exotic Solar gauntlets

The Exotic for Titans powers up your Solar Throwing Hammer melee. The gauntlets give you a buff called Forge Master whenever you grab a Firesprite or land Solar final blows. When you throw your hammer while Forge Master is active, you can call it back to you, Thor-style. If you time your press on the retrieve button correctly, the hammer will also trigger an explosion that sets enemies ablaze while extending the duration of Forge Master.

New Archetype – Legendary Heavy bow

Bungie is throwing several new types of weapons into the loot pool in The Edge of Fate. First up is a new Legendary heavy weapon: the crossbow. These are slow-firing, powerful bows that deal high damage but carry limited ammo. In PvP, you can expect the crossbow to one-shot opponents with a headshot, and in PvE, you can slam bolts into enemies for big precision damage. While you won’t carry many crossbow bolts, you can retrieve the ones you hit enemies with, potentially making this an infinite-ammo heavy weapon. Instead of magazine perks, crossbows will have different bolt types; exploding bolts blow up after a short time when they hit enemies, while serrated bolts deal damage to opponents when you retrieve them after landing a shot.

New Archetype – Spreadshot hand cannon

Bungie described this new hand cannon archetype as having similarities to a sawed-off shotgun–big damage up close, but serious spread at any real distance. The spreadshot fires projectiles that can do significant damage, provided you land the whole blast. Accordingly, you can expect this hand cannon to two-tap opponents in PvP, but like shotguns, they’ll need to get up close and personal to pull off those kills. In PvE, these hand cannons seem like they’ll make clearing small enemies pretty quick and efficient.

New Archetype – Rocket-assisted pulse rifle

Pulses are getting an upgrade along the same lines sidearms did. Rocket-assisted pulse rifles fire slower projectiles that deal high damage, just like rocket sidearms do. The latter guns have become some of the best in Destiny 2, so it seems like these powerful special pulse rifles have a lot of potential in any build. The drawback is that rocket-assisted pulse rifles will have low ammo reserves and chew through bullets pretty quickly, so you’ll need to specialize your build to keep your ammo reserves high, or keep a constant eye out for special ammo bricks. Bungie said these fit somewhere between a linear fusion rifle and a sniper rifle, in terms of their use in combat situations and the damage they can put on enemies.

New Archetype – Longbow

If you wanted a bow that was even slower than a precision bow, but altogether more powerful, good news: The longbow archetype takes longer to draw but hits harder than current bows, and intrinsically over-penetrates targets. That means if you fully draw a longbow shot and line up small enemies like Thralls, you can pop several of them with a single arrow. Surely someone out there both enjoys using bows and wants an even slower one.

Artifact Mod – Anti-Champion Mods

Bungie detailed quite a few mods for the seasonal artifact, the Implement of Curiosity, that players will nab at the start of The Edge of Fate. While there are more interesting items on the list, the Champion-killing mods for the season are: Anti-barrier Scout and Pulse, Unstoppable Sidearm and Hand Cannon, Overload Shotgun, and Overload Rapid Fire.

Creating a Tangle by defeating a Strand debuffed target suspends nearby combatants.
