The official Lightfal trailer showcased epic Strand action scenes and skills for each Destiny 2 class. The Bungie team was very cautious about the new expansion details they shared so far. But the veil of secrecy was lifted, and guardians now can hunt the new exotic weapons and armor. Time to put the new Lightfall guns to use and fight against the darkness in the continuation of the story known as The Light and Dark saga.
Lightfall is a new expansion for Bungie’s looter-shooter game that will follow the story from the previous DLC, the Witch Queen. This time players will be able to explore the Neptune area called Neomuna. We have little information about the area itself, but from the Trailers, it looks like a sizable area we haven’t seen before. The story will be a continuation of the Dark and Light saga, thus introducing the new sub-class Strand.
Lightfall Exotic Weapons and Gear
Firstly, let’s take a look at the new amazing-looking exotic weapons. To see the tooltips hover over the links or tap them once on mobile.
Lightfall Exotic Weapons
All Lightfall exotic weapons are:
