Moon’s haunted, you’ve possible heard, and in Destiny 2‘s Shadowkeep expansion we’re despatched to bust these ghosts. I am keen on the instruments we wield to do this. A brand new set of Shadowkeep weapons salvages chunky classic lunar {hardware} from the golden age of humanity and purifies it with magic rituals, leaving weapons bristling with magical talismans. These are the weapons I must pop phantoms and steal their treasure. I’m delighted.
Destiny’s Moon is dwelling to one thing actually named the “Hellmouth” which spews out Hive, an alien species who acquire nice energy by means of homicide, ritual magic, and supernatural parasitic worms. In Shadowkeep, the Moon turns into much more cursed. Fight wizards with wizards, I all the time say.
Shadowkeep’s new ‘Dreambane’ weapons and armour just do that. They’re gained by capturing moonmen and gathering ritual supplies then baking the lot in a spooky gun oven, a repeatable course of like Black Armory Forges or Menagerie runs. I’ve written before about how a lot I take pleasure in how Shadowkeep’s armour units combining spacesuits with magic, and now I’m enjoying it myself oh boy these weapons are even higher.
Consider the heartbeat rifle, Premonition. The base is a tattered gun from outdated moonfights we purify with knotted wire binding it, strings of angular metallic beads and charms, and what I believe are seed pods. A gun for killing ghosts on the moon.
The auto rifle, Arc Logic, provides to the classic lunar {hardware} really feel with a great layer of insulation tape. Then wrap spherical concentric rings of small beads, but extra wire and charms, and some monster tooth – one with a crystal jammed into the cavity, simply because.
I do like when Dreambane weapons are wrapped two methods, with insulation tape holding their bodily kind and twine binding their essence.
Perhaps my favorite is the hand cannon, Loud Lullaby. It was a clunky tape-wrapped lump of a revolver even earlier than the ritual, then we go to city with beads, charms, and half a chicken. That’s a magic gun alright. Good interlocking doodads on the cylinder too.
A particular point out goes to Night Terror, which possible wasn’t even initially a weapon. Any climbing axe can turn out to be a sword in case you connect a blade with magic and a substantial amount of wire.
And there’s something hanging in regards to the assertion bangle strapped to the fusion rifle, Dream Breaker.
Anyway. I’ll not present you the total set. Expect extra tape, tooth, feathers, and beads.
I haven’t seen sufficient Dreambane rolls to get a great sense of whether or not the weapons are even that good however I’m definitely on the hunt for a pleasant Loud Lullaby.
Shadowkeep launched on Tuesday. The base game additionally went free-to-play then, providing a gert large lump of MMOFPS totally free. It’s all on Steam now.
