Destiny 2 Teases Return of a Classic Weapon in Episode: Heresy

by

Fans of Destiny 2 are speculating that the renowned hand cannon The Palindrome could return with the release of Episode: Heresy in February, hinted by a cryptic tweet from the official Destiny 2 Twitter account. With Destiny 2 experiencing one of its lowest player counts and retention levels to date, many fans are hoping that Bungie has been holding back the most anticipated episode for last, with Episode: Heresy potentially revitalizing the game before the upcoming content drop, tentatively named Codename: Frontiers, later this year.

As Destiny 2 nears the conclusion of its second season, known as Episode: Revenant, Bungie has already begun tantalizing fans with hints about the game’s upcoming significant content update. However, Episode: Revenant didn’t receive the acclaim Bungie had anticipated, as many players expressed dissatisfaction with both the storyline and the gameplay content, which left them unenthused about the current state of the MMORPG. Nevertheless, Episode: Revenant did bring a bit of variety to the game’s arsenal by reintroducing several classic weapons, including the legendary Icebreaker exotic sniper rifle, a throwback from the original Destiny.

It appears, as anticipated, that Bungie plans to reintroduce additional iconic weapons for players in Heresy, due on February 4th. A rather mysterious post on the official Destiny 2 team’s Twitter account was soon deciphered as a palindrome – a term for words that read the same forwards and backwards. Notably, The Palindrome is also the name of a legendary hand cannon that has been featured across the series since the original Destiny. Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, fans speculate that this message implies the return of The Palindrome to Destiny 2 along with the launch of Episode: Heresy.

The Return of The Palindrome Should Be a More Triumphant One This Time

In Destiny 2 before, players have managed to acquire this iconic hand cannon on previous occasions. However, since the release of The Witch Queen expansion in 2022, it has been absent from the game’s rotation. Although it was once a formidable weapon in PvP, its return in Destiny 2 more recently hasn’t met with much enthusiasm among fans because of the unappealing perks connected to the hand cannon.

Enthusiasts are anticipating that the upcoming version of Palindrome might include a broader range of “self-referential” benefits. Details about the next installment of Destiny 2 are still scarce, other than it centering around the Hive and the Dreadnought, another iconic element from the original game. However, as the launch date approaches, there’s a good chance Bungie will reveal the return of several popular weapons fans adore.
