The Lightfall expansion forDestiny 2is highly anticipated by fans of the game. The recent trailer has only heightened the excitement with its glimpses of new weapons that seem to follow in the footsteps of the Witch Queen’s throne world weapons. These weapons feature neon purple patterns and seem perfectly in line with the themes of Neomuna and Lightfall as a whole. Much likeDestiny 2’s previous expansion, The Witch Queen, Lightfall will have its own selection of new weapons with new perks and traits for players to hunt and hoard.
Previously, theWitch Queen’s throne world weaponswere destination-specific guns only available in the throne world destination ofDestiny 2. These weapons were highly sought after by players due to their unique visual designs and unique traits. The Lightfall expansion seems to continue this trend by introducing new destination-specific weapons that are similarly themed. Part of the allure of these themed weapons will undoubtedly be the patterned versions of these guns that players will be able to craft themselves after enough collecting.
