Heresy marks the final episode of Destiny 2’s
Light and Dark saga, wrapping up loose ends related to the Hive pantheon. While you’re exploring Oryx’s derelict Dreadnaught and defeating minions of the Darkness, you’ll be expanding your arsenal of weapons with some downright heretical additions.

Destiny 2: The Best Hunter Builds For PvP And PvE
Wield the Light and Dark with equal mastery with these devastating Hunter builds.
Wield a Strand Support AR that Unravels allies, unleash lightning strikes with an Area Denial Grenade Launcher, or farm for a reprised variant of the iconic Fatebringer. There is no shortage of good weapons this season. Today, we’ll be giving an overview of every new weapon you can expect to find in Heresy, including every new Exotic weapon and playlist reward.
New Exotics
Episode: Heresy has four new Exotics to chase, two of which are currently obtainable. Lodestar is Destiny’s first Trace Rifle to use Primary ammo, building up Arc energy as you damage targets. Once charged, hold the reload key to infuse this weapon with Jolt ammo. You can find this weapon in the Season Pass reward track.
Finality’s Augur is a Linear Fusion Rifle that can deploy Ruinscribe Turrets. Each turret will paint targets with a laser before unleashing a barrage of powerful munitions. You can get this weapon from the new Sundered Doctrine dungeon.
Two more Exotics are up for grabs later this season: the Barrow-Dyad SMG and an unknown Exotic. Barrow-Dyad is a Strand SMG that passively regenerates ammunition while in use. Dealing damage escalates a blight meter that, when charged, unleashes Blight Seekers at targets. This should be obtainable through Act 3’s Exotic mission. The last Exotic is currently unknown.

Ruinscribe’s Forge: Hold reload to fire a special projectile that deploys a Ruinscribe Turret. Aim the projectile skyward to provide the clearest sight lines for the turret, which will automatically shoot at nearby targets. |
|
Trait |
Ruinscribe’s Beacon: While a Ruinscribe Turret is deployed, this weapon can paint targets with its laser projectiles. Turrets prioritize painted targets; this weapon fires more powerful munitions against painted targets. |
Seasonal Weapons
Ten weapons can be found through Heresy’s new seasonal content, notably the Nether activity aboard the Dreadnaught. Six of the ten weapons are currently available. The remaining weapons will be slowly released over the next two Acts.
Willing Vessel Origin Trait
Dealing damage or defeating targets with this weapon gradually grants increased stability, handling, reload speed, and charge rate. This effect gradually decays over time, but it is gained more quickly while near allies.
Heresy’s seasonal weapons can also roll with the Runneth Over origin trait from King’s Fall, allowing you to overflow the magazine by reloading near allies.

Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Weapons
Sundered Doctrine is a new dungeon that will become available to Dungeon Key holders on Friday, February 7. Players will delve into the depths of Rhulk’s derelict ship to uncover some ancient secrets and rewards, including four new Legendary weapons and an Exotic. We’ll update this section with all new dungeon weapons once they become obtainable later this week.

Vault Of Glass Reissue
Vault of Glass
is the first raid to be reprised in Destiny 2, dating itself back to Season of the Splicer from Year 4. The sandbox has seen some major changes since then, but thanks to a recent perk refresh, the Vault of Glass weapons can now hang with Destiny 2’s meta choices. All VoG weapons were reissued with new perk pools, crafting patterns, and an exclusive origin trait. No weapons had their damage types or base frames changed.
Timelost Magazine Origin Trait
Final blows with this weapon grant bonus Super energy. When your Super expires, this weapon’s magazine size is doubled for a long duration and reloads from reserves.

This season’s ritual weapon is Resounding, a Strand Fusion Rifle that’s categorized as an Aggressive Frame. Bungie changed Aggressives this season to fire in three-round bursts, similar to how 
Bastion
works. Projectiles are spread horizontally on this weapon, so you’ll want to be up close to get the most out of it.
