Leaked Destiny 2 Season of the Deep Exotics Reveal Weapon and Armor Changes

The upcoming Destiny 2 Season of the Deep is rumored to include major changes to more than a dozen Exotic weapons, according to leaks shared by the Bungie_Leaks Twitter account. Bungie’s March 30 “This Week at Bungie” post also mentioned buffs and adjustments to weapons such as Graviton Lance and Salvation’s Grip, which were cited in the leaks.

Among the leaked information is a possible end to the current Power system, potentially replaced by a 0-100 score shared across the entire Fireteam. However, this change may not be implemented in Season 21.

According to the leaks, Salvation’s Grip will now shoot regular explosive grenades in its uncharged mode, while its charged mode will release Stasis crystals. The Graviton Lance, on the other hand, will have an increased rate of fire, matching Revision Zero’s two-shot burst, and the damage between the two shots will be equalized.

For the Eyes of Tomorrow, ammo will be refunded if players lock onto and kill four targets in a single volley. The Worldline Zero’s Tesseract ability will be chainable into itself, and Tommy’s Matchbook will be updated to scorch targets while overheated when the Catalyst is installed.

The leaks also suggest Exotic armor overhauls for Warlock, Titan, and Hunter armor pieces:

Warlocks

• Astrocyte Burst: Small suppressing burst created upon Blinking.
• Chromatic Fire: Explosions apply subclass keyword effects, e.g., Scorch for Solar, Volatile for Void, etc.
• Claws of Ahamkara: Orb spawned on Power from powered melee kills.
• Dawn Chorus: Daybreak projectiles Scorch on impact and deal increased damage to Scorched targets.
• Mantle of Battle Harmony: Removal of stacking damage buff.

• Stronghold: Restoration provided after blocking damage with a sword.

Hunters

• Arthrys’s Embrace: Weighted Knife energy granted on rapid precision hits.
• Mask of Bakris: Increased damage bonus but no longer stacking with damage surge mods.

• Sealed Ahamkara Grasps: Reload of all weapons matching subclass on powered melee kills, with a temporary increase in movement and jump speed.

Keep in mind that these leaked changes are not yet confirmed by Bungie and could be subject to change before the Season of the Deep’s official launch. Stay tuned for updates and official announcements from Bungie regarding these potential Exotic overhauls.
