Destiny 2’s Shadowkeep and Forsaken weapons return with new perks in Season 13
Weapon Reintroduction Overview
Destiny 2’s Season 13 brings back a treasure trove of fan-favorite armaments as Bungie completes its reintroduction of Shadowkeep and Forsaken era weapons. This comprehensive restoration addresses one of the community’s biggest pain points from the Beyond Light expansion.
The July 6 update marks the final phase of weapon reissues, bringing back all remaining vaulted guns from these expansions with refreshed perk pools that include some of Destiny 2’s most sought-after traits.
The controversial sunsetting system implemented with Beyond Light dramatically reduced the game’s available arsenal, leaving Guardians with limited options. Bungie’s phased reintroduction strategy, beginning in Season of the Chosen, has systematically restored these weapons while ensuring they remain relevant in the current meta.
Shadowkeep Weapons Returning
The Moon arsenal makes its full return with nine weapons that now feature updated perk combinations. These lunar weapons are particularly valuable for PvE content, with several standing out as potential best-in-slot options:
- Tunnel Vision
- Kill Clip (new possible roll)
- Trench Barrel
- One-Two Punch (new possible roll)
Pro Tip: Focus on farming the Altars of Sorrow activity for efficient Moon weapon drops. The daily rotation determines which weapons have increased drop rates.
Forsaken Weapons Returning
While the Dreaming City’s returning arsenal is smaller, each weapon has been carefully selected for its unique potential in the current sandbox:
- Vorpal Weapon
- Snapshot Sights (new possible roll)
Common Mistake to Avoid: Don’t dismantle these weapons immediately if you get a mediocre roll. Wait for the July 6 update when all reissued versions will have the updated perk pools.
How to Acquire These Weapons
Optimization Tip: For maximum efficiency, combine your weapon farming with other activities:
- Complete Dreaming City weekly missions for Forsaken weapons
- Run Pit of Heresy dungeon for high-stat armor and Moon weapons
- Coordinate with clanmates to share checkpoints for targeted farming
Remember that all these weapons will be available starting July 6, when Bungie’s update goes live. The developer has hinted at additional surprises coming with this patch beyond just the weapon refresh.
