Destiny 2’s Hung Jury SR4 returns with Season of the Splicer: What veterans need to know
The Legendary Comeback
Destiny 2’s Season of the Splicer marks a triumphant return for several iconic weapons from the original Destiny, with Bungie carefully curating a selection of 12 Legendary arms for Guardians to rediscover. The loot distribution spans across core activities: four weapons each for Gambit, Crucible, and Strikes, including three firearms that haven’t been available since 2014.
Leading this arsenal renaissance is the Hung Jury SR4, a Scout Rifle that dominated the meta during Destiny’s Taken King era. Its Dead Orbit pedigree and exceptional damage profile made it a must-have for serious Guardians during the franchise’s early years.
What set the original Hung Jury apart was its game-changing perk combination: Firefly caused precision kills to trigger explosive AoE damage, while Triple Tap refunded ammo for sustained DPS. This synergy created unparalleled versatility, making the weapon equally deadly in raid encounters and Crucible matches.
Weapon Acquisition Guide
Securing the new Hung Jury requires strategic Nightfall participation. Bungie has implemented a weekly rotation system where each Strike-related Legendary gets featured – meaning patience and timing are key. Pro tip: Monitor the weekly reset thread on r/DestinyTheGame to plan your farming sessions.
Difficulty scaling significantly impacts your rewards. While base-level Nightfalls can drop the weapon, higher tiers (especially Master and Grandmaster) dramatically improve your chances for enhanced perks. A common mistake is rushing into high-difficulty content unprepared – ensure your Power Level meets requirements and bring appropriate Champion mods.

Advanced Tactics
For PVE enthusiasts, prioritize perks that enhance add-clear potential like Dragonfly (successor to Firefly) or Rapid Hit for stability. PVP players should hunt for Moving Target or Killing Wind to maximize dueling potential. Remember: the Destiny 2 version may have different perk pools than the original.
Grandmaster Nightfalls unlock on June 22, offering Adept versions with additional stat bonuses. Preparation is crucial: stock up on upgrade materials, coordinate with your fireteam, and practice the Strike mechanics at lower difficulties first. The Adept Hung Jury could become this season’s ultimate flex for dedicated Guardians.
