Season of the Splicer has over 30 new and reprised Legendary weapons for players to chase. New weapons have been added to the world pool, core activities, and brought back from the original Destiny as Nightfall or raid weapons. Let's dig into what new weapons you can expect from the new seasonal activity, Vault of Glass raid, and Destiny's various core playlist activities.

Updated July 13th, 2021, by Charles Burgar: Season of the Splicer is winding down, although the loot chase has only just begun. Timelost weapons are now available from Master Vault of Glass, Adept weapons from GM Nightfalls are farmable, and Solstice of Heroes introduced a new Shotgun for Guardians to chase. We've updated this guide to include the new Compass Rose Shotgun. We've also reorganized the article to make it easier to find information about each weapon added this season. Enjoy!

Vault Of Glass Weapons

Destiny 2 Fatebringer

The Vault of Glass raid has returned in Season of the Splicer, bringing along its memorable encounters and sweet loot. If you missed out on this raid during the original Destiny, get ready to farm some devastating weapons.

Unfortunately, not every weapon from VoG has returned. Weapons like Atheon's Epilogue and Praedyth's Timepiece are not in Destiny 2. The weapons Bungie did bring back have the ability to roll two unique perks.

VoG Traits

Every weapon in Vault of Glass (excluding the Rocket Launcher) can roll with two new traits: Rewind Rounds and Firefly. Here's what they each do:

  • Rewind Rounds (Column 1): When this weapon's magazine is empty, it refills from reserves based on the number of hits.
  • Firefly (Column 2): Precision kills with this weapon increase reload speed and cause the target to explode, dealing Solar damage to nearby enemies.

Technically, Firefly isn't new—as it was Ace of Spades' non-Exotic trait. Nevertheless, this is the first time Firefly has appeared on Legendary weapons.

VoG Weapons

Core Activity And World Loot

Nightfalls have received three new weapons that rotate on a weekly basis, all of which are reprisals from the original Destiny.
