Destiny 2 reveals Star Wars-themed gear coming in Renegades, and Titans can fly now

Renegades is the next chapter in The Fate Saga of Destiny 2, but also an official collaboration with Lucasfilm Games to deliver a story inspired by Star Wars. Apart from characters and locations, a bunch of loot is coming our way, including weapons and Exotic armor.

On Nov. 4, Destiny 2 previewed seven weapons coming to the game in Renegades. Every weapon has its counterpart in the Star Wars universe. There’s a hand cannon resembling Han Solo’s DL-44 blaster, a pulse rifle designed after Boba Fett’s EE-3 rifle, and even Mando’s sniper rifle. There are also two Exotic weapons, including the previously revealed Praxic Blade and the Heirloom crossbow.

Apart from weapons, we also got an early look at Exotic armor and its features for all three classes. The highlight by far is Titan’s Praxic Vestment chest piece, which acts like a jetpack, giving Titans a tactical air move. It’s like Twilight Garrison from the original game, but better.

All Star Wars weapons coming to Destiny 2 in Renegades

Weapons in Renegades have a new heat system. They draw ammo straight from the reserves and build up heat when firing, which you have to vent out to prevent the weapon from overheating. The system is very similar to Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) and Star Wars: Battlefront II.

All heat weapons are split into two categories. Balanced heat weapons deal increased damage against powerful combatants and generate less heat. Dynamic heat weapons deal higher base damage but generate more heat. However, dynamic heat weapons also cool down more rapidly between shots.

Below you can find all the Star Wars-themed weapons as well as their Star Wars counterparts. Some of them will be available as destination weapons in the Lawless Frontier activity, while others will be available from other sources, like the campaign and the Equilibrium dungeon.

There’s a blaster for everyone among these weapons. While many eyes are on the Praxic Blade, there are a couple of other interesting weapons, like the Refurbished A499. It’s the first Legendary heavy sniper that also retained its features from the Mandalorian series. Unlike the rest of the Star Wars-themed arsenal, this is a Disruption weapon, which fires a single heavy-hitting round and disintegrates targets on impact.

Alongside new weapon types, there are also new perks to lean into the heat mechanic. Thermal Atomization, for example, deals increased damage and causes targets to explore when defeated while at high heat.

All Exotic armor coming to Destiny 2 in Renegades

As always with the new expansion, every class gets a new Exotic armor piece to alter their abilities and try out new playstyles.

Here’s all the Exotic armor revealed so far:

• Fortune’s Favor Exotic leg armor (Hunter): After landing a final blow at full health, or when out of combat for an extended duration, your shields will recharge into an overshield. When you have any overshield, your weapons gain increased accuracy, stability, handling, and damage against combatants, and final blows will grant a short period of increased mobility once the overshield is depleted.
• Praxic Vestment Exotic chest piece(Titan): Weapon and Arc-powered melee final blows build up Jetpack Fuel. Activate your jetpack while airborne with a forceful blast of exhausting Arc energy, then fly forward based on the amount charged. Collide with a combatant to unleash a blinding blast of energy and gain a temporary bonus to your melee stat.
• Deimosuffusion Exotic helmet (Warlock): While a Strand Super is equipped, casting Rift will suspend nearby combatants. Suspend deals damage over time, healing you in the process. Combatants who break free from suspension suffer additional damage. Defeating suspended targets heals you a moderate amount.

The Hunter Exotic appears to be a PvP-focused armor piece, allowing you to enter a duel with an overshield and get an increase in weapon accuracy and stability. Fortune’s Favor provides increased damage against combatants when you have an overshield, but we’ll have to wait until Renegades comes out to see how good that is inside of PvE.

Titans got the most fun Exotic out of the three classes. The aerial gameplay around Arc melees could bring back the Arc Titan meta from Episode Heresy. At the same time, Praxic Vestment may also work just as well on Prismatic when paired with Knockout and Diamond Lance Apsects.

Warlocks are not falling too far behind. While casting rifts isn’t the most fun thing in the game, the big question is whether Deimosuffusion improves suspend from all sources, including abilities like Shackle Grenades, Mindspun Invocation Aspect, or the Wish-Keeper Exotic bow. If that’s the case, this Exotic can be a fantastic pick for endgame content, combining both damage and survivability.
