Destiny 2 Season Of The Witch : Release Date, Leaks, Raid, Story, Weapons, Armor

Destiny 2 Season 22 is called Season of the Witch. Watch the launch trailer below. 

The wait is almost over! Bungie will finally reveal Season 22 at the showcase, and the new season will go live not long after. We will be here to update this page with all the bits and pieces, so sit back and relax as we compile all the latest D2 news for you. 

Bungie has finally revealed the full Season 22 armor set ahead of its launch. The Witch-Queen-inspired armor set also confirms the theme of the new season. 

In an extensive blog post, Bungie breaks down all the weapon changes coming to Destiny 2 Season 22. From Exotic reworks to new catalysts, Destiny 2 weapons are getting a new life in Season 22. 

Yet more confirmations of the rumoured leaks relating o the reprised Raid coming to Destiny 2 in Season 22.

Bungie is adding a new Exotic Mission Rotator in Season 22. The rotation will include missions like Dead Man's Tale, Vox Obscura, and Operation: Seraph’s Shield.

Bungie is adding three new Strand Aspects in Season 22. These are Whirling Maelstrom for Hunter, Banner of War for Titans, and Weavewalk for Warlocks.

In its latest blog post, Bungie has revealed a host of new quality-of-life changes coming to Destiny 2 in Season 22. 

• Cosmetic favoriting 

  • At long last, you’ll be able to pin up to 100 of your favorite shaders, ornaments, and emotes to the top of the list starting in Season 22. 

• Stasis Aspects and Fragments moved to vendor system 

  • Any character who has completed the Beyond Light campaign will be able to acquire all available Stasis Aspects and Fragments from Elsie Bray on Europa starting next Season. 

• Transmats will now be unlocks 

  • Like shaders before them, transmats will now be stored as unlocks on your account, rather than consumable items. Feel free to change transmats at will without needing to grab copies from Collections or find them in the wild. 

• Wish-Ender pursuit improvements 

  • The Wish-Ender quest has gone through a number of changes throughout the years, and in Season 22, it becomes a real quest. No more charged or uncharged discs sitting in your inventory – just a single quest strand in your quest log. 

• Resources tab added to Collections 

  • This is a change we are really excited about – we now have a Resources tab in the Collections, which shows you all of the currencies, upgrade materials, and engrams in the game, appropriately categorized, with information on how to acquire it, as well as what to do with it once you have it. 

• Iron Banner Challenges split 

  • With Pinnacle rewards not being as big of a draw as they once were Season-over-Season since Season of the Deep began, we felt it was time to split the Pinnacle acquisition and reputation multipliers we added back in Season of the Haunted.  

  • Starting in Season 22, Iron Banner will have two different stacking challenges each day: one for players who just want their reputation multiplier which does not require using specific Seasonal subclasses, and one for players who are going after their Pinnacle rewards, which does require using Seasonal subclasses. 

• Ritual Rank Ups immediately

  • Dating all the way back to Season 3, ritual reputations (previously known as Valor, Glory, and Infamy) waited until you hit orbit to process any rank-ups, because the almost-full screen banner would overwrite the scoreboard if it showed up earlier. When we revamped and streamlined reputations over the past few years, we moved the rank-up banner to the bottom of the screen and made them less conspicuous, but we left the processing of the ranks until you hit orbit. Now we’ve finally taken the step and made the rank-up process immediately at the end of an activity. No more waiting for your rewards... now they’ll show up right away in your loot stream. 

Bungie is overhauling Crucible in Season 22 with a brand new Vex-themed map, two new game modes, and many other minor changes. Gambit, on the other hand, is becoming optional, so you won't have to play it to complete your weekly challenges. Click here to read about all the PvP changes coming to Destiny 2 in Season 22. 

Bungie is finally increasing the inventory caps for masterwork items like Ascendant Shards and Enhancement Prisms. Starting with Season 22, players will be able to hold triple the amount of Ascendant Shards and Alloys and double the amount of Enhancement Prisms in their inventories. 

However, the company is also removing the option to store these masterwork materials at the Postmaster. This makes them more like Glimmers, which means, if a player reaches the max cap for these materials, they won't get any more until they have used the existing ones.

In its latest blog post, Bungie has revealed a list of weapons coming to Destiny 2 Season 22. These include brand new weapons like the Stasis SMG "Unending Tempest" as well as a a returning Hand Cannon with a new archetype. With that said, here are all the weapons confirmed for Season 22. 

• Crucible
  • Unending Tempest - Stasis Submachine Gun
• Strikes
  • Luna Regolith III - Solar Sniper Rifle
• Gambit
  • Qua Xaphan V - Void Machine Gun
• Nightfall
  • Warden's Law – Kinetic Hand Cannon
  • Pre Astyanax IV – Solar Precision Bow
• Iron Banner
  • The Guiding Sight – Strand Scout Rifle
  • Point of the Stag – Arc Bow
• Trials of Osiris
  • Igneous Hammer – Solar Hand Cannon
  • Cataphract GL3 - Strand Heavy Grenade Launche
