Destiny 2 Season of the Risen - All Weapons And How To Get

Destiny 2 fans have a lot to look forward to now that The Witch Queen and Season of the Risen have started. On top of new systems, a campaign, locations, and more, there are plenty of guns to chase.

Like with previous expansions, every activity has been refreshed with new loot, so let's take a look at all the weapons making their way to Destiny 2 with the release of both The Witch Queen and the start of Season 16.

Big shoutouts to Light.gg for providing detailed information regarding all Destiny 2 loot.

Most of the exotics can be obtained upon completing certain The Witch Queen missions. It's worth pointing out that Glaives are class-specific exotics, meaning you'll only get one depending on whether you're playing as a Warlock, Titan, or Hunter.
