Destiny 2 might still be in the midst of its first Season of Year 2 but that hasn’t stopped players from speculating at what is right around the corner. Players know that the Black Armory DLC is set to launch in December and with it is said to be new gear to collect and new activities to experience.

Since Bungie is still trying to work all of the kinks out of Destiny 2: Forsaken’s main content, the studio hasn’t shed much light on what Black Armory will include. However, a recent leak claims that the add-on could include some fan-favorite exotics.

According to two separate leaks (since removed from Reddit), the Black Armory DLC will feature the return of the Last Word exotic hand cannon, the Icebreaker exotic sniper rifle, and the Thunderlord exotic heavy machine gun.

The two leakers, JordanWrightFilm and Anonthenine, have correctly revealed info before and so they at least have a track record of being right. Still, this latest leak should be treated as a rumor, and an unsubstantiated one at that.

At the same time, it seems practically a given that Bungie will bring The Last Word into Destiny 2 after receiving so many fan requests to do so. The gun's Fan Fire perk has also appeared in the Destiny 2 database when Forsaken's files went live, but no weapon has yet to take advantage of the fast-firing ability.

Icebreaker filled a similar role for PvE players, helping them complete tough challenges with its never-ending pool of ammo. Unfortunately, Ice Breaker was also hit by nerfs and became less popular.

And considering Thunderlord was one of Destiny 1’s most popular heavy machine guns and the weapon class is making a comeback with Black Armory, it seems a reasonable guess that it might return.

That’s all to say that this rumor could be as much of an educated guess and it is a leak. Destiny and Destiny 2 have fallen prey to rumors that are purely wish fulfillment and this sounds like one of those. However, Bungie has been pretty keen in granting fans’ wishes as of late, so maybe there is hope for a return of Last Word.

Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
