When it comes to Destiny 2’s Final Shape expansion, a surefire way to enhance the player experience is by introducing top-tier Exotic weaponry that continues to captivate long after the expansion's linear content is completed. While it's expected that the upcoming expansion will bring new Exotic weapons, there's an opportunity for Bungie to elevate the game with these additions.

Firstly, beyond the weapons that have already made the leap, there are numerous Exotic weapons from the original Destiny that should arguably find their way into Destiny 2. Additionally, drawing inspiration from other shooters could lead to the introduction of innovative Exotic weapons for the Final Shape expansion.

Classic Exotic Weapons That Should Return

Ice Breaker and Invective

These two Exotics from the original Destiny share a unique ability to passively regenerate ammo into their magazines. The Invective, a shotgun with infinite ammo, could be a game-changer in Destiny 2’s Crucible, while the Ice Breaker, a sniper rifle with infinite ammo, could prove extremely valuable across all in-game content.

Patience And Time

This Exotic sniper rifle grants players Invisibility while aiming-down-sights, offering a strategic advantage for solo endgame content and various PvP modes.

Super Good Advice

Refunding missed shots, this Exotic machine gun could find its place in Destiny 2’s PvP, where accuracy is paramount, especially for heavy weapons.

Potential Additions from Other Shooters

Buddy Bot (Roboquest)

This weapon from Roboquest allows players to deploy it as a sentry gun, offering a fresh gameplay element that could complement Destiny 2’s existing arsenal.

Infinity (Borderlands Franchise)

While not the most potent in damage, the concept of a weapon with a bottomless magazine could provide an interesting buildcrafting tool in Destiny 2, catering to all character classes.

The Nemesis (Tom Clancy’s: The Division 2)

With the ability to charge each bullet for increased damage, this sniper rifle presents a unique mechanic that could diversify the Exotic weapon pool in Destiny 2.
