Are the new Season of the Wish weapons good?

It’s all well and good having new weapons entering the fray, but do these Ahamkara themed guns make for worthy rewards for Guardians? So far, they certainly seem to be.

The Wish weapons boast some strong individual stats, and a number of them have wide perk pools, with the potential for some deadly rolls. Want a shotgun with Reconstruction and Hatchling on it to complete your PvP Strand build? Its an option if you get lucky with or craft a roll of Supercluster.

All the Wish Weapons come with the new Dragon’s Vengence Origin Trait perk, too. Dragon’s Vengeance activates when an ally dies or your shield breaks and you fall to critical health. When either happens, your magazine refills, and the weapon gains bonus range, charge rate, and handling.

Destiny 2 Season of the Wish exotic weapons – what are they and how can you get them?

There are two weapons we know about coming with Season 23 right now, although it’s not impossible this list could expand later on given how long the season will be running for. They are:

• Dragon’s Breath – A returning D1 weapon.
• Wish-Keeper – A new Strand bow.

Dragon’s Breath

Dragon’s Breath will be familiar to Destiny 1 players. This Solar rocket launcher has been reworked heavily, though. It’s Composite Propellent intrinsic trait allows it to build up incendiary fuel between firing. Rockets then embed into targets, inflicting continuous Scorch. It’s second exotic perk, High Octane replenishes extra fuel when a target Ignites. It can also refill itself from reserves when it reaches maximum fuel.

Dragon’s Breath is pretty easy get. You can pick it up at different ranks in the Season of the Wish season pass. If you have the paid track, you can pick it up at rank one. If you’re on the free track, it’s at rank 35. Completing seasonal challenges is the quickest way to grind out levels on the pass. There’s also a pretty cool ornament to unlock for it at the final level of the paid track.

Wish-Keeper

Wish-Keeper is the other named exotic we currently know to expect this season. It’s a Strand bow, and should prove pretty popular in PvE. The weapon’s exotic perk, Snareweaver, builds up a charge on precision final blows towards a hip-fired Snareweaver Arrow which creates traps and Suspends targets on impact. It’s second intrinsic trait, Silkbound Slayer, allows the weapon to deal bonus damage to Suspended targets.

Wish-Keeper will be arriving in its very own exotic mission later in the season, on December 19. While details about the mission are scarce, we do know that it’ll be taking place in the Black Garden, and likely tie into the ongoing narrative of Season of the Wish.

Destiny 2 Season of the Wish Warlord’s Ruin dungeon weapons

On December 1, we’ll be seeing the new dungeon for Season of the Wish: Warlord’s Ruin. While we currently don’t know anything about the dungeon, we do know it’ll have some sweet new weapons and armor, including a third exotic. We do know exactly one thing about the Warlord’s Ruin weapons though: The dungeon is going to include our first rocket sidearm, a new sidearm archetype that fires micro-rockets, first announced in the Destiny 2 2023 showcase.

There’s a lot of possibilities here. Warlord is a title associated with a few different characters in the game. Some have speculated we might be returning to a Warmind Bunker and uncovering the legacy of Rasputin. Others are putting their money on Felwinter’s involvement. There’s even the potential that we might be getting a dungeon revolving around Shaxx, who went by the Warlord title long ago. Once we have answers, we’ll be sure to update you.

Our advice for getting Destiny 2 Season of the Wish weapons fast

For Wish Weapons and Undying Weapons, your fastest way to acquire them is to trade in Wish Engrams with the seasonal vendor, the Spirit of Riven. These engrams are earnt through levelling up vendor ranks and acquiring vendor XP, as well as completing seasonal activities like The Coil or Riven’s Lair. Any engrams you earn during these will be stored at the vendor.

To speed up the process, we recommend collecting and completing bounties, and completing as many seasonal challenges as possible each week. This will earn you a lot of bonus experience, which translates to more goodies at the Spirit of Riven. If you have enough engrams, you can also focus them for specific guns or weapons in specific groups.

Did you know?

With 2 engrams, you can focus for a type of roll, such as a weapon, or a piece of armor. With 4 engrams, you can focus for a specific piece of gear, such as a particular gun or a class item.

For any other weapon, it mostly comes down to just playing the associated activity and getting lucky. Don’t forget though that there’s now more focusing than ever. This season you can finally focus competitive PvP weapons, so if you’re still hunting for a Mercurial Overreach god roll, you might be in luck.

That covers the Destiny 2 Season of the Wish weapons, what they are, and how you can get your hands on them. There are plenty of other great weapons worth getting out there though. If you’ve still not picked up Quicksilver Storm, Wicked Implement, or Ex Diris and want to know how to get them, we’ve got you covered.
