While the new Episode packs a lot right off the bat, there is more set to come during its duration, and Destiny 2 gameplay leaks reveal some new Heresy weapons set to arrive, including the return of a fan-favorite from D1.

Destiny 2 Episode Heresy weapons leak include New Land Beyond

According to Bungie_Leaks, Bungie is bringing No Land Beyond to Destiny 2, albeit with the name, New Land Beyond. No Land Beyond was a fan-favorite Exotic sniper rifle in D1, so it’s return will very much be welcomed.

Bungie_Leaks shared lore for the weapon, along with the updated description: “Every hit blazes the path to our reclamation.”

Better than any words, gameplay of the returning Exotic has also leaked online via Kanye4King. They have uploaded close to 20-seconds of the New Land Beyond, and you can check it out below:

In addition to the New Land Beyond, Kanye4King has also shared leaked gameplay for a new Exotic weapon, Barrow-Dyad. Kanye4King’s description says it has the following two Exotic traits:

  • Taken Resolution:
    • Hitting three different targets generates a large amount of blight. Blighted Seekers bore through targets.
  • Taken Ambition:
    • Blight generated increases the longer this weapon remains on a target. Blighted Seekers burrow into targets and explode.

The video’s description also says the above traits “correspond to the Path of Resolve and datamined Path of Ambition that will become available later. These paths are how you unlock these traits, hence the line ‘this weapon resonates with your choices’.
