Closing out The Witch Queen's year of content was the jam-packed Season of the Seraph which gave Guardians plenty to play through as they prepared for the launch of Destiny 2's Lightfall expansion. Alongside the new Heist Battlegrounds to its gorgeous cinematic finale, Season 19 shared with players a new Exotic Quest aboard the Orbital Seraph Station.
Successfully completing this mission high above Earth's atmosphere rewarded players with Destiny 2's Revision Zero, a Kinetic pulse rifle with a unique perk called Hunter's Trace that allows it to swap scopes into a pseudo-sniper rifle. While it was a fun and interesting new take on what an Exotic weapon could be, Revision Zero didn't stand out as a major player in Witch Queen's meta. However, the buffs in the latest update bring Revision Zero into the limelight for the first time. Read More…
