The latest Destiny 2 update trailer is mostly about a weapon we knew was coming back – and it also basically confirms that Thorn will return in the Season of the Drifter. Before that, however, we’re finally getting the quest that’ll let us claim the Last Word in Destiny 2.
On January 29 – that’s tomorrow – the Draw Exotic quest goes live in Destiny 2, which will finally finish off your path to get the Last Word. The trailer provides our first real look at the weapon and what it’s capable of. Judging by the flurry of shots and takedowns we see, it’ll be capable of a three-tap kill on just about anyone in PvP.
That trailer ends with the message that “every hero needs a villain” as a series of corrupted bullets strike a wall – indicating that Thorn is set to return soon. Dredgen Yor used Thorn to kill Jaren Ward, the Guardian who held the Last Word, and Ward’s protege Shin Malphur took up the weapon to kill Yor in turn – which is how these hand cannons are tied together in the lore.
