Blunderbuss Shotguns, lightning-infused Fusion Rifles, and weapons carved from the bones of slain Hive are just a few things you can expect this season. We'll be covering every weapon added in Season of the Plunder, including Exotics and upcoming King's Fall weapons.

New Exotics
Season of the Plunder contains two new Exotic weapons—three if you pre-ordered the Lightfall expansion. Delicate Tomb is a Season Pass Exotic that acts like a Rapid-Fire Frame Fusion Rifle. It has horizontal spread in hip-fire and vertical spread in ADS, and kills generate Ionic Traces which supercharge the gun. Quicksilver Storm is a 720 Auto Rifle that can turn into a Grenade Launcher if you land enough shots.
The third Exotic is Touch of Malice, a Rapid-Fire Scout Rifle that drains the user's life force to shoot additional, high-powered rounds. This weapon drops from the final boss in the King's Fall raid.
| Delicate Tomb | |
|---|---|
| Weapon Archetype | Fusion Rifle (500 Charge Time) |
| Damage | Arc |
| Exotic Perk | Traitor's Vessel: Fires a wide horizontal spread when shot from the hip. Final blows with this weapon have a chance to generate Ionic Traces. Powerful foes and opposing Guardians always generate Ionic Traces. |
| Trait | Tempest Cascade: Collecting an Ionic Trace overcharges this weapon's next shot, jolting targets on hit. |
| Quicksilver Storm | |
|---|---|
| Weapon Archetype | Auto Rifle (720 RPM) |
| Damage | Kinetic |
| Exotic Perk | Rocket Tracers: Landing multiple hits turns your next shot into a homing micro-rocket. |
| Trait | Grenade Chaser: Landing multiple rockets loads a grenade. Hold the reload key to switch into Grenade Launcher mode. |
| Touch Of Malice | |
|---|---|
| Weapon Archetype | Scout Rifle (260 RPM) |
| Damage | Kinetic |
| Exotic Perk | Touch of Malice: The final round in the magazine deals bonus damage, drawing from the wielder's life force, and then regenerates itself. Rapidly defeating three targets restores health. |
| Trait | Charged with Blight: Precision hits draw combatants' life force and charge up a ball of darkness. Hold the reload key to fire a blight projectile, shrouding combatants in darkness and temporarily blinding them. |

Bungie 30th Anniversary Weapon Refresh
All Legendary weapons tied to the Dares of Eternity activity may now be crafted at the Enclave, allowing these weapons to use Enhanced Traits for the first time. Each weapon has received a new Origin Trait: Hot Swap. Switching to the weapon while damaged strongly increases its handling for a short duration. Swords gain charge speed and guard buffs instead.
Some new perks that can roll on these weapons include:
- Gutshot Straight: Aiming down sights increases body shot damage, decreases target acquisition.
- Pugilist: Final blows with this weapon generate melee energy. Dealing melee damage briefly improves the weapon's handling.
Some fan favorite perks like Incandescent and Chain Reaction may now roll on some of these weapons as well. Check out light.gg for a comprehensive breakdown of their new perk pools. We'll have a guide showcasing their new god rolls in the near future.
