Classic Weapon Expected to Return in New Destiny 2 Content

Destiny 2 players are buzzing with speculation that the legendary hand cannon, The Palindrome, will return with the February launch of Episode: Heresy. This theory stems from a cryptic palindrome tweet from the official Destiny 2 Twitter account, mirroring the weapon's name and hinting at its comeback.

With Destiny 2's player base recently experiencing a downturn, many hope Episode: Heresy, the final episode before Codename: Frontiers, will reignite interest. Episode: Revenant, while reintroducing classic weapons like the Icebreaker, received mixed reviews due to a lackluster narrative and gameplay, leaving fans wanting more.

The February 4th launch of Episode: Heresy promises more classic weapon returns. The palindrome tweet, easily interpreted as a reference to The Palindrome, fuels fan excitement, though official confirmation is pending. While The Palindrome has appeared in Destiny 2 before, its previous iterations disappointed due to subpar perk combinations.

A More Powerful Palindrome?

This time, players hope for a more competitive perk pool, making The Palindrome a meta-defining weapon. Details on Episode: Heresy remain scarce, but its focus on the Hive and the Dreadnought – both beloved elements from the original Destiny – suggests more fan-favorite weapon returns are likely as the release date approaches.
