Destiny 2 is bringing back 12 fan favorite guns, including monsters like The Recluse and Luna's Howl, and a meme that could now be OP

pcgamer.com:

One of the defining attributes of a Destiny 2 lifer is the ability to get excited about shooting old guns with new perks. Last week, we found out that the free Into The Light update, aimed at keeping players occupied until the June 4 release of The Final Shape expansion, will include a new horde mode called Onslaught. Today, as part of another livestream, Bungie revealed the loot on offer, which comprises a dozen fan favourite weapons reprised with a sexy new paint job and perk combos. And although I've shot quite literally hundreds of thousands of aliens with these guns, you'd better believe I am ready to shoot some more.

First, some important housekeeping about how the 'Brave' guns, for that is what the set is called, will be acquired when Into The Light drops on April 9. A new social space called the Hall of Champions is being added to The Tower (which I presume you can fast travel to much like Xur's area from the 30th Anniversary pack.) The Hall of Champions looks like a longhouse ripped from Valhalla, and is where Lord Shaxx will hold court, serving as the Onslaught vendor with his own bounties and rank-up rewards. 

Of those, the most notable reward is the return of the Superblack shader. I've written before about how much Destiny 2 players have demanded an all-black shader, and this one will finally enable them to go full edgelord. In addition to the Brave weapons, you'll also be able to acquire a set of Parade Armor 2.0 which was inspired by gear from year one of vanilla Destiny 2. Very nice they look too, although I would have paid an indecent amount of Silver for the OG Speaker cloaks from Destiny 1 (but that's another article).

In order to unlock each Brave weapon so that it will start dropping from chests, you'll need to complete a quest from Arcite 99-40. Each weapon will have a natural drop (which works like any other gun in Destiny 2), and a limited edition drop. 

Some curated roles will feature perks that weren't around when the gun was originally
