New Witch Queen Trailer Showcases Weapon Crafting And New Exotics Coming To Destiny 2
It seems last weekend's leaked gameplay footage has turned out to be true. Today's new gameplay trailer reveals the new Exotic weapons and armors coming in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, as well as tantalizing new details on weapon crafting and the all-new Glaive.
The exact mechanism for crafting remains shrouded in mystery (and involves a relic on Mars), but the trailer seems to imply that Guardians will be able to customize every aspect of the weapon. Barrel, magazine, both left and right traits, and masterwork are all picked to create an excellent Auto Rifle.

Next we have the three Exotic weapons. The Grand Overture appears to be a heavy Shotgun like Legend of Acrius, only instead of firing a lightning wave, it fires multiple lightning slugs. The trailer mentions it can be charged to fire "full-auto missiles" with devastating consequences.
The Parasite Grenade Launcher fires worms as revealed in last weekend's leak. Each exploding worm does "increasing damage," which might even compete with Anarchy.
Finally, the Osteo Striga SMG fires swarming projectiles that trigger a toxic burst. This Exotic has long been revealed in the Season Pass, with the trailer showing it to be quite effective.
More details of the all-new Glaives were also revealed, with each class receiving its own special secondary ability. Titans Glaives can place a protective shield while Hunter Glaives fire tracking chain lightning. Warlock Glaives deploy a healing turret that seems to fire Noble Rounds at allies.
