Just as with Season of the Haunted, Bungie kept its cards close to the chest when it came to Destiny 2's Season of Plunder until it felt ready to show it. That was during Bungie's August showcase, where fans got new details that went live soon thereafter. In Season of Plunder, players form their own space pirate crew of sorts with allied Eliksni in order to board the Ketch ships of the recently revived Eramis, the main villain of the Beyond Light campaign from two years ago. Destiny 2's current Season was shipped alongside the highly anticipated Arc 3.0 update, which concluded the set of reworks for Light subclasses that Bungie began with The Witch Queen.

Accompanying the Arc rework in Season of Plunder are multiple new weapons of the same element, with many of them replacing outdated alternatives or guns that are now difficult to come by. An example is the Tarnished Mettle scout rifle that drops from all Season of Plunder activities, which is particularly good to see due to the lack of Arc scout rifles in Destiny 2, at least from those currently available. Even though the various weapons from Season of Plunder are fantastic choices for all activities, players might be sleeping on one of the new perks introduced this Season, which is on par with, if not better than, Season of the Haunted's Incandescent.

While Destiny 2 has many good add-clearing perks, having one that naturally fits with the rework of Light subclasses was a great addition,
