The second of three developer livestreams for the upcoming Destiny 2: Into the Light aired Tuesday, introducing a new social space — the Hall of Champions — to Bungie's MMO shooter and listing some of the weapons and armor that players can earn leading up to The Final Shape expansion due out in June.
Devs describe Into the Light as free content that is a bit of a "greatest hits" to help Guardians gear up with powerful weaponry to fight the Witness. Here's a look at everything detailed in the March 26 livestream.
Destiny 2: Into the Light Livestream 2 Recap
- New Hall of Champions social space described as "backstage of the Tower" near where decorations for Festival of the Lost and the Dawning are stored

- Arcite 99-40 has Superblack Key Omega
