Destiny 2 players are buzzing with speculation that the legendary hand cannon, The Palindrome, will return with the February launch of Episode: Heresy. This excitement stems from a cryptic palindrome tweet by the official Destiny 2 team. With Destiny 2 recently experiencing a dip in player numbers, many hope Episode: Heresy will revitalize the game before the upcoming "Codename: Frontiers" content drop.
Episode: Revenant, the current episode, hasn't quite met expectations. Community feedback criticized the narrative and gameplay, leaving players somewhat disenchanted. While Revenant did reintroduce some classic weapons, including the Icebreaker sniper rifle, its overall reception was mixed.
However, it seems Bungie is planning a more substantial weapon revival in Heresy, launching February 4th. The team's palindrome tweet—a word sequence reading the same backward and forward—strongly hints at The Palindrome's return, a legendary hand cannon from the original Destiny. While not officially confirmed, the community is practically certain.
The Return of The Palindrome: A Chance for Redemption
This won't be The Palindrome's first appearance in Destiny 2; it was previously available but has been absent since The Witch Queen expansion in 2022. Past iterations, while powerful in PvP, disappointed with their perk selections.
Fans eagerly anticipate a more meta-friendly perk pool this time. Details about Episode: Heresy remain scarce, beyond its Hive and Dreadnought focus (another beloved element from the original game). As the release date approaches, more fan-favorite weapon returns are likely to be teased by Bungie.
