3D artist at Bungie Matt Lichy has posted a few high resolution renderings of new weapons coming to Destiny in The Taken King expansion.
The weapons in question are the Telesto fusion rifle, which was revealed by in-game exotic item vendor Xûr on Instagram a week ago, the Suros scout rifle, and the Omolon scout rifle. Below are photos and descriptions of each new gun.
Telesto Fusion Rifle
“An end will come, Guardian. Bring it about sooner with Telesto, a vestige of the Queen’s Harbringers. This Fusion Rifle will attach projectiles to your foes and detonate with a delayed Void blast. Multikills with this weapon will drop Orbs for your allies.”
Suros Scout Rifle
“Some say the best weapon for a Guardian is the one they can customize to match their intent. Suros believes in options–weapons that can be repurposed for a variety of combat situations. Suros talent grids offer two columns of two stat perks, granting more options for changing weapon stats than any other foundry. The single behavior perk is grounded in the middle of the talent grid as a focus point for the weapon’s core potential. If you want a weapon that can flex from CQ to ranged, quick to powerful, fast handling to hard hitting all with the swap of a few nodes: SUROS.”
Omolon Scout Rifle
“Pioneers of energy weaponry, Omolon is the first foundry to experiment beyond the world of combustion ballistics. Sporting lighter ergonomic frames, Omolon weapons all start with generous base handling stats to build from. Omolon talent grids focus on behavioral perks over stat customization. Legendary talent grids are the only weapons that offer three perks: one as the first non-scope upgrade and two as a binary choice in the final column. Perk selection favors perks that are energy based and/or go beyond the weapon to interact with the wielder’s abilities or status.”
In other Destiny news, Bungie announced that The Taken King’s raid, King’s Fall, will be available on Sept. 18, 2015, three days after the launch of The Taken King. Unfortunately for those still trying to get the Year 1-exclusive emblem before patch 2.0 goes live next week, Destiny will be offline for six hours tomorrow, Sept. 3.
