A lot is riding on Destiny 2: The Final Shape, and per my hands-on preview of the expansion's campaign, Bungie is checking all boxes so far. The narrative looks promising, the new Prismatic subclass feels incredible, and sweeping balance changes across the game seem to be moving it toward a healthier spot.
One element I didn't get to spend all that much time experimenting with in my play session, simply due to the limited time and access involved, was the broader arsenal coming in The Final Shape. The new guns that I did see, including a precious few Exotics, all seemed to have potential or immediately impressed me, but there are dozens more waiting in the wings. This expansion is also making some foundational weapons changes, and setting up more to come in the future, with a few key mods disappearing and blanket buffs coming to many archetypes.
