Season of the Witch (Season 22 of Destiny 2) did not feature a specific reintroduction or dedicated focus on weapons from the original Red War campaign era (Year 1 of Destiny 2).
Primary Weapon Sources in Season of the Witch
The main weapon acquisitions during this season centered on distinct categories:
- New Seasonal Weapons: A unique set of armaments themed around Hive magic. These were primarily obtainable through the seasonal activities, Savathûn's Spire and Altars of Summoning, and could be focused at the Ritual Table in the H.E.L.M.
- Reprised Crota's End Raid Weapons: Classic weapons from the Destiny 1 Crota's End raid were updated and reintroduced as part of the reprised raid launched during this season.
- Seasonal Exotic Weapon: The Exotic catalyst and quest for Ex Diris, a Grenade Launcher, was a key pursuit.
Status of Red War Era Weapons During Season of the Witch
While some individual weapons originally introduced during Destiny 2's Red War campaign (Year 1) might have remained technically obtainable through broader, more general loot pools (such as certain world drops or legacy vendor engrams), their availability was not a highlighted feature, thematic component, or targeted farm within Season of the Witch. The season's narrative, activities, and dedicated loot structure were concentrated on its own new content and the reprised raid arsenal.
Key weapon sets that were the focus of Season of the Witch included:
- Seasonal Legendary Weapons:
- The Eremite (High-Impact Solar Fusion Rifle)
- Kept Confidence (Adaptive Frame Strand Hand Cannon)
- Brya's Love (Precision Frame Void Scout Rifle)
- Semiotician (High-Impact Strand Rocket Launcher)
- Locus Locutus (Adaptive Frame Stasis Sniper Rifle)
- Eleatic Principle (Rapid-Fire Frame Arc Machine Gun)
- Crota's End Raid Legendary Weapons:
- Word of Crota (Precision Frame Void Hand Cannon)
- Fang of Ir Yût (Rapid-Fire Frame Strand Scout Rifle)
- Abyss Defiant (High-Impact Solar Auto Rifle)
- Swordbreaker (Lightweight Frame Strand Shotgun)
- Song of Ir Yût (Adaptive Frame Arc Machine Gun)
- Oversoul Edict (Rapid-Fire Frame Arc Pulse Rifle)
Therefore, players specifically looking for "Red War weapons" as a featured or farmable set would not have found them as a central offering or reward path within the Season of the Witch's specific activities, vendor systems, or progression tracks.
