With the release of Ash & Iron, Destiny 2 dropped some fresh and versatile weapons that can be obtained easily this season.
Including 2 new Exotics and 3 Legendary weapons, the Ash & Iron update expands your arsenal with more options for PvE, PvP, or a mix of both.
Whether you are chasing meta picks or want to round out your collection, this guide covers every weapon added in the Ash & Iron update.
Exotic Weapons
1) New Malpais (Pulse Rifle)
New Malpais is a Strand Pulse Rifle that features the Atomizing Rounds intrinsic trait, which causes its rounds to become embedded in enemies until detonated.
This Pulse Rifle works well with not only Strand builds, though, since you can trigger multiple rounds embedded in an enemy to suspend them.
2) Wolfsbane (Sword)
The Wolfsbane Axe is categorized as a Solar Sword, being a decent weapon to have for those who love to swing melee weapons at their enemies.
Currently, this weapon will not be available until October 2025, but once it is released, you can enjoy utilizing Nano-Assault while smashing your enemies at close range.
Legendary Weapons
1) Folded Root (Rocket Launcher)
Folded Root is a Void Aggressive Frame Rocket Launcher, making it the only Void rocket you can farm in-game right now.
It rolls with perks like Air Trigger and Bipod, allowing for quick reloads and increased magazine size, making it a solid choice for add-clear and boss damage in PvE.
2) Romantic Death (Grenade Launcher)
Romantic Death is a Void Wave-Frame Grenade Launcher that excels in crowd control, releasing a wave of energy upon impact.
It can roll with perks like Volatile Launch and Destabilizing Rounds, making it effective for both PvE and PvP scenarios.
3) Submersion (Crossbow)
Submersion is a Stasis High-Impact Frame Crossbow with a unique playstyle that works well in close and mid-range encounters.
Its perk rolls include Chill Clip, High Ground, and others that enhance shatter combos and Stasis effects, making it versatile for aggressive strategies and utility in both PvE and PvP.
Verdict
Ash & Iron adds weapons with unique traits and perk rolls that give Guardians real choices for encounters, depending on what activity you plan on doing.
Exotics like New Malpais and Wolfsbane reward experimentation, while Legendaries like Folded Root and Romantic Death shine with the right perks.
Focusing on weapons that suit your playstyle helps you stay effective in PvE and PvP without spreading resources too thin.
