Hey guys, I have been studying the hell out of some of the pre release materials up to this point, and I think I may have figured out the full exotic weapons list for the Taken King. Now this list only applies to weapons, and I also have a few theories and admit that some of this is conjecture. But I feel pretty confident this is a pretty accurate estimation of all the weapons that will be available in TTK. Gonna leave it all in a spoiler tag [spoiler] PART 1: THE COLLECTIONS PAGE This is based on the collections page as shown in the Destiny Year 2 QoL stream reveal from last week. https://youtu.be/gNoAIuATSQE If you pause at 34 seconds, you will see the whole list. Counting up the number of exotic weapon slots is 26 Bungie has confirmed 12 new exotics so far, and I think the real number is 13 if we include Jade Rabbit. PART 2: THE NEW EXOTICS Bungie have said in the Game Informer article that there will be 12 new exotics, and based on the info we have so far, here is what we already know. 100% Confirmed Exotic Weapons Scout Rifle- Jade Rabbit Pulse Rifle- No Time to Explain Shotgun- The Chaperone Fusion Rifles- Telesta and Sleeper Stimulant SIGHTED EXOTIC WEAPONS NOT CONFIRMED Scout Rifle- 347 Vesta Dynasty Auto Rifle- Unconfirmed Arc Auto Rifle LMG- Firelord? No name but sighted CONFIRMED BY GAME INFORMER Sniper Rifle- Exotic which blinds targets I started to notice a pattern. There are 11 weapon types, and there are 12-13 new exotics. So I think it will break down like this: Auto Rifle: Arc Auto Pulse Rifle: No Time to Explain Scout Rifle: 347 Vesta Dynasty and Jade Rabbit Hand Cannon: Unknown There are 14 Primary slots, and we can comfirm at least 6 of those are taken up by old exotics. With 13 new exotics, we can safely predict at least one exotic per weapon type. 2 scouts and one of each other weapon type (1 scout for Xbox). Special Weapons have seven slots. There are 4 weapons types in Special: Sniper: unknown Shotgun: Chaperone Fusion Rifle: Sleeper Stimulant and Telesto Sidearm: Unknown That would fill 5 of the seven slots Heavy weapons have 5 slots. There are now 3 heavy weapon types LMG: Firelord Rocket Launcher: Unknown Sword: Unknown. So, the final list for all Year 2 Exotics could look something like this Auto Rifle: Ukonvasara Scout Rifle: 347 Vesta Dynasty and Jade Rabbit Pulse: No Time to Explain Hand Cannon: Unknown Sniper: Confirmed Sniper with blind ability Shotgun: The Chaperone Fusion: Sleeper Stimulant and Telesto Side Arm: Unknown LMG: Firelord Rocket Launcher: Unknown Sword: Unknown Depending on the version, that is 12 to 13 new exotics. [/spoiler] Ill post more in a bit about which year one exotics I believe will come forward and my theories on the new unknown exotics. EDIT: Okay, now for year 1 exotics going forward [spoiler] PART 3: OLD EXOTICS COMING FORWARD So here is the confirmed list of Year 1 exotics coming forward: SUROS Regime Monte Carlo Bad JuJu Red Death Hawkmoon The Last Word Invective 4th Horseman Truth Thunderlord With the specials and heavies, the current list covers the remaining slots. So with the new exotic list from earlier in the post, we can see all seven special slots are covered and all five heavy slots are covered between the d and new exotics. However, the primary year 2 list combined with the old exotics still leaves 3 empty slots. Unknown Arc Auto Rifle SUROS Regime Monte Carlo 347 Vesta Dynasty Jade Rabbit Bas JuJu Red Death No Time to Explain Hawkmoon The Last Word Unknown Handcannon So where are those 3 slots coming from? What year one exotics are going to fill those slots? I think one is obvious: MIDA Multi Tool. It is the only exotic scout rifle from year one. The other two slots are tricky... and in the next update I will speculate more. [/spoiler] EDIT: So now for the 3 remaining Primary slots unaccounted for. Speculation ahead. [spoiler] PART 4: HIDDEN YEAR ONES So Ive been able to account for at least 23 of the 26 slots available on the Exotics collection page. But there are still 3 Primary slots that are unaccounted for. Here are my theories 1st Slot: MIDA Multi Tool is one of those slots. It just makes sense to bring it along. Its a balanced weapon already. 2nd and 3rd slots: This is more controversial, but I think the last two slots will be... Hard Light and Necrochasm. I know, I know; based on the video I linked here, Hard Light and Necrochasm do not appear to be part of the group. But I believe we are being misled 1. Both of these weapons are reciving major buffs in weapons 2.0. Why, just for regular Crucible? 2. Hard Light is an Omolom exclusive and Necrochasm is the weapon earned essentially by killing Crota... the son of Oryx. They have major connections to TTK. 3. We have no idea what build of TTK was used to make the teaser. Hard Light and Necrochasm 2.0 may not have existed in the game yet. 4. Both weapons have been featured extensively in TTK videos. I have 2 theories: 1. surprise! both weapons will be available in the collections kiosk, amd Bungie will just shrug and say "we told you the game wasnt done yet." 2. You will be sent on a quest to get both guns. One quest releated to Omolon and one related to Crota in some way. We already know one quest will take us to the VoG. Why not another to Crotas End? We already saw the bridge used for one mission/quest. [/spoiler] Ill have more in a bit. EDIT: And now for FAN THEORIES AND SPECULATION [spoiler] PART 5: THEORIES ABOUT THE UNKNOWN EXOTICS So here is what I believe will be the full list of Exotic Weapons in TTK Ukonvasara SUROS Regime Monte Carlo Hard Light Necrochasm MIDA Multi Tool 347 Vesta Dynasty Jade Rabbit Bas JuJu Red Death No Time to Explain Hawkmoon The Last Word Unknown Handcannon Invective 4th Horsemam The Chaperone Sleeper Stimulant Telesto Unknown Sniper Blinding Perk Unknown Sidearm Thunderlord Firelord- Name unknown Truth Unknown Rocket Launcher Unknown Sword I want to focus on the weapons I have listed as "Unknown" because I want to wildly speculate. Unknown Hand Cannon: one part of me is sad to see Thorn take a step back because of the awesome lore behind it. Dregden Yor, Shin Malphur, The Last Word... good stuff. And it got me to thinking how the next hand cannon could fit into that lore. I imagine a quest to purify the terrifying Thorn and return it to its former form... Rose. The quest would sort of be a reverse of the bounty to get Thorn in order to purify it. It would sort of be a fitting send off for Thorn too. Unknown Sidearm- I got 2 lame theories here. 1 is a Hakke version of a Desert Eagle like weapon with a slower rate of fire and higher impact for a side arm. The other would be closer to the lore... some form of exotic reef styled sidearm. Unknown Rocket Launcher- It should be another Crux/Lomar creation. They made Gjallarhorn, Truth and Dragons Breath. Makes sense. Unknown Sword: This one is cool. The exotic sword will be TTKs version of Vex Mythoclast and Necrochasm. It will be the raid exotic... didnt Oryx wield a massive sword? So there are my fan theories about the unknown exotics. One more minor update. [/spoiler] EDIT TL;DR The Taken King Exotic will be: Ukonvasara- New Arc Auto SUROS Regime Monte Carlo Hard Light Necrochasm MIDA Multi Tool 347 Vesta Dynasty Jade Rabbit Bas JuJu Red Death No Time to Explain Hawkmoon The Last Word Unknown Handcannon - THEORY Rose Invective 4th Horsemam The Chaperone Sleeper Stimulant Telesto Unknown Sniper Blinding Perk Unknown Sidearm- THEORY Reef Weapon or Hakke Deagle Thunderlord Firelord- Name unknown Truth Unknown Rocket Launcher- THEORY Crux/Lomar Unknown Sword- THEORY Raid Exotic Oryx Sword
