Initially, we'll only be able to craft weapons that were introduced either by the Witch Queen or as part of Season 16, but given that Bungie plans to add around 42 new legendary weapons, it feels like plenty to be going on with. The grind isn't gone-in fact, you'll need to acquire the same gun many times to harvest its most desirable traits and place them on your god roll-but players willing to put that time in will be rewarded with the exact weapon they want. With the Witch Queen, the studio will deliver its most deterministic take so far. This slightly reduced the randomness, but you're still pulling a slot machine lever when it comes to the perks. In recent seasons, Bungie began to let players 'focus' engrams into specific weapons.

Your options here will be more limited-think barrels and magazines, rather than the more flavourful perks-along similar lines to the way that Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale can roll with different options without reducing the core identity. Though crafting is mostly focused on legendary weapons, you will also be able to craft versions of the three exotic glaives and a new SMG called Osteo Striga that fires toxin-spreading bullets.

Allow me to counter-propose that having been arc blasted for several minutes by a wizard, few of us will be crying onto our keyboards as we crush its ghost like a coke can. In the vidoc (embedded below), senior producer Bonnie Burton suggests it's initially 'almost a moral dilemma' because players are used to ghosts being our cheery companions. Again, on normal difficulty they go down easy enough, although unless you destroy their bony little ghosts you can expect them to be back up and blasting in seconds.

Between the demo and Bungie's latest vidoc, I've seen three flavours-acolytes throwing solar knives, knights popping double void sentinel shields, and (most upsettingly) a wizard which went into full arc Stormcaller mode at the end of the mission. The likeliest source of sudden difficulty spikes are the Lucent Brood-newly minted Hive 'guardians' who have access to similar light-enabled powers as us. Might be time to equip Suppressor grenades, folks.

This knight will come at you with a pair of purple Captain America grenades. Promisingly, the difficulty ramps up or down depending on how many co-op partners you're with (though I fear this could lead to my teammates asking me to leave, just to make things easier). Unlike previous campaigns, at least there will be loot on offer-sometimes dropping after tricky encounters within the same mission-and those rewards are doubled if you play on Legendary. We weren't shown the Legendary difficulty, but based on how Destiny 2's challenge currently scales, it's safe to expect another cheek clapper. It was being played on 'Classic' (ie normal) difficulty, and as such was the kind of face roll Destiny 2 players will be familiar with thanks to our power crept abilities and arsenals. That kind of big brain strategy wasn't necessary in the mission I watched, though. Combine that with Bleak Watcher freezing turrets on Stasis and you're going to be in support class, crowd controlling heaven. Each class will receive its own exotic glaive, with a spicy alt-fire effect-for instance, the Warlock variant can deploy a healing turret. Dealing damage charges a secondary shield effect, which should prove useful when trying to resurrect guardians who've died in an inconvenient spot. In melee mode there's a simple 1-2-3 combo, while the ranged attack reminded me of one of Hexen's wands. They also differ in that the focus is on pointy, stabby attacks rather than sweeping blows. In the demo, said killing leant hard into usage of the Glaive, a new hybrid melee-ranged weapon-think steak knife on a pole-which, unlike swords, are used in first-person.
