Bungie has shared fresh insights about the highly anticipated Arms Week event in Destiny 2, introducing Guardians to a groundbreaking new weapon and exclusive mods available for a limited time. Following the recent Edge of Fate expansion launch, this event marks another milestone in the Year of Prophecy content roadmap.

The Desert Perpetual raid recently debuted with innovative nonlinear mechanics that impressed players, despite some technical challenges. Now, Bungie shifts focus to Arms Week - a special seven-day event beginning July 29 that spotlights specific weapon types, starting with Hand Cannons.

During Arms Week, players can:

• Initiate a new questline with Ada-1 at the shooting gallery
• Collect telemetry data through gameplay
• Complete special Daily and Weekly challenges
• Earn exclusive Holofoil weapons and Reroll Chips
