Destiny 2 players are buzzing with speculation that the legendary hand cannon, The Palindrome, will return with the February launch of Episode: Heresy. This speculation stems from a cryptic palindrome tweet on the official Destiny 2 Twitter account, mirroring the weapon's name. With Destiny 2 recently experiencing a dip in player numbers, many hope Episode: Heresy, preceding the "Codename: Frontiers" content drop, will revitalize the game.
Episode: Revenant, the current episode, received mixed reviews, criticized for its narrative and gameplay. While it did reintroduce some classic weapons like the Icebreaker, its overall reception was underwhelming.
The cryptic tweet, a palindrome itself, strongly hints at The Palindrome's return on February 4th. While not officially confirmed, the community believes this is a deliberate tease. The Palindrome, a veteran weapon from the original Destiny, has previously appeared in Destiny 2 but was removed after The Witch Queen expansion in 2022.
A More Powerful Palindrome?
Past iterations of The Palindrome in Destiny 2 haven't lived up to expectations, often lacking desirable perks. This time, however, fans are hoping for a meta-defining perk selection. With Episode: Heresy focusing on the Hive and the Dreadnought (another classic element from the original Destiny), more fan-favorite weapon returns are anticipated as the release date approaches.
