Next week,Destiny 2will launch its second exotic quest for Season of Opulence, which is called the Lumina Quest. It is wildly believed that this quest will send players on an adventure to reclaimRose, one of the weapons of sorrow inDestinyloreand the counterpoint to Thorn.
But while this Lumina quest is the only announced exotic quest left for Season of Opulence, and by extensionDestiny 2Year 2, it might not be the last one waiting to unlock. Strong evidence suggests that there will be a new secret mission unlocked later this season that will send players on an adventure for Bad Juju.
Bungie hasn’t confirmed anything at this point, but a source with close ties to the game claims that there will be anotherweapon quest like Zero Hourand Whisper. Apparently, this secret mission will have players exploring the Ascendant plane while on Leviathan, Emperor Calus’ ship. But unlike Zero Hour and Whisper, which were timed missions, this one will have no time limit and will be more mechanics focused, but the source says that this is not a dungeon like Shattered Throne.
Unfortunately, this source has no way to corroborate their claim but they do offer some clues withinDestiny 2’smarketing and files that hint at a similar idea. First and foremost, there is a Triumph datamined inDestiny 2Season of Opulence that tasks players with completing a mission called The Other Side without dying. This could be something unrelated to Bad Juju, but the source claims it’s this quest.
Additionally, there is a brief shot in theDestiny 2Season of Opulence trailer that shows an Ascendant version of Leviathan architecture. The source claims that this is part of the Bad Juju mission and that the glowing orb (seen below) is the skull on the front of the exotic pulse rifle.
All on its own, this rumor would seem farfetched, but since there was a datamine for anexotic catalyst that looks a lot like Bad Juju, there is reason to believe this might be real. Of course, some fan could be making everything up simply by building off that datamined image, but the screenshot and Triumph help support their case.
Presumably, if this secret exotic mission is planned for Season 7, then it will go live once Bungie has delivered all of its promised content, like the Tribute Hall, Moments of Triumph, and Solstice of Heroes. All of that content should either be completed or launched by July 30th, which leaves about a month before thenext expansion, Shadowkeep, releasesand enough time to slip in one last exotic weapon mission.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
