Destiny 2 players are buzzing with speculation that the legendary hand cannon, The Palindrome, will return with the February launch of Episode: Heresy. This theory stems from a cryptic palindrome tweet by the official Destiny 2 team. With Destiny 2's player base recently experiencing a downturn, many hope this episode, and the return of beloved weapons, will revitalize the game before the upcoming "Codename: Frontiers" content drop.
Episode: Revenant, the current episode, hasn't fully met expectations. Community feedback criticized the narrative and gameplay, leaving players less engaged. However, Revenant did reintroduce some classic weapons, including the Icebreaker sniper rifle, hinting at a trend.
The cryptic tweet, a palindrome itself, strongly suggests The Palindrome's return on February 4th. While not officially confirmed, the connection between the tweet and the weapon's name is too compelling to ignore. The Palindrome, a veteran of the original Destiny, has been absent since the 2022 Witch Queen expansion.
A More Powerful Palindrome?
This isn't The Palindrome's first appearance in Destiny 2, but past iterations disappointed with subpar perk combinations. Fans eagerly anticipate a more competitive perk pool for this legendary hand cannon.
Details about Episode: Heresy remain scarce, but its focus on the Hive and the Dreadnought (another nod to the original game) suggests more fan-favorite weapon returns are likely. Expect further teasers as the February 4th release date approaches.
