All sunset weapons - Destiny 2

Published , by Sam Chandler

Though there are a lot of weapons in Destiny 2, many have been sunset over the years. As we head toward the release of The Final Shape, Bungie revealed that the weapons that are sunset would be available to use once more. There are a lot of currently sunset weapons in Destiny 2 and you can find them all listed below.

All sunset weapons

With the release of Beyond Light, Bungie implemented item sunsetting. A piece of gear would only be effective and usable during the year it was released after which players would no longer be able to infuse it up to the current Power level. The devs decided to stop this after player pushback, but weapons that were already sunset remained so.

Cut to April 25, 2024, and Bungie announced that all previously sunset weapons would be unsunset with the release of The Final Shape. Any weapons that players had in their vaults will become available once more for infusion and as such can be used in content where Power is enabled.

The following is a collection of all currently sunset weapons in Destiny 2. This should give players a good understanding of exactly how many weapons were made obsolete and the number that will be returning with The Final Shape. It’s important to note that though they will be unsunset, they might not be dropping immediately. Bungie will be updating these weapons with new perks and Origin Traits and looking at where to implement them as rewards.

In addition to this, some of these sunset weapons have been released multiple times. Some have been reissued and sunset again, while fewer still have been reissued and remain in the game as viable options. A few of these have even made their way into the Onslaught loot pool. More still have been released alongside seasonal weapons, are available in Exotic missions, and even as world drops.

A lot of these have random rolls, which means they cannot be pulled from Collections. However, there are several from the early days of Destiny 2 when guns did not have random rolls that can be reclaimed. There are also some powerful weapons (like the previous Pinnacle weapons) that can be pulled directly from Collections and theoretically used when The Final Shape releases.

Auto Rifles

Scout Rifles

Pulse Rifles

Hand Cannons

Submachine Guns

Sidearms

Bows

Shotguns

Grenade Launchers (breech-loaded)

Fusion Rifles

Sniper Rifles

Swords

Grenade Launchers

Rocket Launchers

Linear Fusion Rifles

Machine Guns

As you can see, there are almost 300 weapons that were sunset during those dark times in Destiny 2’s history. Many of these remained locked to 1600 Power, unable to be infused to higher levels and enjoyed by the players that worked hard to unlock them. While some were returned to the game with new craftable versions and better rolls, many haven’t seen the light of day in years. This is all set to change once The Final Shape arrives and Bungie reintroduces these back into the sandbox.
