Destiny 2 Echoes Act 2 release date
The story of Echoes is set to get a bit darker from here on out. With Saint-14 being mind-controlled and his terrifying existential crisis, the mysterious “Conductor” will definitely play a larger part in the story.
Since this is only the second act of Echoes, it’s likely the plot won’t see its end so soon, but it does mean we’ll get a bit more information as to what’s happening on Nessus.
Bungie is releasing three new weapons with the second act of Echoes, one of which is the first of its kind.
The first ever Solar Rocket-Assisted Sidearm frame will be arriving in the form of Abberant Action. The Heavy Burst Pulse Rifle archetype is getting a new Arc entry titled Corrasion, and finally, Kinetic Shotgun Perfect Paradox will be making a comeback in the update.
It wouldn’t be a new Destiny 2 update without some new big baddies to take on. Act 2 will launch with two new battlegrounds and a third will arrive shortly afterward.
The first two launch with the Act itself on July 16, while the final one will be available the week after on July 23.
