The Loot of Season of Dawn
What was actually memorable was the loot and how rewarding Season of Dawn was. For the first time in a while it felt like there was actually a large helping of new weapons that were actually worth grinding for.
Most of the new weapons like Steelfeather Repeater, Patron of Lost Causes, and Line in the Sand, along with returners like Jack Queen King 3 and Traveler’s Judgment 5 were all solid additions and I can see myself using them for the foreseeable future.
The exotics, Devil’s Ruin, Symmetry and Bastion are all at least “good.” They all can hold their own in PvP and in some cases excel, and all have their niches in PvE too outside of the most hardcore of raid scenarios.
For example, I’m rocking a double fusion rifle build featuring Bastion that utilizes the new and powerful Season of Dawn mods which is very fun to use in Gambit.
While the exotics will reappear at a later date, if there’s something that players will really miss out on this season, it’s the ability to so easily get god rolls on the unique Season of Dawn weapons, the returning Lost Prophecy weapons and even the random world drop weapons like Bygones pretty much endlessly through the Sundial and Fractaline donations.
