Destiny 2 gets its own Halo-style battle rifle and pistol

Finish the fight in Destiny.

The battle rifle and pistol from Halo  are coming to Destiny 2.

Bungie, the studio  responsible for creating Destiny  and  Halo, is about to turn 30. In celebration, the Bungie 30th Anniversary event in Destiny 2  is filled to the brim with fun easter eggs for long-time fans. Most notably, a couple of weapons from Halo.

Halo’s  battle rifle and pistol are arguably the series  most iconic and recognizable weapons. So in a clever nod to the series, both guns will be in Destiny 2  soon. Check out the trailer below to see them in action for yourself! Wild that even the signature triple-shot burst of the battle rifle is there.

I quite like the  needler-inspired  shoulder pads too.

The GIF below gives a better look at how each gun looks and functions in Destiny 2.

While Bungie is undoubtedly known for Destiny  these days, the studio made a name for itself with the original  Halo  trilogy. Back in 2007, Bungie bought its independence from Microsoft and then created Destiny. 343 Industries then took over  the reins of Halo, as Microsoft retained the rights to the series. Now it’s all come full circle!
